    I had one coming around the back of an airport. I forgot about the open stretch behind the run way and the crosswind caught me at about 30 which was enough to send me into the middle of the road! Luckily its a quiet road there!

    pressing one or both legs against the top tube is good, i tend to do this whenever not pedaling on a fast descent, it helps damp the system and lower the chance of wobble in the first place

    This is good advice, works for me on fast descents. I pin my right leg to the top tube.

    I used to suffer a lot with this a few years back, however changing the stem length and having one knee against the top tube cured it for me.

    As mentioned all ready do not stiffen up and stay relaxed on the descent.
