>>2035661A sustained skid isn't a very good way to slow down unless you master "whipskid", which is initiating a skid while leaned over so the rear wheel of the bike begins to slide out sideways. The more you skid the tail out, the more you increase the contact patch of the skidding tire. Starting to go too sideways? It's fine, just stop locking your rear wheel and the bike will magically upright itself cause physics.
But really, the pro strat is "skipstopping". Basically instead of using all the energy required to lock you real wheel, you use juuuuust too little which will break traction and hop the rear wheel into the air (allowing you to slow it down much easier and do a more effective braking as it micro skids upon landing back down on the street). Once you get really good at this, you can do an ABS like pattern that will work vastly better as a braking technique.
