I have no idea if this is correct, and maybe this is just a different way of saying what's above... But I always felt it's easier to skid if your stem/bars are more centred over your front hub, as they would be on a tight track bike, rather than having the weight further behind the hub as would happen on a more relaxed road bike. I wonder if there's any truth in that.
