How can you skid / How to do skids / skidding

Is this question like the 'my mate' who got caught sniffing knickers or 'my mate' that got caught with a dildo up his arse?
You just put a post in the names & faces section saying that you're a 'newb', don't be embarrassed about not being able to skid mate

Just putting two and two together.......

You've got some weird mates...

skidding on grass:

1, want a shit.
2, walk to grass
3, drop trou
4, start running
5, jump land on bum.

Presto!

Dogs do skids on grass to itch their rings when they've got worms

Back to the OP, maybe you both should head down to Trix night near Spitalfields tonight?

It can be a bit difficult to teach loved ones stuff and you both often end up getting annoyed...

"Just lock your legs and lean forward a little..."
"I fucking am locking my legs and leaning forwards, you bellend..."
"No you're fucking not, otherwise you'd be fucking doing it!"

cue escalation in hostilities that leaves millions dead...

A little input from others might help out?

Try without foot retention.

If you have the 'knack' of the whole skid thing, its just as easy, if not more - to do so by tucking your foot under the leading pedal & locking it in position.

This will affirm in 'her' mind the correct body position, and understanding that its about pulling front/up on the leading pedal & not pushing down on the rear.

Spray her rear with WD40.

How to teach someone to skid?

Push them down a wet hill.

Set them on fire?

OK, it's not going to help with the skidding, but who can resist a good burning?

Good idea, plus once their limbs have burnt off they might skid better.

Random thing to ask, I know, I can do it perfectly well thankyou. But my girlfriend just got a fixie, and after getting on wel with it just riding around, she's determined to learn how to skid, after a few attempts, she's deemed it impossible. I've tried helping her by telling her the basic idea, ie get your weight over the front & off the back, put reverse pressue on the wheel & lock up your legs, she just can't seem to do it. Any tips on how to help her practice?

Tim, my boyfriend taught me, there was no arguing. I learned on the "trixie chix" court on columbia road which is a great surface (slightly soft and smooth) and where 90% of the women here learned.

-Mike's winning tip for me was to try to lean forward over the handlebars far enough to look under the front wheel. The leaning forward part is the hard part (general consensus). Most of the ladies got the skidding part but couldn't make the skid last for long because of not much weight distribution.

-Also pulling up with your strong foot I think is much more important than the "locking of knees". The knee locking thing is more likely to lead to the feeling of/actuality of being thrown over the bars or sore knees.

-pulling up/pushing down when your feet are at 3 and 6 o'clock.

-speed is best, and the faster the better.

-Our muscles have a 'memory' of positions so hold the bike for her while she just stands in place in the correct skidding position, so she can feel the position she's trying to achieve.

Muscle memory is a myth.

The only way I can skid with 48/14 is to, firstly, have some hair raising speed in the cooker - and then lightly feather the front break (this I presume lifts the rear wheel a little) and off I go, skidding.

It's fun.

Unless you have a video of him playing the piano naked whilst staring directly at the camera - this will remain a bald assertion.
