Just got a fixed gear a couple days ago, wanna learn how to skid
Title basically sums it up, I wanna learn how to skid. I currently dont have pedal straps so that might be an issue. Any tips would be appreciated

1. Put your nuts on the stem.
2. Extend dominant leg backwards.
3. Buy new tire.

But seriously, it just takes practice, timing is a big part.

you usually want to lock the rear (dominant) leg around the 45 degree or so. I ride fixed mtb a lot and can skid pretty readily without straps in place. skip stops are much more effective for actual stopping though - another good one to practice and with both legs.
