That is a great example of how it can be used but I am not sure it shows him really well how that leg is in and how he can get it in. We all know getting the leg in is not as easy as it sounds.

A good leg rider will always get a leg in. Always.

I know from experience, being a decent leg rider myself. Not saying I'm the best because I'm far from it, but I've put the legs in on a lot of good HS wrestlers who went D1 in my day and turned them.

My "you bet" reply wasn't sarcastic. I agree that a good leg man can get a leg in on almost anyone if he sets it up properly. I was a pretty good at it, too (see "favorite move" under my name).

I always tell people that want to get good at it, the must have strong legs and strong arms/forearms in order to properly apply the pressure needed to be good at it.
I even wrote an article about using the leg ride for a wrestling resource site. I wrote it several years ago and it was kind of hard to put to words, but I think I did alright. As I look back at it, it needs an update.

| These are good to have, but I believe the most important things for a good leg rider are good position (hip in tight to his hip, hips higher than his hips, and body parallel to the mat when riding), and good leverage (back arched with pressure on his hip and back).

Those are definately important. I guess when I mentioned my advice I should've stated that its mainly for the purpose of pinning someone out of it. Nothing like cranking it over for your 14th point, then stepping over and getting the pin.
