Default bike feels weird after locking up

I was out for a put yesterday, and someone cut me off. Unfortunately, where I started braking, there must have been an accident of some sort, because it was just a giant puddle of coolant. I locked up both tires, and I'm really not sure how I didn't drop, but I must have slid a good 10- 15ft. For the rest of my journey, my bike feels kinda squirrely in the back end.. Is this a mental thing? or could I have loosened something up in the skid?

Thanks.

You could have flat spotted the tire during the slide. Or the brake pads and rotors are "scarred" and need to be checked. As for something loose, not sure.

Its mental man. Good job keeping your bike up been there and yes it is scary ****. You did skid your back tire but keep riding it will be fine. You probably feel the back tire spin out a little when you change gears. It happens.
