option (alt) + shift + 2 on a Mac.

Probably 'insert' or some shit on a PC.

I often shit on a PC. Or WPC.

In response to the OPer

I am just at the stage where skidding instead of hopping is happening sort of by accident. Basically, the skids seem to happen when I sort of half-arsedly do a hop but give up halfway through. Like - don't try so hard, and the skid magically happens.

the trick with the 'skip stop' is to SKIP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Think he can skip, but can't skid...

ooops OK now I read the OP again!

OK yeah do a bunny hop. Peasy.

i used to ride brakeless on my bmx, just used to stuff my foot between the top of the wheel and the chain, im sure that would do the trick! not as cool though! haha ;)

argh! im having a right off day today! i meant to say top of the wheel and the frame! sorry!

amen.

Epic skid stop fail on my way to work this morning.
I'm bombing down Parkway towards Camden Town tube station when the lights at the Arlington Rd intersection suddenly turn amber. No problem, I think, it's an opportunity to execute a stylish skid stop. So it's skid-pedal-skid then KRRRRRR my chain comes off. Leaving me to running like Fred Flintstone to pull up before the lights.
Strange, cos I tightened my chain a couple of days ago. But at least the White Van Man behind me got a laugh out of it.

yowzers! you don't ride a unipac, do you? ;)

how stylish do you think you'll look wedged under a bus?

Roberto has some Miche chains for a fiver at the mo.

May I suggest the addition of a brake?

No buses on Arlington Road; but lots of 4x4s taking little girls to the nice primary school there (where my daughters used to go.) Stylish to go under a Range Rover surely? A really romantic death rather like dying of consumption when it was something that poets did before it became TB and became something poor people died of.

you wanna be careful about that mine came off when i was on my way down blackstock road -which for those of you don't know is also a rarther fast hill - and i was shitting it. luckily i didn't have too foot jam and was able to coast down the hill, which was a nice hange for once

"skid stop"

is today's oxymoron, children.
