Does the OP have a big bike date in two weeks or something? Don't understand...

hahahaha a nose manual would be ridiculous on a fixed gear in motion.

If you want to do tricks, buy a flatland bike.

Funny you learned to skid before trackstand ... I always thought trackstands were easier.

nahh 12-05-08 08:45 PM

Wheelie while skidding? um...somehow that's just not going to work. at least you can't sustain a skid for more than a foot. Think about it... you take the weight off the rear wheel to skid. When you do a wheelie, all the weight goes back on the rear wheel. Ain't gonna happen..sorry.

Get some time in the saddle before you do much else.

wow. Tricks like that on fixed gear bikes looks so ****ing lame, haha. Everything is kinda slow and shaky looking.

I mean, those guys can all out ride the hell out of me, but it's still pretty stupid...

You watch a halfway decent BMX flatland vid and you'll never wanna see 'fixie tricks' again.

That's trivial.

mperiodfresh 12-05-08 11:38 PM

lets see it then, hoor

What is the deal with all the animosity here? So the guy comes here asking for advice on how to do tricks on a fixed gear. Why all the beef about it?

Guvna 12-06-08 08:23 AM

If you are a cook, would you not take a moment to gently tease some one who informed you that they too were a cook, who just purchased the most expensive pan on the market (despite your knowledge that the pan is silly and impractical) and wanted your advice on various pancake flipping techniques?

Really it's just a rights of passage thing--everyone comes to this forum with sort of a stale question and gets burned once. They key is not to let your feelings get hurt by people who spend their time in online forums.

most of the people in this forum are purists who believe a fixed gear bicycle's sole purpose is to be an instrument of speed and the bike is being abused if you do tricks on it and to ride it in any other way than was originally intended is blasphemy...

This is a joke, yes?

i doubt you were kidding, and that's ridiculous. i'd say 85-90% of us on here have tried or do try tricks and ****. purists? 99.99% of us ride our track bikes on the street for christsake. its when the focus becomes something trivial that people on this forum get irritated. bending a fork by stomping on it or running it over, just to do barspins...then asking if its ok? i bet theres a ride in two weeks or the OP's friends are getting together and he wants to show up like karate kid and show them up. when the focus is on winning cool points, somethings wrong. if you're focusing on tricks and you're a solid solid rider, people dont think twice, because you know your ish, and won't be asking silly questions. theres no magic trick to riding backwards, theres no button combo for trackstands. all that stuff is really obvious to anyone who actually spent some time on a fixed gear. if he was asking how to pop a no handed wheelie, thats a little different. but read the op....its just got naive in spades.
