Skidding: front foot mainly hip flexor and tibialis anterior, back foot quads, glutes and a bit of hamstrings. Core is obviously involved as well. Back pedaling glutes, quads and a bit of hammies.
So basically all the muscles you would use walking/running.

Fuck if I know, honestly. I work out and have ok legs, but when I learned skidding I absolutely fried my hip (iliacus?) for like 4 days with one not so long ride. Literally couldn’t lift that leg. Fixed gear really makes me feel muscles I didn’t know I had.
