this is bad advice and introduces unwanted steering movements into the mix any time you start sliding or doing anything that isn't exactly what you want.

also, basically everyone who is anyone says to get your body changes done before you do any kind of braking. trying to move your body while you are braking AND putting your weight on your bars is a recipe for a crash.
