Good work, gents. Unfortunately, only Ricky got points so far. I explained why, along with scorecards

0 points. Sorry Judd, no bike visible in picture. Next time: daylight, a flash, and/or arm extension operation?

Here was my first (see earlier thread photo hands free on snow, apparently disallowed – #thestupidrules) attempt at a traditional “danger panda” photo. More like #warypanda.
You can’t tell by the pic, but I am hands free. My right foot is on the down tube; my left foot is still on the pedal. I did look at the camera, but the shutter delay caught me looking away (could really use one of those bursting cameras)
Good learning process, though. You need a downhill grade so that when you stop pedaling your bike maintains its speed. I liked the sections on the W&OD (eastbound) between Shreve & Citizen’s Bridge and Great Falls to Little Falls. Nice & straight with a little downgrade. The tricky part would be to go when it’s not busy; you want the trail to yourself.
I was able to go hands free, one foot on the top tube and one on the down tube later on this same ride, but I didn’t have my camera in my hand. Getting that second foot up on the top tube is going to be the scariest part.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]14033[/ATTACH]0 points. Even though you had the foot on the top tube, you weren’t looking up at the camera (which invalidated the pic). If you were, that would’ve been 3 points right there!
[ATTACH=CONFIG]14039[/ATTACH]Steve, yes, I have found that I have to be going faster – and usually downhill – to do the feet on the top tube thing. I’m sure you can do it since you can ride a unicycle (I can’t, I’ve tried).

Slowly improving. Still gotta figure out the camera thing, though.
vvill whined that my left hand cannot be seen. However, one can clearly see the left handlebar has no hand on it. And you can see the shadow of the right handlebar behind the bike, so you can tell I’m not steering with my foot or something.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]14204[/ATTACH]I can infer that your left hand is not on the bar, and with a little zooming, I can see your eye looking into the camera.
1 point!

Unfortunately, if you were steering with your foot, you would have received an extra point (+1 for foot off the pedal).

No one has posted any crash pics? Truly disappointing.
