I crashed today - this is why you should buy full gear.

Or don't go blasting balls out 190 into the first corner(s)......

Right... Just the second? Third?

Great advice, I would still say make sure your tires are warmed up. Really anyone riding to moco will have warmed up tires but if its early in the am or your bike has sat for a while I would spend a little extra time making sure that they are ready to go before you jump in and just take it easy on the first corner.

Street tires will perform horribly if cold... They do need to be "warmed up" in order to be aggressive on them, just like track tires. Because you dont heat them up universally like race tires you CAN have cold edges and that can cause big problems, especially on a colder road. The quickest way to completely heat up a street tire is through rapid acceleration and deceleration in a straight line. It is a myth that going side to side heats them up and for motorcycle tires (because of their construction) it does not help in "warming".

Before dropping into the canyons I do go side to side. Probably more for piece of mind but my goal is to remove any debris that as collected and stuck to the outer edge of the tire, especially if leaving a parking lot.

A normal ride to the canyons and your tires will be completely warm enough to have fun in the canyons. Modern street tires are amazing and will not put you down for no reason. How worn-out they are is of course a game changer. As soon as my tires get to the wear bars I'm on the phone making an appt for new rubber. Go much further than that and you're taking chances. Anyway, no use arguing this so do as you like and I'll do as I like.
