      Most of the time cars skid when the roads are slippery or icy. When roads have a slick surface, there is less friction between the tires and the road. This causes less traction for the tires and it is easier for them to lose control. It is not impossible to skid on dry surfaces.

      The tries do still create friction but it wont be enough to control the bike which is why you loose control .
