Hmmm lots of talking about skidding... I had no idea there was any kind of cool factor involved in skidding... I read somewhere (probably an unreliable hipster blog) that it was a good thing to learn to skid stop if you don't run a back brake just in case your front brake fails... But maybe that's rubbish? I do feel a bit like I rely too much on my front brake in my current gear... hmmm :-/
