so did I, hasn't skidded properly for a year on my old fixed wheel conversion (the gearing was a bit high admittedly), but after aquiring the Bianchi Pista it's somehow easier.
Put a bullhorn bar on your and lean forward a bit, use cage and strap for a greater control of skid, practise on wet ground, especially the smooth kind or go out for a ride with us and watch how we skid, I did that once with fred, asm and pyjama a while ago from St Paul to Hammersmith, simply watching asm skidding gave me a better idea of how to do it properly than reading instruction or watching video.
