Right leg doesn't do much after skids

fc9k Can someone explain skipping to me? Is it just like a skid but with the back wheel unweighted enough to let it bounce about a bit?

there would be no point in that, you are trying to slow down. The maximum friction between two surphace exicst just before slipage. When you are skidding you have significantly less grip and hence friction. So you want to try and keep the wheel just off of skidding, When skipping I personaly resist untill I skid abit let go alittle then skid again, repeat. Each skid tends to be on a different foot forward. You do NOT want your rear wheel comming off the ground as you will not be slowwing!
