2N. Skidding




Description

This article is from the Mountain Biking FAQ, by Vincent Cheng.

2N. Skidding

-Braking-induced skids are useless. Skidding reduces your stopping power

wheel that is sliding.
-Turning-induced skids are useless as well. If you are skidding, that

not recommended.

trail and it's closed after a winter, you might be the cause.
