Cornering Etiquette

Some riders unclick one foot while cornering going doing hill and slide their bike to turn faster. Is this a matter of personal riding technique or do you find this offensive? I personally do not conden anyone who does it, but I prefer to be click all the time to improve my riding skills.

it's funny how the gravity oriented crowd have come up with new names for skidding to try to justify it, like "falling in" and "cutty". if it displaces alot of dirt, it's probably a skid, and is wrong for all the same reasons a skid is. as someone else said, on a purpose built, restricted use(no hiking, unidirectional) trail, have at it, whatever is fastest. but on public lands it's a nono.
