Skinnies are narrow passages, ridges, and basically anything you need to balance on (think bike balance beam).

Doing skinnies on a mountain bike is easiest if learned on the road. Try riding the white lines first, until you can ride them for long distances consistently. Move on to curbs for a real-world test, and then you're pretty much there.

One really important thing would be to learn how to do drops. If you need to jump off the skinny prematurely, or just need someplace to go at the end, you're screwed without knowing drops. Check my other video for my info on that: https://youtu.be/LYKRUqKqoDQ
