You know I've been on the Isle of Man TT circuit, and been pillion with a top racer. So I have experienced 'proper' movement of a bike with someone who who has amazing control. Also I was a shit pillion and affected the handling of the bike from being tense. Suspect the video of me stepping off the bike shaking and swearing.
In the UK ron haslem race school, do a day on braking with a 125. Off roading, do you ever use the front brake?
Would love to do a day on one those hydraulic bike rigs to practice loss of traction.

I love throwing it sideways on dirt but still fully shit my pants if the rear lets go under power on dry tarmac. Nature's way of telling me I'm having a bit too much fun.
I would posit that braking hard on tarmac is a skill that can only be learnt by braking very hard on tarmac. A lot. Until you can confidently lift the back end, without locking the front. That's what I did anyways and I fell off quite a lot in the process.
