We got some snow a couple of days ago and I decided to put the E-brake to work - I've never done it with the VX. I got two results: Once in deeper stuff I just went straight. But the next time I was in shallower stuff and it slid sideways real nice. It may be hard to pull a controlled cookie but I imagine a full throttle surge after heading into that type of slide would be hella cool with the wheel cranked full turn! I hope to try it again next snowfall!
