When I was a little kid racing ABA (like 10 years old), I was convinced the secret to good gates was the power-wheelie, a la Gary Ellis.

he has the power of christ! who won?

thats not a hipster! he has a brake!

posting on the net about people actually riding their bikes is the jackass hipster move of your whole entire sad life

Snap

bingo.

He's obviously got too much torque for that bike to handle.

"You Lose"

dante hicks?!

hater, wheelies are the ONLY way to start sprints

working with holders is awkward, but i'm glad everybody is coming out to the Rat Pack Hustle and getting the hang of it. i prefer trackstand starts, but you don't really have much say in real track events.

every now and then i still hop my front wheel as well, and its nerve wracking because you're simultaneously using your arms for a little more leverage and potentially twisting your bars. honestly i don't have much in terms of advice for fast starts. ask alex if he makes it out on monday. He's definitely got the hang of it.

oh, and eddie; nathbdp = john. john = jackass hipster in the photo.

Damn, carl, you may be the same age as me, to bring up Gary Ellis.

he looks like kind of freaky like a serial killer...

that dude is fierce. don't **** around w/him.

how many ****ers have crosses on their helmets nowadays?

no one cares about this loser who obviously doesnt know how to conrol his bike.

:p:p

[until we find out who won the race] ; yay for internet stupidity

are you actually claiming that he is completely unable to control his bike and he wasn't just being a jackass?

who said anything about not being able to control his bike?

you were talking about being unable to keep your wheel on the ground. Where you implying that was what resulted in the picture posted? If that wheelie was the result of being unable to keep his wheel on the ground then he can't control his bike for ****.

actually that's not that uncommon when you're starting a sprint from a dead start. Granted, it certainly isn't good form, but i think this thread was started as an acknowledgment of that.
