'jamaican skid' - place your front foot under the forward pedal and pull up, whilst pressing down with the back foot (back-pressure). google for a video clip etc.
EDIT - weight forward as usual! try and 'catch' the forward pedal rather than slamming your foot under it. (It can hurt if you try this at speed.)
