How to fall off a Coker

try to get your legs into running motion mid air, even
though you will be going fast when you leave unexpectedly,
your legs will be spinning in a walking fashion.

You can run out of a suprisingly fast UPD though, but if you
need to roll, just try to roll forward into a sommersault,
perhaps trying to get some diagonal movement in, as you will
most likely not be flying of the Coker straight on.

Try aiming towards the softest place!

Wear armour.

Ride in control...you will soon be able to ride in control
at very quick speeds.

The best way out of a crash is to remain vigilant, always
scanning for an out. Keeping an eye on things further ahead
than on a MUni, for example, is a very good practice. It's
nice to know where you are going to be able to turn into, if
a car backs out in front of you, or something like that.

Practice? How about just riding progressively faster in a
grassy feild and just jumping off, and see what happens.

"Heavy water is D2O rather than H2O. D, deuterium, is an isotope of
hydrogen, H, that behaves chemically the same but has twice the atomic
mass. This is because it has a neutron and a proton in its nucleus
rather than just a proton. Oxygen, common to both D2O and H2O molecules,
has an atomic mass of 16. The total atomic mass within a D2O molecule is
20 and within an H2O molecule is 18. Heavy water is 20/18, 10/9, or 1.11
times as heavy as water." - Harper's response to 'Hi Greg, how are
ya?'

Hi all,

I'm about to go from 150mm cranks to 125mm on my Coker in
hopes of getting some more speed out of it. This will
officially put me at a speed of just-faster-than-I-can-
run, so I want to practice rolling out of a fall. I've
never practiced falling, though, and I have no idea what
would be a good way to roll, or what would be a good way
to practice it. Any suggestions?

Ooh, I know this one:

Aikido ukemi. Extend an arm, roll like an egg along the
ulna, then upper arm, then shoulder (ducking), then along
the back to the opposite hip. Post your same-side shin and
roll smoothly to your feet.

Practice on a grassy field, a hundred reps a day for a
while, until it's automatic. Both sides, please.
