The same principles apply to braking on any other wheeled vehicle. Do I really need to further prove that maximum deceleration is acheived by not skidding tires?

P.S Name-calling is against forum rules. Thanks
He is correct. You brake the fastest by repeatedly skipping the rear wheel, because it takes a lot of force to break the wheel free and only a little bit to retain a skid, so by repeatedly using the force necessary to skip you slow down faster.
