You are both very observant! Watch the difference in push-off between the left hind and the right hind. He goes along just fine and level on the left push, but the right push is different and throws the momentum more upwards, which is where the rider is bouncing. Having the white line fence behind is good for relativity in the levelness. Judy http://iceryder.net http://clickryder.com
