it doesnt make sense to me when ppl tell me to "lift" my rear wheel up.. i mean.. if one was locking up the wheel with the leg on the back stretching and locking it... wouldnt that put more pressure DOWNwards rahter than up?..

i never lift up my back wheel to skid. but to lock up the momentum of the cranks and shift my weight forward.
