I lost my virginity today!
Skidding virginity that is! Figured it was a good time as I never put the front brake lever back on after switching bars and stems this weekend. From what I could remember reading on learning how to skid I shifted my weight forward and kinda rested my thighs against the tops of my bars and then pushed back on my right leg just as the pedal was coming up from the 6 o'clock position. Wow! That seemed fairly easy. I did it a few more times and then tried it with a bit more speed. Almost got bucked from my bike twice. I guess I have to apply more pressure to lesson the bucking factor at speed. I'm also a bit leary of having all that weight up fron and being clipped in as I feel like I'm going to flip over and brake my collarbone. Any suggestions on skidding? How about inexpensive but good tires? Thanks!
