Locking up your front to avoid locking the rear would be a very bad thing. Releasing the rear while misaligned can mean bad things too, but you don't really lose braking power when locking it. Also remember to straighten up and don't brake while leaning/turning.

Locking up the front won't happen if you brake properly
