any skipping how to's?
I actually found skipping easier than skidding. And ive found it to be more efficient for stopping that skidding. Stand up off your saddle just slightly, lock up your legs when cranks are horizontal, then stomp on your back foot while leaning forward (not balls2stem. Just push as if you wanted to jump up off your pedals). The momentum should lift your rear wheel off the ground.
I find it easier to do with my strong leg at the back.
Anyways I'm not sure if any of that makes sense. Last thing I want is for someone to eat it bad trying to follow any of my badly written advice
