DJ, nice...you came in where I almost did.

OP, my first time on clipless was 14 years ago. I was spinning around in my front yard on my MTB, tried to go over a rock and was stopped by too much weight on the rear-couldn't clear the rock. I paniced and forgot to twist my heel out and fell.

I'm sure I had a couple of others like that, but I can't remember. They're so natural to me now I feel naked without them. Good decision.
