Re: Tipping to turn

most of the time while bike I tip to turn, heck sometimes I even counter steer to control the drift.

but in biking there are time where I have to point my handlebars where I need to go very much like skis. There are also time where I slide a tire(usually rear) on purpose to redirect myself. Every good to great MTBer knows this trick and how to use it to go faster. Basically every MTBer or Skier who can rally on steep imposing non groomed terrain knows how to slip a ski/bike and knows how to do it better than jsut about everyone else.

BTW bikers with less confidence than me will have many less turn they can just tip and turn.
