not really related, but my favorite thing about skidding is fishtailing around a turn and freaking out the peds who think i am about to crash and cant understand where the noise is coming from.
skipstops are cool but i wouldnt want to replace a hard skid in emergency situations. also that seems scary-- lifting up your back wheel at really high speeds.. ehh i guess i should go practice this new dance craze before i get embarrassed at the bandstand...
