yup, if i'm stopping quickly and there's any proper roadie douchebags riding the same stretch trying to draft, riding too close etc then i always do a tiny hop skid to wake them up. it's nothing to do with scrubbing speed as I use my brake for that but if they're not paying attention chances are they'll just crash back into me and they tend to shit themselves and grab a handful of brake when you do it.
