Anyone trying to get the guy behind to overshoot by slowing down is putting himself in a very bad situation. 1 on 1 it might work, but if you have a pair of guys trying to get you, while you watch and laugh at the leader who shot by, the trailer will usually nail you. This tactic can easily be defeated with a high yo-yo, or a horizontal scissors. Also, putting yourself in a situation where you are decreasing your energy state versus your opponent's energy state is very bad and not recommended.

But if you are in a tight spot and have buddies to assist you, this can be effectively pulled off to get rid of that pesky horsefly trying to get you.
