I was thinking about this comment recently (during a nice long smooth ride) and remembered another tip worth mentioning. Keep a very light touch on the handlebars. Whenever I’m having tracking trouble (F wheel wandering too much) I realize I have more of a death grip on the bars vs a light touch, One reason riding no hands may be easier is you’ll not be annoying the bars with your hands. The front wheel is doing its thing without you. Hmmmmmm. IDK as I cannot ride no hands for very long. I’m still too stunned that I can do it at all.
