I have (and use) them (regularly); I also don't want to wreck my tires so I also rely on resisting the pedals to slow down. But even then I think it's a good deal of pull up as much as push down and I wonder if I should be changing that. On the other hand I also do occasionally enjoy riding with just legs (and also want to learn to trackstand), and figured this was the best place to ask for advice?

I'm definitely a "yank the front foot up" kind of guy (not that I skid any more, tyres cost £60 a pop these days). I switched from straps to spds years ago and found it much easier to skid.

lots of online videos to check our but a good tip when starting out is to look up/forward. Harder to keep balance when looking down.

Have you considered using brakes?
