I"ve seen some people on trainer-clamped bikes stand up and start to sprint like they're on the road and really start torquing the handlebars around and really flexing the frame. Total idiots.
Just be smooth and follow the advice of the previous posters. Some people do use different tires for their trainer so they don't wear out their road tires. Trainers do tend to be a bit hard on tires by wearing down a center flat on them.
