I was riding in the lomonds the other day and was practicing these down the descent.

How far can you hold a lock up. I reckon I managed 1km.

attempting that usually results in 'stoppie to face plant' for me.

7km, at least. With one foot unclipped and blindfolded.

You can maintain a locked front wheel for 1 km? How steep and loose is your hill? Sure you don't mean 1m?

do you find it easier with or without a helmet, what is the risk assessment for such tricks and stunts?
