Thats true. Forgot to mention. If you want to skid in the saddle, just lift up the back wheel a little. Also, by mass, I meant like once you are pushing youe weight towards the front, even if you are seated, I would think it should be easier to get the back wheel up a little.
Am I not making any sense? Haha.
