    How to get people behind you to slow down at the races

    Only works when it's wet. It's a 3-step process, but the 2nd two steps happen simultaneously.

    First, don't pay any attention to where the water is on your warm up lap.

    Two/Three: Pretend you're going to crash while splashing everyone else behind you with water.

    How to video:

    Thanks for the "how to" description and vid. Lol.
    I got to witness this first hand. I was the bike you passed and then sprayed with water and nearly fall down in front of.
    Your trickery worked!
    I also nearly had a high side in 9 on my second lap. Good times indeed!
    Thanks for sharing.

    I think I have it on video. I think I was just behind Harold on the inside. If you put your leg down then that was you.
    I'll see if I can cut it today and post it.
