Once this is done rotate the bike around foot before proceeding down the hill.
Seems to work well

I was about to suggest a pole option of "both feet safely on the ground, walking the bike around the corner"

actually to fully describe my spectrum of skills it'd also need "both feet (and bike) above head, nose cutting furrow thru corner"

Outside pedal down. It is not a preference, but is a fact that when the outside pedal is down the weight distribution on the tyre gives better traction.

This I know because I was told by a tyre engineer. Plus when I was an instructor at a motocross school many eons ago we actually spent a lot of time studying this and did a videotape analysis ... well, OK - it was Super8 film back then

According to the LTSA, your not allowed to have a sidecar on your bicycle . Makes sense I guess. Was going to look up the law, but http://www.legislation.govt.nz appears to be down .
