Okay, so now what?
Seems like the red ones really help you stop, while the blue ones you should only use in an emergency. All that aside, I had my buddy riding his fix for the first time and showed him how to skid on the gravel trails in the park (Hermann, for you Htowners). He then proceeded to skid on command after that. Typical, I go fixed all on my own and it takes me a two weeks and a rainy day to learn how to skid. Keep it up, it's like getting to third base when you get it down.
Once you get skipping down, you'll rarely ever skid unless you're showing off. It took me two tires to get skidding out of my system, now I just skip
