Ok, so I use my front brake and back preasure to slow down. Was wondering what is to big of a gear to do skids on? It seams like it would be hard on my 48/16-81in. But I have never done one on any other gearing.

i do skids without too much problem on 48-15. you could probably skid much bigger than that, it's just a matter of getting weight off the back wheel.
