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)

dude, you should just get out and race. you are pretty quick and you already know how to ride brakeless. what do you really have to lose, besides maybe some hydration?

here's a tip T, you might end up with negative distance if you do that 180 degree skid of yours. on the other hand, that will be funny as ***** to see.

that would be awesome. I'll practice that tomorrow to see if I can end past where I started. Also, I want it to rain - I've made myself believe i can do a 360 skid.

Remember that long skid you did on the wet street the other night?
It was at least twice as long as that, at LEAST. On dry ground. Him and Zak from Pittsburgh were pretty comparable in terms of distance, and both were way beyond whoever came in 3rd.

I worked on the one-footed trackstands tonight in preparation to 0wn.

as of 5 minutes ago when asked how he (86) will do in skids he said "it's been so long, i am going to get my ass torn off by someone". so there you have it.
