On an empty road, much easier if it’s some kind of rough road. Some dust, rubble, or even sand could make the practice easier. Actually, sand would make it hard if you don’t have enough power.
Learn it with a mountain bike, or even a BMX. Or a smaller displacement bike.

First, relax.
This could be tiring, but it’s doable. And you need to have a strong leg.
Try to increase your speed before initiating a skid.

This is where practicing some skids and drifts would come in handy.

Focus your gaze up ahead, look as straight as you can. There’s no point in looking at your skidding tire. You can check your mirrors, but the action of skidding itself is warning enough for the other people following you. Unless they are blind, then you’re dead.
Going back to your scenario 2, your rear wheel is locked up. Relax, and let your muscles remember what to do.

Now, increase the weight, try it on a motorcycle.
Two scenarios could happen here.
The chain flies away, and your engine doesn’t have a connection to the rear wheel.
Scenario 1:
And at that point, depending of your speed, you also need some kind of luck.
In this case:

And at this point, you really can’t do anything about whatever I’m going to write here. What it will take is some practice and muscle memory.
