it is a little terrifying at first, I can only compare it to being like commiting to a big dirtjump for the first time, once you get used to it though and can do it at speed and round corners your control at regular speeds will be so much better because of the confidence you've built.
this is just how I got it sussed... worst moment I've had is coming unclipped on one foot at high speed. very glad i keep my unfashionable brake on cos it has saved me a couple of times.
