[QUOTE="user 4386, post: 567657, member: 4386"] Much easier in automatics, but you can train yourself to "drive through the brakes" in a manual - it takes a bit longer to master but becomes an automatic response with time. It is a standard technique, suggest a beginners 4x4 course at a club (you will learn more than just that as well). It gives total descent control, and you do not touch your brakes (it consists of keeping brakes constant from the beginning as you go over the edge, and using accelerator only to control descent - you start at the top with the brakes just holding, and use the accelerator to proceed downhill, when you feel it is too fast you simply ease up on the accelerator - the brakes are kept constant all the time). Wheels cannot lock. An essential skill in the mountains. You don't want to lock anything, unless you want to slide - this technique keeps the wheels going around, even if ever so slowly. [/QUOTE]
