Serious answer is obvious, as said by poopooface.
What disc wheel do you have? If its a track disc it will be tubular (dont think they make clincher track discs that dont cost grands) and you should not skid on it. I have a clincher road disc converted to fixed and it feels solid but I very rarely skid with it and if I do, I try to put as much weight forward as to lower the resistance pressure on the hub itself. Im quite skinny which is also a bonus.
My 2p of advice, don't bother with a tubular disc for riding brklz daily, its only gonna break and make you cry. Sell the disc, get a nice wheelset. If you have a fixie disc, you will also prob want a trispoke on the front for mega slave points too so get one of those first. DYR an buy a clincher road disc on ebay etc. then convert using a spnk fixxer and only use it for special occasions aka spfg rides or other hhslave rides.
