Sharp Turns

[Becky]

Do you WANT to prevent sliding? Or is what you want, to learn to control it?

This is just my opinion, but I think it's all about controlling the slide. It's going to happen sooner or later, so learning how to control it is a good idea and goes a long way towards skill development. Kind of like driving in snow- you're going to skid at some point, but learning how to steer through it makes you more comfortable in those conditions.

For me, sliding through a turn without falling is the biggest confidence boost ever! And knowing that I can hold a bike up under those conditions makes me more confident on my road bike (especially commuting!).
