I have a tendency to do that sometimes, but I've learned that it's a really good way to get sucked into a corner going way faster than what you're comfortable doing (which could potentially mean setting yourself up for a wreck in that you may panic mid-corner, or whatever). Especially people like Chris Fox here in Austin... all you see before he dives in is *tap tap* on the brake, and then swoosh, he's gone. I scraped pegs on Lime Creek Rd. following him (this is when I still had my F2)... Scared the everloving crap out of me.
