If you're pretty crooked then yes because letting off the brake will straighten you up. It's one of those split second decisions that depends right then and there. The multiple times that I've done it I ease up right away and reapply but I was in a position to do so.

I was best in class and almost got a perfect score. I knew how to ride way b4 the class, and thought I would make everyone look like idoits at the class which I did but it was a crap load of fun watching people that haven't even rode a bicycle in their lives, ride a bike. was it worth it? Im 17 and had to take it (NJ law under 18), otherwise I wouldn't, and after experiencing it I still wouldn't but thats only cuz I really would rather spend 300bucks on parts for my bike than having fun watching new riders which I could do on youtube. I rewed the crap out of that 250 tho! Lol

Its the first time it ever happened to me, if it happened without my rear tire sliding to my right and just stayed centered, I would of thought of letting the rear brake go. Idk what the hell happen, the best part was, I was calm as hell. Its starting to hit me even more while the days go by
