The frame is your most stable point. You can hang your foot in the air when you
want to get trickier.

I started from a moving position, pulled the seat out, and went. If you hold the
seat close to your body you’ll be more stable, and later you can hold the seat
out front. I go at a relaxed speed when I do this. I also try to keep pretty
good posture, and don’t bend my knees more than necessary.
