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.

He said he can only ride 10 feet not much of a problem stopping.

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 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Joe2005's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/13692 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/63497

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.
