The first couple rides, I realized that my instincts, when entering slippery or loose stuff, were to do things that would load the front even more - braking, standing, pushing on the bars, trying to steer, etc - and that was just wrong. Now, sitting back, unloading the front tire and just letting it happen... just works. Cool.
