Cog skip?

hi everyone, new to fixed gear here.

well, i got a Specialized NY langster recently and had been riding it SS for a few weeks, but the other night, i switched it over to fixed.
i did the first skid and my lockring flew off and my cog un-threaded and stripped the threads.
specialized replaced the rear wheel (under warantee) and the LBS set everything up for me.

i was riding around the parking lot skidding around and it seemed fine, but every few skids, when i would peddle again, i would feel a slight skip.

is this the lock-ring/cog tightening back up or am i unweighting the rear wheel and spinning the tire?

not too bad, i just wanna know if this is normal.


tl;dr: fixed cog skips when i peddle after a skid. is this normal?


thanks
