Troie, you said that you wanted to slow down fast enough to not hit a bush, boulder whatever, in one of your early posts. Later you justified your use of the word "fishtailing" by saying that you were simply causing the tei to "hydroplane for lack of a better word" across the dirt. Maybe its just me, but if I wanted to slow down fast and avoid something, I wouldn't try to hydroplane my rear tire, hydroplaning won't help you slow down at all. And skidding as well isnt the best way to slow down, it takes much less room to not lock up and use both brakes, assuming you have both. That is part of the reason cars have anti-lock brakes, a more controlled(to avoid hitting things) faster way to stop.
