Pump your tires up.
Our clay grass field it muck when wet and a brick when dry. So I taxi the SSSC with the tiny 4" tail wheel off the ground a lot. SO------
One day I forgot to take my left wheel chock out from the front of the left wheel on the SSSC. I'm lazy and didn't want to shut the mighty VW engine down and unbuckle and get out and take the chock out from the front of the tire. So, I locked the brakes up , powered up with full down elevator and released the right brake and made a 90 turn with the left wheel in place. Released the left brake and taxied to the runway.
Then one day I raised the fuselage level and started going in tight circles by riding the left brake with about a 20' dia circle with the inside wheel and kept adding power until the inter wheel was just skipping on the ground and helping to hold it where with left aileron. Kept doing it and got faster and faster until I got dizzy and had to stop.
Flat spin on the ground.
