I find that no matter what type of skid I'm in, if I just back kick hard on the pedals, stopping will ensue pretty quickly. Just throw your weight to make adjustments. But I wear straps, so that makes a big difference. The real key for me was knowing what part of the crank rotation was my friend. There is this one sweet spot that works magic, I'm telling you, whether or not my jewels are on the stem. Dipping your body as if you are going to sit on the top tube works too.(I run 48/16=80)
