Anyone give me some tips on skidding?

Ive had my fixie for about a month now and riding it is like second nature almost already....mainly because I have to ride everywhere I go and Im a busy guy. Anyways I really want to learn how to do some skidding so I can eventually take off my front brake. I try to use it as little as I can but sometimes I gain alittle too much speed for "dead legging" to a stop and have to give it a squeeze. I understand the general idea of skidding, unweight your back wheel by leaning forward and kind of jerk your peddles back, but I cant figure out how it works when Im on my bike. I try to lean forward and push back on my pedals and it just jolts me through another rotation and does nothing. Anyone have any tips on how I can get through this? Thanks!
