skidding with a big ol crank...

Let me start off by saying I have a front brake on my fixie and I absolutely know the issues involved with skidding (both on the bike and rider), but I do feel like I should know how to skid as another emergency method.

having said that, I know what I am supposed to do with really getting up forward over the bars and pushing down on the back foot and unweighting the front end, but with my setup I just can't skid. As far as I know it is tougher with a larger crank/cog ratio but is there something that could make my life a tad easier?

I appreciate any input. Thanks guys,
J
