also i think part of the point of trail braking is to have weight on the front tire so you can do a quick turn-in... otherwise if you let go of the front brakes completely before turning in the front has much less traction and when you twist the bars, you can feel it slide for a split second before it catches and turns in... if the forks are down it wont slide before it starts turning.
