How to fall off a Coker
All of this dialogue about planning your landing during a Coker UPD is good I suppose when you have warning that you are going to go down. On pavement I've done the knee gaurd/wrist gaurd slide and I can remember one fall in particular when I had the time to aim for the grass. I was able to make it with the left half of my body while the right half got the sidewalk. Alot of the time you can land on your feet and the run out works well. There's also the attempted run out that turns into a dive/slide when your feet just can't catch up. Then there's the fall that gives no warning, etc., etc., etc....

How to fall off a Coker
30 years of rock climbing has taught me this: a fall happens so fast that there's no time to think. However, if you have already programmed your bean to perform a certain maneuver, like rolling, you will probably do just that. So while I can't provide the best technique for falling onto the street at speed, I can promise you that unless you already have a technique in mind, with the intention of trying to perform it, you will almost certainly react instinctively -- and come what may. Visualizing a fall and how you'd like to execute this or that move will go far in actually doing same if and when you go down.

Staying on, however, is not always so easy .
