[FONT=Calibri][SIZE=3]Picture me on my way home last night, being a good boy and stopped at the lights, working on my trackstand. Front wheel at about 90 degrees so I can do the stand without brakes. All too cool for school. Light goes green - off I go - hammer down. Except I forgot to put the front wheel straight first. Result - straight over the bars from stationary. Cue howls of laughter from the riders around and a barrage of banter all the way down Ken High St.[/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Calibri][SIZE=3]The tip here, SuperSim, is get your front wheel straight before you get on the gas again.[/SIZE][/FONT]
