Did you get back on the gas? You're supposed to get on the gas especially in downhill turns. Even to the point of over braking for the turn just so that you can get back on the gas.

It sounds like you almost made it.
I'm not sure which tire lost grip, I'd assume the rear.

I don't think I did get back on the gas, at least not in time for it to matter. I was so fixated on slowing down.

I guess I still need to work on my braking. I was pretty close to making it though.
