skidding tips
i can skid fine on my bike but i have to lean all the way forward to be able to. does anyone have any tips on how to skid without having to lean all the way forward? ive seen in mash and some other clips where people skid while pretty much still sitting on their seat and im wondering if it just has to do with the chainwheel size or something or if its technique.

SF people don't exactly rock the big gears. Stand-skids are fun and or great for fast stops. stick to smaller gears if you want to do them with ease, or practice and build up the stregth to do it with a larger gear.
its going to be harder with a 48/17 than with a 41/14. I've done it on both and I didn't have to put any effort into the skid with the 41/14.
