you skid by locking up your left leg at the lowest point in the pedals revolution. Then when your right foot comes to 3 o'clock you pull up on your right foot. Throughout this whole time you put your weight over the front wheel. That's what I've been told and when I do the footwork just liek that it works. You use it to slow down if you don't have brakes. Also just because it's a fun thing to do and a skill that's only relevant in fixed gear.
