I really would like to know how you learned to skid so quickly form the sounds of it?! It took me months and now I can barely do it .. and I thought my legs were strong squatting immense weight in the gym.. yet I can barely skid

I've never done videos before, but I'm thinking I might chronicle my fixed gear journey on YouTube. So many experts out there post videos on how to track stand, skid, etc... but they've forgotten what it's like to be a beginner. "Beginner's mind" is everything when trying to teach a novice audience a new skill. I'm no expert, but maybe that's the ticket.
