Oh and you never put your bike upside down on the ground … Did I say that??? 
Aw, man. Now I’ll never be in the cool kids’ club.
To put a bicycle upside down while repairing it, could possibly damage the bicycle.
It’s that awkward conundrum between not putting the bike upside down to not damage it and not resting the bike on the rear derailleur not to damage it. 
I actually went down a rabbit hole on this subject today, and there appears to be no consensus. Since my bike is made of steel and not cotton candy, I’m confident it will be fine.
Not sure where to put this, but this thread seems right:
I think we can learn a lot from the kid on the right.
That’s what friends are for, instead of having them standing arou d watching, make them hold your bike

Velomanati rules are rubbish. All made up anyway.

20 mins later I got out of shape on a jump. Lost my line. Hit a tree stump. Over the bars. Managed to pause my garmin with my groin!!!
All ok though!!
Great fun!
Still, impressive!
Glad you and groin are doing fine
