Yes, as part of some fun it is good :D

And it's because of the fun element of sliding that whenever it happens accidentally, my only thought really is "slide, k, no worries." Well, in all honesty no real thoughts enter my head about it, I'm too focused on the ride, just that the odd accidental twitch/slide is perfectly acceptable to me, and doesn't lead to all out panic :)
