The point I hate is when your 'expediting' a backtrack in a hurry with a strong tailwind
One hard and fast rule: DON'T TAXI FAST with STRONG TAILWIND in a tailwheel aircraft.
Many years ago, one of our group was told to expedite. He tried - and groundlooped. The undercarriage failed - at the runway intersection.
I have the stick near neutral, and respond as needed with forward stick.
