Gear ratio effect on stopping/skidding

yeah, get the gear inches down, plus watch some skids comps on youtube and check out the body position - theyre like as far out in front of the bars as they can be, while still touching pedal. i must admit, its a strange thing throwing your weight like your trying to face plant, but its the way, er, forward .

indeed the way foward. if you actually want to stop, lean back after commencing skid or spin wheel in reverse etc..
