having says that, I still do skip stop though, which doesn't really wear the tyre that much, much more effective than a skid per se.
how does one skip stop? is it a mini 'donkey kick' followed by a sudden stab of back pedal?[/QUOTE]
Keep the weight on the back wheel and hop a little. When wheel lands it stops for a very brief time with a full weight tiny skid and then the momentum keeps you going.
Rather than leaning over the bars and shouting 'smell my skid'
