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?

I know, you should see his bicycle in real life with the two shiny rims - they actually reflect light onto the pavement when the sun shines. It certainly has some blinding qualities. Might have to start wearing tin foil when that bike is around.

For f*cks sake man, how do you have any guillones left? That is some impressive stuff. I almost ate total crap trying to go thru the frame and over the leg separate from each other. Right now is the 1 foot rt foot and no use of left arm cause it hurts still skid as my best.

It is an old ninja trick - you suck your boys up into your stomach.

Also, cutting your steartube as short as possible and running a stem with a little rise helps to minimize "accidents".

It's simple man, all I had to do was redefine the term "playing with myself" and it all came naturally from there.

somewhat of a sharp point I guess.
One thing to remember if you can't pull the ninja stuff is to put your balls infront and not behind the stem. It will make them very happy!

Hmmmm, I only see over the bars, but no through the frame. Are those the right pics?

Very rad though, nice shots.

Was just kidding. I know you are hecka-mad-ill!

Try a cross-footed skid for some extra body destruction. Left foot right pedal right foot left pedal.
It feels like you are stiched into the frame and provides lots of fun when trying to get out of it after losing balance.

so I havent really tried it yet , honestly, but I really would like to learn. Do you just basically have to do it, and itll work? I imagine all it takes is a firm lockup of the pedals, and some weight on your front wheel and off your back. Is that it??

Any tips or tricks you have for me?

Nuts on the stem. Seriously. It will be VERY difficult if you don't do this. It is very hard (psychologically) to do this at first, but it is necessary.

I learned by practicing in the rain. It's much easier to skid when the ground is wet so you can skid without putting your nuts on the stem, and then get into the appropriate position once you start skidding. From there it's all about doing that as quickly as possible.

think it would be ok to start without my feet in the straps?

I have a bad feeling that if I got the skid going, when id come to a halt, I would just tip over. Hate tipping over! Or like these ****ty pedals I used to use, the strap would get stuck on my shoe,and id stop, go to take my feet out, theyd get stuck, and Id tip over and feel realy clumsy!
