Of course, sometimes you don’t want too much grip when turning. If you’re approaching a sharp turn with insufficient traction, you can slam the rear brake, swing your hips, lower your body, and force the rear wheel to break free from the snow or mud. You just need to get used to the sensation of the rear wheel sliding. When performing a hard drift, it’s best to keep your body low and relaxed, maintaining your center of gravity over the bike as you lean it.
If you’re biking fast on a single-lane path and a turn is approaching quickly, you may not have time to drop your outside foot. In that case, simply keep the cranks level, and if you need to spring forward, lower your heels and keep your knees loose and extended. This position allows you to quickly shift the bike from one side to another while keeping your body aligned with the bike, just like an obstacle skier.
