yup, definatly take it easy, i almost had an off a little while ago just when it started raing, so it was really slippery. although i just had a good idea. a lot of the time when i am about to slide out, i normally sam the ground and it helps a lot and alot of the times it has saved me from going down, although my foot has hurt a tad afterwards. why not try using something like roller skates??
about to go down, use your left or right foot, keep on going and use the force of your leg to get you back up right while you can still keep going!
DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME!!! just a thought from a mindless fool.
there has been a couple of bad offs down here recently as well. one death and two seriously injured. im kinda glad i havnt got the bike on the road with weather like this.
