briley: Welcome to the forums. By slip to you mean skid - leaving a black mark on the road behind you?
Also, are you using the front brakes at all? The safest way to slow down is to slowly and smoothly apply both brakes.
Give it a try on flat ground until you get used to this braking method.
Good Luck!
Zack
