I clearly remember a friend giving me good advice when I got my first set of clips.
"find a flat grass field, and practice stopping _then_ unclipping. Anyone can unclip before braking, but you'll need to be able to do it after you've stopped for the hazard."
Did I take this advice? Hell to the no. I rode up Signal Hill, then toppled sideways into a gorse bush at 0km/hr like a real mountain biker.
