Does anyone use the rear brake while trail braking? Or, more accurately, does anyone successfully go faster/not crash while using the rear brake while trail braking? I'm not at that skill level, yet, but that is something I've been thinking about...

I've started using the rear brake more and more this year. It's a fantastic tool mid corner and at exit when the bike is running wide. I have a lot more work to do to be more proficient with it, but for sure I'm using it these days.
