One thing I discovered recently is a way to take a steep switchback that has no berm. At this point, I am already on my front and rear brakes. I can get my front wheel around. But I need to skid the rear a bit. Rather than lose speed by increasing the rear brake, I modulate the front brake by releasing it slightly and maintaining the rear. The slight increase in acceleration gives you a very controllable rear wheel skid if you are already braking pretty hard.

As long as you’re not purposefully damaging the trail then go have fun. Nothing wrong with sliding corners. If you notice some trail damage go do a trail maintenance day every now and again.i volunteer 2 days a season towards trail maintenance

Ugh. Manuals and BH's are NOT beginner skills. 🤦‍♂ Most important are static balance, turning and braking. Hinging hips and body position.
