this happen to anyone alot?
equal pressure on both wrists...you don't need to lock your elbows...kinda let your weight hang from your shoulders...arching you back will put more weight on the rear tire so you stop faster...leaning forward will put more weight on the front wheel so you drag your skid out longer...
