for me spinning is good on 165 cranks, i find myself lowering the gear ratio to spin more. i ride 48:19 now (my track frame is in the works.... again) and it feels great. if you're learning how to skid so you can ride brakeless i find skip stops more effective and they hurt your knees less.
jon: i skid with left foot forwards and my right foot pushes the pedals at the back and it works very well
