  3. that thing is hideous. eventually as you get good you won't even need
    that to not rub the tire. also, as your balancing on the plates it
    might smack the insides of your legs.

    You jump off.

    I never, ever, rub my leg on the tire anyway. (on a normal BC)

    nobody knows what happened to that boy after that.-Nutcracker

    i know. he was kidnapped by aliens, learnt their ways, stole the
    biggest ship he could, travelled back in time by mistake and crashed
    the plane on the earth surface. he was the one who killed the
    dinosaurs. -ivan

  8. I don't think he saying it never ever happens, occasionally it will
    happen. Some people ride like Spencer, using their leg as a brake
    constantly. Others are more selective, and some don't use their legs to
    brake at all. I usually just do a tight turn uphill, or slalom to slow
    down.
