it!

So, what I SAID and what I actually DO when dismounting are different. The instructions I gave are the instructions you will get from most all coaches. However, I NEVER unclip with my left foot first. My dismount is unclip right, right leg over and behind, coast into barrier/hill/obstacle, unclip left foot and dismount. I KNOW I will get out of my pedal every time (have them set on lightest tension possible). A slight hip rotation will also help ensure unclipping when required. This works for ME, but may not work for everyone.

Wow, you've never had a problem unclipping the left even in the mud? What kind of clips do you use?
