Aparently some of us are more flexible than the others, because I can do the foot over the top tube thing as well. Admittedly I've almost fallen on my face a couple of times while doing this. If your foot doesn't clear the top tube and your center of gravity is already on the other side of the bike, there's no chance of recovery.
