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)

Sorry Zigg...Ive been avoiding this thread til I saw the cool board related stuff....

Not with ya on Rollins though.........

A great movie to see about the early punk daze would be 'The Decline of Western Civilization'.
Good stuff if you are into the original Cali Punk scene...

Very well. Good turning radius, power slides, the drop down makes pumping easy for an old guy like me.

Whatever, they named it that.
Longboarding is a different animal. No jumpy grindy.

long boards are good for tricks, all the respect, its just these flat bed models that,

what trucks are those?!

i think there is a definite connection between hill bombing on shred sleds and hill bombing on a fixie. for one thing, in the case of the breakless fixie, the size of the hill bomb is in direct proportion to your slideing or skidding skills. and just like in skating, if the hill is steep enough, sometimes skidding won't even stop you...

I hate wobbly trucks.... Hate 'em , hate 'em hate 'em. For that matter, flexy track bars, and weak headsets suck too!
