not sure if the thread is serious, but... put your weight on your arms, and of course, if you are riding a bike with 90 gear inches is going to be tough. skidding isn't really necessary. get a brake for when you are first learning to ride, otherwise you're going to slam into something at a convincing clip. TO make it worse, before impact you'll have a few seconds to think, "i can't stop because i'm riding this dumb fucking bike"
