SKIPPING stops a bike going downhill.
I can't figure out why everyone's all into skids. They're too long and too destructive to my tires. Skipping stops me faster and with (I think?) less wear on my tire.
so let me get this straight:
-you dont understand why people are "all into skids", you don't like going through tire after tire, and so your final solution to this dilemma is that "skipping" around is the most efficient way of stopping? sounds to me like a brake is the real answer, but you can't sacrifice the loss in cool points.
