I know someone is going to say "search the forum newb," so just send me a PM if you really want to cry about it instead of posting in this thread.

I always see these guys online skidding effortlessly. I would like some pointers on technique. I would also like to know what ratio you are running. I'm running a 48/15 on my new Windsor Hour with I guess the stock 700c wheels. I find it super hard to skid even more than 4-6 inches. Do I need to lock my knee? Do I need to lean as far forward as possible? I feel like im going to eat pavement if I lean too far forward.
