deltarider, that drift sequence was pretty awesome
is this a real sport?
i know some people ride fixed gears in races for a challenge, but ive never heard of people attempting tricks on them _________________ http://sarasota941.blogspot.com/ |

Ya, it's pretty big in the Bay Area, LA, and New York. But it's a lot of fun, easy commute, and you get all the ladies when you ride them...kinda. |

Some of those were just single speeds, not fixed gears.
There used to be a bunch of emo fixed gear riders in my town so my punk roommate decided to take an single speed, strip the brakes off like a fixed gear but still ride with a free spinning wheel. That bike was a mess. _________________

MattG, yep, that was the only way to stop. His shoes and tires both wore out pretty quickly. _________________

Currently working on converting my old road bike to a fixed. Things are a blast and I love the simplistic nature of them. Now if only I had some more money to finish the job. |

I'd be afraid I'd be flung right on my face because of the whole stopping thing.
I heard former professional snowboarder (and rawest, truest dude ever) scotty whitlake biked cross country on a fixie. Gnarlie!!!
you should post pics of your bike. _________________ *The opinions expressed are on my behalf and not those of wakeskating.com* |

I will definitely be keeping a front brake on mine to aid in the stopping but it really isn't that bad to slow them down. Just takes a little getting used it. |

LiquidForce71, I'm not scene. That's like me saying all the people who have a wakeboard brand as their Name on wakeskating.com are complete n00bs at wakeskating. |

deltarider, i agree, i was once very n00b and now i have somewhat graduated from n00b, but everyone in my town that has a fixie is scene, or maybe just a new fad along with fixies, But im sure your not a scene kid and maybe im just making a generalization so im sorry if I offended you. _________________ http://www.bigotebros.com/ |
