Skid Stopping Damages?

Hey guys, new to the site and new to riding a fixed gear. I was learning to skid stop just for the heck of it and was wondering what kind of harm I could possibly do to my bike while skidding? Besides wearing out tires and my knees, does it wear out or put an inordinate amount of stress of crucial parts? Thanks.

Btw the day after performing skids, I rode the next day and really cranked on my pedals. I noticed that I had an initial slip in the crank mechanism any clues as to what this could be? Is this a result of skidding?

i'm such a noob.
