I'm interested in getting my roller skills up to good shape.

In particular, I want to be able to ride rollers no-handed and one-legged with clip ins/outs.

Any recommendations on how to "progress" from basic roller riding to this stage?

I can already ride rollers in the drops/hoods with both hands no problem and can ride one-handed (albeit with concentration.)

Stay close to the wall while you try each one. Then move away from the wall...

Seriously. Try changing from drops to hoods, then sitting up. If you are doing it right, you'll find out pretty fast.

Just like learning to ride no-hands on the road, you have to commit. Sit up. If you're nervous and try to "hover" near the bars, you aren't going to get it. Riding no-handed with a lower posture is an advanced skill; get your weight back over the rear wheel and you'll find it's fairly easy.

And if it's not obvious, make sure you're spinning a relatively easy gear at a high cadence when you're first learning this. A bigger gear will make the front end of the bike sway, which will at best freak you out, at worst cause you to ride off the side of the rollers.

No hands is actually easier than one-hand.
