Re: My first rear wheel skid

You arent alone. In my MSF class they had a specific section during the riding course dedicated to skidding your tire. They wanted you to know what it felt like. We did about 3 runs with a skid stop. Remembering what they said was the most important....if you skid your rear ... keep it locked and skidding until you stop! Letting go increases your chances of a (forget the term) flipping over your bike when the tire grabs after letting off the brake in a skid if you are sideways at all.
