This one.
Is it a bad idea to do it with a rear rack installed? Or did I just not do it right?
I probably have a nice bruise on my leg.

i do an easier variation. i go nohanded, grab the nose of the saddle with one hand and jump off. you land normally and dont lose control of your bike. start slow then work up speed. really no use for this one except its easier to do at high speeds, so if ur in a hurry you dont have to waste time slowing down, or skid.

there really shouldnt be a thread this long on it. just go out and try it, its probably the easiest "trick" you'll learn. im a total klutz with the inner ear balance of a new born, and i got this down on my 1st or 2nd try. compare that to track standing which took me forever.
