I am terrible at riding no-handed...even though I used to do it all the time as a kid. That's why it was such a surprise when I was able to ride the 16" folder no handed when I first got it. However, after tightening up the steering mast and brace, the steering doesn't move as freely as it used to. It actually seems to calm some twitchyness, but it makes riding no handed an even bigger no-no for me.
