For me it's more of a timing issue. The more you think about it the more you will understand when I say just lock your knees. You can also lean to the side to help you learn.

Full lean (nuts on stem) skids are the stupidest looking thing on earth. Skid up right or go home.

Actually I don't care, what ever you do, as long as (it's legal) you are on a bike it's alright by me.
