he comes to leesburg bikefest and puts on a clinic it works pretty good,
I use some of the techniques now, friction zone and rear brake together, head and eyes over shoulder, dip left to go right and u turn, they really work.

Here in WV it is unlawful to have a sign that spins (like the old Golf service station signs) saying it is a distraction. Yet they allow these hidious wheels, I love me home but this state has some of the most idiot politicians on the planet.
