When I was watching the Olympic mountain biking, I noticed an interesting thing- when the guys were doing sharp turns on a downhill- at the bottomn of the hill, they hit the front brake just hard enough to almost stop the bike, and cause the rear wheel to come up- then they shifted their weight, and brought the back end of the bike around the corner.
It was cool!

probably didn't decrobe it well enough- but it was a beautiful thing!
