One technique to avoid killing peds was suggested by Aaron (who is on the
European ride right now, along with my bro). He is not the most
experienced rider, so this may be something he came up with due to that,
or it may be a good idea for anyone who senses he is about to lose (not
loose) control: He knocks it right down. He swacks it over like a big
Weeble that doesn’t come back up. I saw him do this and asked him about
it, and he said he does this to avoid having it smash into things in
front of him.
I have never had that problem. When I sense an unplanned dismount in my
immediate future, I grab that front or back and jump for the ground; when
my feet land, I pick up the Coker as fast as I can (otherwise you hurt
yourself).
