Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

Skipping Videos

I have seen several videos of skidding but I haven't seen anything with skipping in it. Does such a flic exist?

you've probably seen it and not realized it...
it's not much to look at...
it's really just a half second or so of skidding whenever the pedals get about horizontal...
it just looks like the rider bounces a little while he/she's riding...

filming a fixed rider Skipping would be super intense, probably illegal to send through the mail as well... maybe in a few years people will be able handle such graphic and shocking video footage..
