well... I'll just say how I learned to skid. Started in the dirt ally next to my house just standing up and bracing my leg on the top tube and just locking my legs at low low low speeds. Then tried it on the dry street same idea. Just relearned how to cuz it was raining and I tried the balls to the stem thing and I could go for twice as long. I think its better to learn that later tho. Oh and try it at different speeds. The lower the speed the easier its is FOR ME. Maybe its better for you to learn at a high speed. Just get your ass out there and try different ****. You'll get it sooner or later.
