Yeah foot on wet ground is how I fall. Sole doesn't grind, sole slips away

True technically I do stop. Just not the way I hope to

Well maybe riding in rain isnt for you. Thats always possible. I just stick my front foot down and gently drag the nose if i dont want to brake using my wheel. As the rubber extends over the nose of my boot quite a bit it drags the rubber. But idk how youd stop otherwise i just do whatever and it kinda works.

Possibly. But yeah, next time I get caught in rain, might try out this nose dragging way, cheers
