Seth's bike hacks
I think I watched one of his videos where he converted his bike to SS. I mocked him for crushing his bars, but he could outride the shit outta me.
Yeah, it was him:

You don't so much pull on the bars as throw your arse back. It takes getting over the fear of cracking your skull into the ground (this doesn't actually happen your feet just slide off and you run with the bike on the back wheel a bit). You use the back brake a little to stop looping out.
But I never did get the hang of it and shouldn't really be offering "advice".
There's shitloads of videos on this kind of thing now. I used to watch how to ride biketrials VHS videos of this kind of stuff back in the day.
