[QUOTE="Wolf, post: 116024, member: 19358"] On my xr I use the rear brake all the time. Not as much to slow down but to change the handling of the bike. Through woops I tend to drag the rear brake just enough to make the bike track a little better. In tight turns with ruts I use the rear brake even under acceleration to drop the rear end right into the rut. For turns with berms I use it to force the front wheel into the ground a little harder. Now, I am NNOOO expert, but I watched some other thumper riders do that and really like it. It also mellows out the brutal engine braking. [/QUOTE]
