What is tarck
 
I see this thrown around a lot and am unclear as to what the definition of tarck is. And can someone supply pictures of a tarck bike to help me better spot one in the future.

thanks

It's a secret.

hahaha...not a secret but a Xecret. it's just a misspelling of "track". nothing major...just usual internet behavior.

tarck is just a misspelling of the word track. People around here tend to make a lot of typos.

This subculture has a strong focus on color-coordination and fixed-gear specific tricks such as skidding or doing a whirly-bird.
is a whirlybird a barspinz or the one where they go backwards and then into a wheelie

i gotta know

I remember when you couldn't post that here. The good old days when stuff was edited out of spite. Like dutret's name, for instance

Think clown bikes where form well trumps function.

Tarck is about being friends.

But then you can have bikes that are "tarck as ****" that are a little less candied, and a little more 'badass.' Like some of those gorilla bikes with the insane saddle to bar drop, or too much NJS stuff.
