I should try that, but I just can't keep my feet on the pedals unless they're "attached" It's the same way with skateboarding. I suck because I can't keep my feet planted, but snowboarding is fine. Go figure.

I'm also getting used to running clipless at the same time. luckily I have the pedals adjusted to the lightest pressure. I can get out pretty easily when I need to.

I'm working on my track stand while I'm out in SS mode. God knows I have enough lights around here for plenty of practice.
