How can you skid / How to do skids / skidding

"Can't skid, won't skid"

"London FGSS is for grown ups too"

"PUS" (Pukes on skidder)

Just some early suggestions for the 2010 range of lfgss tee's ;)

Had a curry the other day...then had a brilliant skid!

But thats another story!

Thanks for the tips, done me first mid skid(no figurehead skating)after reading.
Would like to say that wanting to learn was purely for practical reasons, but that would be a lie.

A Wimbledon to Camden bike, or Wimblecamd œn bike for short. Of course.

^ Just trying to be superprecise here.

been riding a "fixie" for more than year and a half, i dont know how to skid... HELL YEAH!!!!!

Yeah ! I have been a fixieskidder for nearly fifty years now and the only way I can even get close to skidding is to wind the bike up to enormous speed then un-weight the rear end whilst feathering the (front) brake - even then we are talking a quick skid, maybe a foot, if that.

I am ashamed.

Wimblecamd œn?! sound like an Bulgarian copy of a Pashley!

Go the Scoble !!!! Get Shakespearian on his ass !!!

Well, that's the name of your bike now. Better get used to it. ;)

I think josh has built a perfect town bike recently, it has panniers and everything for commuting.

What is it's skidder ratio ?

I do declare that Josh's sit-up-and-beg Mercian town bike is absolutely spiffing dear chap.
