Fixed Gear- Sunset fix session BCN
 

I want to share this video about rides with fixies in Barcelona.
enjoy it!!

fixed gears: you can't coast brake or pedal for more than fifty feet without whip skidding

these guys make me want to never skid again

:(

they should consider trading bikes.. Sizes are way off.

My fixie is a old road bike transformed to fixed, and my friend too.

watched it again. that is a seriously beautiful city. and some darn good camera work.

I love Barcelona is really beautiful.
Thanks, camera's friend is amateur but is doing a good job.

Guillem.

nice! good camera and fun vid, thanks for sharing. beautiful city

You're the one with the long hair? Just saying your frame looks pretty big for you and the other guy's (the first guy) looks pretty small. Nice video though. Looks like fun.

Sicke edit brah.

The camera work is good and all but I never understand why these videos try to show riders going fast while skidding the whole time. Do you want to ride fast - or slow down?

My girlfriend went to spain a few summers ago, I really want to go now too. Did that tire even make it through the day?

That's a great summary for how I feel with some recent videos I've seen. Haul ass.....skid.....make up for lost speed.....skid....wtf? Skidding for the sake of skidding is dumb, unless it's a unique skid or part of some other trick....which these were not.

What if you just HATE rubber and part of your way for showing your disdain for it is buying a FG bike just so you can skid all the time and destroy it? Did you even think of that before making fun of other people's phobias?

I like the chrome? rims on the bigger bike. Did you polish some deep Vs or did you buy the rims like that?

They're most likely just bright silver B43s.

I like fixed gear videos where the people are going HAM not just slowly riding around the city and ruining tires

People like myself enjoy skidding just for the fun of it. I don't think it serves any other purpose than having fun. It is kind of like drifting in a car (which also serve no purpose other than calling it a form of art or style).

Can you post an example?

i knew there was a reason i stopped hanging out in the drift scene

Looks like you had a lot of fun. Is that frame blue or silver? It looked really good with white bar tape and a brown saddle.

****in hipsters

i knew there was a reason i (mostly) stopped hanging out in the fixed scene.

Yet here you are...
