Atm, I am still figuring out how to miss the bumps/holes with 3 different tire tracks, lol. It was a lot easier with one in-line. I do love not having to put a food down and balancing. Just need to get my body position spot on. I'm thinking if I recline the seat back just a little bit it will also tip the seat bottom back a bit and stop the sliding. Then I'll have to readjust the boom length I guess.
