With practice, over a period of time, skill at
controlled sliding can be developed. The
terrain should be chosen carefully before
attempting such maneuvers, since both
stability and control are reduced. Bear in
mind that sliding maneuvers should al-
ways be avoided on extremely slippery
surfaces such as ice, since all control may
be lost.
