"OK" that's his catch phrase

[cavemanapps]

This is not good advice! I advice for you learners to fall forward and reach back with your dominant hand and catch the back of the seat. I have been riding for about a year and I have always used this method. When I was learning at first I would fall backwards and I nearly broke my tailbone. DONT GO BACKWARDS! (Thumbs up if you agree)

I've been finding that it's easier (and safer) to step off this way, off the back. I've tried the other way and while most were successful, I had moments where I felt like I was going to fall flat on my face, and another time still somehow on the saddle, leg behind the peddle, forcing me to do the splits. Going off the back, my uni just lands resting against me, or I manage to reach out and catch it. I'm still learning to ride but making some progress.

I've been riding since I was 5 years old , so almost 11 years now , and you can't control which way you fall ,. I personally have hurt myself falling both ways , front and back ,. It doesn't matter which way you fall . Either way there is a chance you'll fall .

IT IS GOING TO HURT IF YOU ARE NOT WEARING A HELMATE LIKE ME

[1proxima]

actually if you fall forwards, your foot may not come off the pedal and u just pedal twice as hard and hurt 2 times as many things. ive fallen tons of times and i think back is the best way. falling forwards has too many things that can go wrong. and falling backwards doesnt destroy your back. and what are you going to slip on, the gound? and it is technically a "bike"

[twototwo1]

wwhat a dipshit i agree with cavemanapps why the fuck not fall forwards you jus as easily land on your foot, its easier to fall frwards than fall back slip and destreoy ur back

[ssman26]

oh and its not a bike you dipshit

[ssman26]
