So I can skid stop, I can skip stop, but I can't hockey stop. Looking through some existing threads it just says to send the back wheel sideways, but it doesn't explain how.
Looking at videos of hockey stops it looks like people send the back wheel in the same direction as their forward foot. What I would like to know is whether that is achieved by just turning the handlebars, or if you use your legs to throw the back round? Does it take a higher speed than a normal skid to be able to initiate a hockey skid? Do you unweight the back more?
