Yes, usually. Most gliders have one or two wheels under the fuselage and a skid on each wingtip. However, some older and/or smaller gliders may have only skids.

The past tense of skid is skidded. Your car may skid in the rain. My car skidded across the intersection.
Most do, but some do not. The most common truck configuration is 18 wheels. However, they may come in the following: 14 wheels-2 steer tires, 4 super single drives, and 8 tires on trailer tandems, or 8 drives and 4 super singles on trailer tandems. 10 wheels-2 steer tires, 4 super singles on drives, 4 on trailer tandems Oversized loads have far more tires than the above mentioned
I hope I understand your question. Anti-lock brakes are used to keep your brakes from locking if you slam them on. If your wheels lock, your tires will skid on the pavement. This will increase your stopping time and possibly throw your car into an uncontrollable skid since one front wheel may skid before the other. Wet pavement exacerbates the problem.
FWD means Front Wheel Drive. This means that engine power is transferred to the road by the front wheels instead of the rear wheels as was common in the past. FWD cars are known to get better traction in slippery conditions, but may respond unpredictably in a turning skid.
No, the sheep may not skid dish in running water
- There are many other combinations out there of "18-wheelers" that do not have 18 wheels. Basically, an "18-wheeler" is the slang term for any truck-trailer combination that is over 26,000# and uses a 5th wheel setup for attaching the trailer to the tractor (truck). - A typical, standard, five axle tractor-trailer combination in North America has 18 wheels. Always has, always will. - In some instances, companies may replace the dual wheels with what are known as 'Super Singles' - a single, very wide tire and rim which replace a dual wheel. There are several companies out there that think that this is a more efficient way to run tires on their rigs. - Of course, there are combinations which may have more or less road wheels - a tractor-trailer which has less or more than 18 wheels is still a tractor-trailer, for which the term "18 wheeler" has become synonymous (due to 18 wheels being the norm). - The term "18-wheeler" is just like Vice-Grips (locking-jaw pliers), or Channel-Locks (slip-jaw pliers), or Kleenex (tissue paper). - They are all "improper" names synonomously used for a given item. Kudos!
You can rent a mini skid steer and receive a demonstration on how to use it from a local company offering mini skid steers and demonstrations. Prices may vary.
It may or may not be. Camper may also refer to a recreational vehicle which isn't a trailer, as well.
The so-called engine braking control (MSR). It controls the wheel slippage when the foot it taken off the accelerator. If the drive wheels lose adhesion during severe load changes, the vehicle becomes unstable. It can no longer be steered and may skid. The MSR detects this tendency by comparing the speed of the drive wheels with that of the free-moving wheels and then accelerates slightly if necessary.
