i reckon the mash guys ride low gear ratios thats why it looks like they're going so fast + with the hills you need to be able to break easier.
i reckon it depends on the tyre too, i've got a gator skin on at the mo and on a dry day if you skid you stop fast cause of traction but it can be too sticky sometimes. i was riding a cheap tyre recently and thats was too easy to skid.
