Skipping?

If you need a front brake for this 'skipping' bollocks.. why not use the front brake?

I don't get it.. I skid for a laugh but if I want to stop I skid but put all my weight back rather than forward.. combined with my rather nifty front brake of course. I am so SMRT.

I have TWO brakes on my bike currently, im experimenting with different riding & braking possibilities.

Id never press a front brake to engage any kind of skid, sounds lethal.

But I have found this skipping method allows you to put more pressure into the rear wheel than skidding helping to stop quicker, but have also found its a bitch to start the skid if travelling at speed.

My favoured method of skid stopping so far is a skid/swerve combo. Spent the past two days trying to learn 180' rollout skids, and never fell over once. So ive come to the conclusion the swerve/180 skids are a safe method of collission evasion.
