Well I am by now means the worlds best rider (be it street or dirt) but I find using to engine breaking going downhill especially on anything even remotely technical to be a bit herky jerky and more cumbersome than helpful. I prefer to descend in neutral or occasionally pull in the clutch & rely on my brakes to negotiate most downhills. All engine breaking or trying to go too slow usually does is cause me to get off balance or lose too much momentum & crash. Most fast guys I know say to look ahead and embrace momentum to roll over or through things & when in doubt throttle out. But thats just my two cents when dirt riding.
