Bombing in the rain

Just a general yes or no question (already checked silverfish)
But is it easier to get wobbles when bombing in the rain?
today i went for a bomb and got wobbles at 50 kms - great indication that i need to tighten my trucks.
But i've bombed at that speed before on dry roads and never got a wobble.

wobbles are in the head, shouldn't matter if its in the wet or in the dry.
as Gabe once said "Wobbles,What Wobbles,NO Wobbles"

But in reality you cant really ride out a wobble. I'd took into practise what i've read about how its all in the head and you dont let the wobble get the best of you. Stay calm, put more weight on the front truck and air brake. Good quote btw.

Shouldn't be any different, wet or dry.
Generally in the wet you go slower because of the extra resistance of water on your wheels.
And you can ride out of wobbles, whatcha talking about? Not everyone crashes.

I ment ride out as in past a certian speed to regain control. Egs. woobles at 50kms then ride to stability at 60kms? if you can control it.

riding in the rain actually causes leprosy, which may have something to do with speed wobbles.

yea, thats really harsh man.... uncalled for
if you dont think about your instability, and all you focus on is your line or your tuck, or your girlfriend or whatever works for you, then you could be riding on lava and not get speed wobbles..
