Firstly, skidding is not something you should be trying to AVOID doing, definetly not something to be proud of.
Next, I dont really know what your on about as you write with less logic than me.
Skipping can be caused by a number of things, worn out chainring/chain/sprocket, bad chainline etc.
If your using old perished tyres with low pressure, they can actually spin on the rim, your tube wont last long in this case so it will be come clear if this is the case.
