Small item you probably already know, but worth mentioning while talking about emergency braking:
Squeeze, then SQUEEZE.
In other words, don't grab all of the brake at once. Load the front to squish out the contact patch and make it bigger, then really get into it. That gives you maximum traction.
If you grab the brake too aggressively, you can break traction and lose the front.
This can happen very fast, but should be deliberate.
