Using Momentum

As a full-time wheeler, your arms and shoulders are always at risk of overuse and overstrain.
One of the most useful techniques to protect yourself is to use momentum whenever you can.
The most common example is with a ramp. If you start from a standstill, then you’re putting a lot of force on your shoulders to get going.
But if you have some momentum as you approach it, then you’ll never have to exert yourself as much, and you’ll be up the ramp with fewer pushes.
