That is cool too Andrew. Practice your roll off as much as your roll on. We try to never just chop throttle on the track though. When running down the back straight on a supersport with a pinned throttle, rolling off will transfer some weight forward before the brakes take over fully loading the front. Understanding and taking advantage of that initial loading is one of the skills of making the most of really aggressive braking. If you roll off too slowly, it doesn't load the front as much. Each bike can be different though, take a big vtwin vs some race tuned machines. The amount of engine braking may be different and load the front lesser or greater depending on the bike.
