How would you go about laying your bike down?

So small immovable objects (cables) is a go.

Good, that is my point. There are some instances, though rare, that laying the bike down is a good idea. See that? We're making progress. Everyone else seems to be saying NEVER NEVER NEVER, but you just proved that there are no absolutes.

I knew you'd see it my way.

Dude, seriously...

I undertand what you're saying amj, fully.

But! You will always stop faster while one the bike on the brakes, as opposed to sliding on your ass.


I've looped a bike at 60mph and slid and rolled at least 75 to 100 feet. I could have stopped using my brakes in 1/4 of that.


The bike would have slid much further, but it got stopped by some trees.
