he doesn't speak for me.
but i suck at bball. i noticed, though, that the muscles i use for soccer and those i use for riding my bike seem different. i was really sore the day after game a few months ago, but when i jumped on my bike it's like the pain was gone!

agreed that basketball is wank... and velodrome racing is as much about cleverness and skill as it is about raw power. i miss it a lot already.

I'm sorry, climbing hills on a fix won't help anyone jump higher. Hillclimbing uses slow-twitch muscle fibers and build up endurance, while jumps are about max power. Possibly short sprints would help.

Yeah, riding fixed isn't really going to do much for your hops. Unless you're mixing it with barley and making beer. Then....well it's still not going to do very much.

I thought this post was going to be about the fixed-gear baseball league that I proposed a few months ago whereby the length of a skid determines the bases you get for your "hit". Failing to start the skid before the skid-start line would be a "strike". Skids that failed to meet a certain distance would be considered outs. I was disappointed that only jhnmrk like the idea then, and this post is irrelevant to it.
Won't anyone play this game with me?

Why so much hate fellas? I play ball also, and years of riding have done
nothing for my non-existent hops. I think the two are totally different animals.

No...riding fixed will not teach you how to jump (nor teach you how to play ball)...you have to learn how to jump and jump to get used to that by actual experience and repetition...
but if you know how to jump, most activities that strengthen your legs WILL increase your hops (generated by leg strength)
TRUST ME....riding my bike PERIOD (even before I got fixed) helps my hops and other activities ( I run track).... I know through experience

You should post your theories in the training and nutrition forum.
