Anyone here enjoy to bomb hills. Me and a buddy hit up a huge parking garage today and honestly at 25ish mph on slick ground aitkens lose their stick :-(. It was like a slip and slide lol. Any tips on controlling speed or what to look out for?

Take your hands off the bars, and pour chicken blood over your head while chanting to your choice of random pagan gods. It'll work...
But seriously, if your tires aren't gripping, you might want to consider different tires.

I don't haul ass down stuff that isn't reasonably straight because I hate road rash.
