try that little trick with your bike, and pull the bottom of the bike in the oppisite direction. I am no engineer, or anything even close. But if you pull the bottom out from under something that is balancing on a center point (or something like that) it will fall faster. When they flick the bike from one side to the other they are steering away from the corner, and moving their weight to the inside. This would not be the same as something you just let go of and watch how slowly it fell over.

Now, does anybody remember what it is they are trying to talk about here?
I don't understand (not very educated in this area) why the reverse spinning brakes would be good or bad.
I understand that lighter wheels make a bike handle better, because they are easier to move around, and they don't take as much effort to move.
