So I'm just about at my front door, went onto the curb, there was someone walking next to the stairs that lead up to my apartment building so I was on the far side near the edge of the curb, I slow down, unclip my left leg and then realized that since I'm next to this high curb that my foot would actually land on the side of the street, which is 4" lower.
I realize I'm going to fall over to my left so I lean to my right. Then I realized "oh damn, my right foot's still clipped in." And started falling over to my right, I yanked my right foot and next thing I know, I'm leaned over and standing on my right foot, perfect dismount! Didn't even realize what I was doing, subconsciously manged to yank my foot out at the right angle to unclip as I was falling.

Me: 2, Clipless: 1

The battle wages on... and next time, I'll be more prepared than ever.
