I had the opposite problem. Decades of dirt and MX....and then try to put your foot down into an asphalt corner and kick the rear end out. I had to glue my feet to the pegs.

Definitely some techniques that I wasn’t aware of. Usually I just slow down a lot and cope with things. But this shows that that’s not always necessary.
