But "sick" is obviated by just the drilling for brake mounts. Therefore ... a sick is because there is not only no choice to have braked but there was never a potential for a choice. It still seems to me that identical skids would be identically sick.
Or do I have it wrong and it's a more like a fashion statement, the appearance while skidding rather than the skid itself?
