No. just fyi a rear brake does the exact same thing as skidding. also how the hell would you get flown over the bars if you lock up your
rear wheel. Maybe you should stop trying so hard not to be a certain type of person and learn to do something because it can be practical sometimes. Skidding isn't a bad thing.
