The key to skidding is practise, you have to find the perfect body position on your bike to get it too work. Took me awhile but now I can hold it for pretty much as long as I have speed and a safe place to do it. The same thing with going downhill you have to figure out just how fast you can spin for how long. Just work up hills in progressions, I find Russel Hill Road works well because it provides curves, a one way street, quiet area and a good run off so you can go as fast or as slow as you want.
Anyone riding today??
And Keith you going to be open? I need to come chat with you about a few things
