Default Pistol squats

Is it incorrect to bend your knee on the way down instead of keeping it more or less straight ahead of you (when I bend my knee, my lower leg is behind me)...looks almost like a ballet movement of some kind.
I've been incorporating this sort of one legged squat in my exercise program for a couple of weeks now....very challenging...I've tried the pistol squat the normal way but can not balance or do a below parallel rep without falling on my ass...

advice appreciated.

About one arm pushups: I've been told that you are only asking to tear up your shoulders doing them.
I still enjoy weights though. I like the sound of the iron clanging around.

Bike riding is great, just beware of the many idiot drivers out there.
