English term or phrase: backing it in

Technique used by motorbike champion :
As he has already said, the rear brake does not do much to
help you slow down but in a tight turn he uses the rear brake to help the bike to turn in more. It is a technique called ‘backing it in’

Thank you for you suggestions.
