yeah, i ride standing and out on the horns in traffic. i gives really nice control and keeps me in easy skidding position if needs be. i don't even know how people can skid without having their hands in that "thumbs-in" position. i've been seeing a lot of track bikes recently with no brakes and flat bars cut to about 10-12 inches in width... just enough for grips... i have no idea how you could skid in that position... there's no leverage. i guess it depends a lot on geometry, tire slickness, and gear-ratio tho.
