I apologize if my attitude came off as rude. There are many of you that are very helpful and polite. There are also many of you that are condescending elitists that speak to others in a manner that makes them feel better about their own short(pun intended) falls. Thank you everyone for your advice. I think I've got it down now. This whole thread was just me trying to figure out what was an ideal way to stop. I am not physically unable to perform any of these recommendations such as coasting with a foot out and all the other things mentioned. I just thought asking would be better than falling a dozen times to learn on my own.

To the guy who has never fallen in his life, good for you, congratulations, please check your browser menu for an internet cookie. Feel better?
