Gear ratio effect on stopping/skidding

I would say that is only really helpful if you are skidding for fun/distance/looks/whatever, to stop you want to keep your weight as central as possible, rather than skid for as long as possible, which is what will happen if you move your weight that far forward, but everything else there is good advice.

True - it was really tips to start a skid, as that seemed to be the problem!
