What do you mean by "regular pedals"? I have clips and straps on my fixie (because I use it everyday and like to wear regular shoes) and I can skid just fine. I was riding with a bunch of other fixie riders last night and they said that it is EASIER for them to skid with clipless pedals because there is less of a "stretch" to the straps. but since I have always had clips and straps I really dont know the difference. I dont have a problem skidding with clips and straps. If you are talking about flats though, I know its POSSIBLE but difficult since you would have to put a lot DOWN on the pedals.
