I can skip stop pretty easily but I find that the stopping part doesn't usually happen that quickly. I can skid in wet weather and on grass like a pro but when it's dry I can only skid about 5cm. Sumo says it's because I don't lean forwards enough. I think it's because my tyres are super grippy. It's not that important because I usually use my legs/brake to stop anyway, I just want to be able to perform a decent skid if the day finally comes that I am DASed.
