Just repeat the first juicy bit of a skid many times in succession, in sort of bouncing motion by weighting & unweighting the back pedal.
It stops you faster than a long skid as there is more weight on the back wheel while it is locked, and because of the backward pedalling.
Still no replacement for a brake though.
