hey,

just got my new track bike and on the first ride felt the need to learn to stop. fast. i'd heard about how to skid stop and thought i'd give it a shot. i did get a front brake, and i pulled it. the first time the back wheel came up and then down. this happened again the second time. the third time i tumbled over the handlebars. what happened? did i pull the brake too hard? i didn't skid any of these times. i've heard that i'm supposed to lean into the handlebars, but won't this just shift my weight forward and make me dump again?

also, i got gator skins. is this maybe why it was harder to skid?

any thoughts would be really helpful.
