super dumb question

yes, it's a dumb question, so mock all you like, but please answer whilst you mock...

is there an "optimal gear" for skidding on your fixed gear bicycle?

i currently have 48/16 and i can't seem to skid, no matter how far i lean over my handlebars, i can't seem to get my legs to stop the wheels moving (i don't have brakes).

either it's my technique, i'm weak, or it's the gearing.

assuming my technique is good and i'm not weak, i'm wondering if my gearing doesn't lend itself to skids.

please and thank you.
