A proper setup will have no problem with aggressive backpedaling and skidding. If your threads aren't stripped (which means you're lucky), then do it the right way this time. Get a lockring wrench (like Park Tool's HCW-5) or Hozan lockring pliers and tighten the lockring down the right way. Also, if you're using a Formula lockring, consider getting a Dura Ace lockring. It is a pretty serious (and some say necessary) upgrade.

If your threads ARE stripped, get the same wheel. Nothing wrong with a DP18+Origin8 branded Formula if you liked it. Check Velomine.com.

1. If you're going at a full sprint, don't try to stop abruptly with locking your legs like that. Your weight is probably mostly on the backwheel, and while that helps you stop faster, it's just a bit too much force (imo) for your cog/lockring to handle. You can do a more leaned forward skid (not excessively so) while trying to slow down your cadence normally to slow down. Basically saying that you need to slow down gradually rather than abruptly.
2. Learn to ted shred. I mean, it's not hard. You just jam your foot between the wheel and seatstay. But it slows you down fastest in my experience with the least amount of effort. You're paying with your shoes to do this though.

Well, I guess that's it. Both of them require you to think ahead and know what's happening around you. Abrupt stops aren't really ideal or suggested on a brakeless fixed gear. In some cases, it might be better to avoid rather than stop. But it's best if you've just thought far enough ahead that you know what's happening and can slow down as necessary.

I don't know if I helped, but good luck.
