Gear ratio

yes, i have been to the gearing primer site and all that, but the only thing i could get from it that meant anything to me was how many skid patches i'd get.

either way, im riding 42-16 right now, and i was watching mash sf for the hundereth time (yes yes, i know)

and i've been trying to get that stand up skid (or speedcheck i suppose) that they without going balls forward.

ive tried and tried, but i just cant do it.
i

now i live in philly, so if someone could reccomend me a ratio for a low hill area and for easy skiddage, i would be much appreciative. if it matters, im 6'0" 145lbs



tl;dr need gear ratio for philly and skids
