"Strait Out" No Hander

This no-hander method is very different from the regular (above) one. Instead of lifting your arms straight up with the bike in a vertical position, you take your arms straight out to the sides with the bike in a horizontal position. This method is a bit more difficult, because the bike tends to nose-dive when you take your arms off in this manner. So, when you take off, lean back and pinch the seat with your knees. Leaning back will shift your weight to the rear of the bike, balancing things out nicely. Pinching the seat with your knees keeps the bike straight and controllable. Next, take both arms off evenly, at the same time. Hopefully, that will keep your bars from rotating too much when you let go. Finally, after you get your arms stretched straight out, pull them in, grab & straighten the bars, let go of the seat, and prepare for landing.
