Jamaica skid? No, she did it voluntarily!!
Yep, admittedly more of a wet-weather novelty than a reliable method of stopping, but I enjoyed it so much that I mustered the cash and enthusiasm for some clipless pedals (and accidentally destroyed my rear brake).
I haven't looked back since; though that's largely because I have to concentrate on the road now that my stopping distance has doubled.
