I know what powersliding is, just wondering if there wasn't
a mix up. But actually locking up a tire to get the bike
twisted for corner entry is a serious technique? How does
that work? I mean for powersliding the bike will eventually
catch up with the sliding wheel, slowly regaining traction
to keep it under control. But braking until the rear wheel
gets into a skid requires more energy at higher speed, so
when slowing down there will not be a slow regain of
traction, opposite to powersliding. Since the footpedal
is very hard to operate subtly with your boot and since
the unweighted rear wheel is very sensitive, I can't see
how to do such an exercise while regaining control (and
not highsiding it). So how does it work?
