the trackstands are hard, but i'm getting a better feel for it.
but i can't execute a skip/skid. period.
how long did it take for you to be able to skip? any tips?
I've been riding fixed for about a month now... I couldn't really skid until this week. I understood the motion...took advice from forums... but I think the X-factor was the new bullhorns I just got... it makes it really easy to get all your weight up towards the front of the bike, much much easier than drops... hopefully ill be able to switch back to drops cuz they r so damn sexy
