I have a Yamaha S90XS and would love to add a Nord C2 and a harpsichord to the keyboard quiver. http://nevertoolatetolearnpiano.blogspot.comGrowling Geckohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08047024701261814380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7859053696155706171.post-60217129499052655032012-01-02T07:10:15.703+08:002012-01-02T07:10:15.703+08:00Umm interesting, I have had that occur when I inad...Umm interesting, I have had that occur when I inadvertently allow the front end of the mat to dig in to the wave face and that is the end of the ride for me generally. One of the things I love about a mat is how easy it is to paddle through choppy water compared to a board so not sure what is going on here. I notice MT seems to take particular care to keeps his hands flat on top of the mat. I am thinking he might be doing that to temper the likelihood of the mat moving outside of it's best wave riding state. I will put this query as a post and see if we can get some other comments on the matter!Growling Geckohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08047024701261814380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7859053696155706171.post-88907536661370252582012-01-01T20:12:12.229+08:002012-01-01T20:12:12.229+08:00@ramsnake53 Hi Robin. I tried replying to your co...@ramsnake53 Hi Robin. I tried replying to your comment on my youTube page but failed, so posting here. Sorry that it will seem off topic. I'm a fellow matter and blues lover. Knew you were a gat man from some of the music vids you've posted. I play keys as you've no doubt guessed. Hammond SK1 is on my wish list (unlikely).<br />Regarding those odd stalls, running a soft mat which buckles on hitting a chop might also momentarily apply the brakes? Or when you get a bounce on...oof!...mat bends (perhaps through rider's reaction to the impact), ploughs water and stalls. Just to play devil's advocate, outrunning the power spot kind of contradicts the mats supposed ability to skim flat spots?? Though there's 'skinny weak as sh*t flat' and 'flat' but with power drawing from down deep...those we fly on. I'm on my second Neumatic after 6 yrs matting. Currently on the Sunshine Coast QLD.nathanojhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12011595834486391605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7859053696155706171.post-85400626845030350462011-12-29T15:21:27.915+08:002011-12-29T15:21:27.915+08:00great stuff since i started matting thanks for you...great stuff since i started matting thanks for you workdanielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00806482365997268790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7859053696155706171.post-78118275931075324222011-12-27T23:31:38.268+08:002011-12-27T23:31:38.268+08:00Thanks for all the great stuff and all the hard wo...Thanks for all the great stuff and all the hard work you put into the blog and videos!pranagliderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07936332444971443669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7859053696155706171.post-30816007711315869302011-12-27T14:40:02.996+08:002011-12-27T14:40:02.996+08:00Thanks for the year!
