Disclaimer: I'm a hack. BUT, I have two approaches which have increased my joy of what you are describing (mild drop offs):
Thx, that's good advice that I'll study. I am aware that lower seats and weight moved back is good for descending, as I mentioned sometimes we temporarily lower our seats for a descent. The wife has tried a dropper post on a friend's bike and really wants to get one.
I'll check out the GMBN videos, are they a mountain version of the same british guys that do I think it's called GBN? I've seen a bunch of those.
