The first time I rode down Wynose was scary. I let off the brakes early and let the speed build up. On the long straight narrow section just off the top I started getting a bit nervous about the cars coming up, so I applied the brakes. As soon as I applied the brakes hard the rear wheel started skipping in the air very time I hit a bump. So I knew that all I could do was slow down rather than stop. Luckily I managed to get to the bottom without needing to stop.
