rear brake is a compliment to your main brake: the front brake. ease into braking. the bike has to settle into the suspension and compress the tire before you have a whole lot of traction so it's immensely important to brake progressively. slamming on the brakes will lock up the tire, but gradually applying full brake over a second or two will not. the front brake has enough braking power to make the bike do a front flip if you ease into it without losing traction. its nice to use both brakes normally but if i'm in an emergency, i use engine brake instead of rear brake. harder to **** up the traction.
