Fixed Gear "skipping" when accelerating / skidding / pedaling
Yooo, so recently, while i ride my fixie... I started to get these weird "skipping" motions while i either pedal/accelerate/skid. as if i were to be changing gears or something. so if i were to pedal/skid/accel, it would have some jerking motion :3 why is this? a friend told me it was because my lock ring was loose. so i tightened it and it still happened. any ideas?

Your cog & lockring are loose. Properly tighten them with the proper tools (chainwhip for cog; lockring spanner for lockring). Hopefully your rear hub isn't permanently damaged.

Your cog is slipping.
In before OP comes back arguing that his cog & lockring are tight.

Btw, the graphic of the stripped threads is not a hub - just an example of what stripped threads in general look like

I had the same thing happen to me after tightening my cog and chainring and I made sure it wasnt stripped either. I decided to regrease my bottom bracket that night and when I took out my bottom bracket there was a bearing that had gotten out, I put it back in and no more skipping, you should check that.
