Yeah, I don't really know what I was thinking of either - check the time of the post

It just seemed that what I'm doing doesn't seem to be much like how everyone else is talking of skidding, or the descriptions of how to do it I've read online... It's more like I'm jumping up and back from the bike, pulling the rear tire up off the ground. While it's off the ground, I start it rolling backwards then drop it back down - I haven't tried it at any crazy speeds, but it seems to drop me to basically nothing for speed.

It just seemed weird to me I guess... but it works pretty good... now all I have to do is learn to do it in a panic. But I don't panic too often, so it's all good.
