Thank God it's not just me!
And no, I don't try to rotate my way out of the stuff. I can see where the tip pressure is important. There's a certain amount of "backing off" or "shying away" from poor conditions that always puts me in the back seat. I do recognize that I and try to jank the feet back to get back into position.
About Max's speed comment. Yes, I do remember a day a couple of years ago when speed did provide the needed energy to make things happen. I forgot about that. On the other hand, there is not so much room on narrow NE trails where the cost of error at speed is low.
