I don't want to sound mean,but if anyone posts about how they got hit or wiped out while riding no-handed,I WILL LAUGH AT YOU. Seriously,I don't see the allure. The majority of folks that see you doing it won't be thinking you're cool,they'll be thinking you're an idiot. And I don't know what your traffic conditions are like,but here in DC riding no-handed in traffic is exactly like playing Russian roulette. Not that that stops people from doing it,or from riding longboards down some of the big hills in traffic.
