step 6Other bits and pieces...
Trackstands:
These aren't hard, to start with practice by going very slow and keeping your balance until you can do it with minimal turning of the handlebars. Find a slight slope, now the idea here is not to try and keep super still but to use your back brake and pedals to rock back and forth with the handlebars turned slightly to keep your balance, handy for lots of things, one of which is muddy places, means you don't need to keep slipping on your pedals later on...
Dismounting:
I like to dismount both with a little grace and in a way that involves minimum effort, my favourite is definitely coming along and swinging one leg over the bike so I'm standing on one pedal and my other leg is tucked in behind me, start with both hands on the handlebars, you need to lean in to keep your balance, eventually you can get this by leaning over the bike with one hand and one foot, which is cool for saluting people and whatnot.
Future additions:
Well anything you'd like to see in here please do comment me or PM with requests, I'm sure there are tricks I'd know and others I'd like to learn.
Coming soon, ledzeppie's 'ible on more advanced tricks on you bike.
Another coming soon will be my more advanced 'ible, with some help from prometheus...
