That's cool.... I wonder how many people skid with their left foot forwards first? U don't see many... Anyone an ambidextrous skidder? i.e. skid with either foot forwards?[/quote]
I def have a preferd foot forward but have no problems skidding left foot forward. I find it invaluable when slowing down fast so that I can skip (which slows you down faster) and flick the back out either side with each skid, you can really scrub off speed quickly when you're side ways, either by skidding effectivly or ending up on the ground, then your skin has really good grip on the road to slow you down. :)
