I missed this one earlier but now am chuckling quite a bit. Earlier I was asked to post a picture to "prove" a point so I'll ask the same:
Show me a picture where you are braking from the drops where you maintain a secure grip using the index and middle fingers on the bar. And no pretending you can brake with one finger effectively bombing down a dangerous steep mountain descent as was dramatically described.
