I started riding with 49x17. A great skid ratio,you can really pull long whip skids with it. I highly recommend it.

ur face is too close to my screen, get it of me

+1 for the brakes, I already avoided some serious crashes with them ! (I have a front brake only)

That's a beautiful bike

Lol brakes are for losers. *skids into vehicle*

Love the editing on this one, man. Very funny.

For clipless pedals, what amount of float do you prefer on your pedal cleat (0, 4.5 ,and 9 degrees)? I just got Look Keo Sprint pedals, and the 9 degrees is feeling loosy goosy? Any suggestions? Great video, as well.

Whats the best ratio for skidding? Im a beginner in fixie riding im running 46:16 and its like impossible to stop my pedals from moving

been riding 50x14 for 2 years now and i like it. I don't skid that much tho. nice vid btw

ever time i try i end up stripping the the threads if my hub where is connects to the cog, i am a big guy but i have some big friends that can do it any suggestion on how i can stop my problem.

2 years later still cant

what bike should i get?whats the best cheapest fixed gear bike i should get?pure fix?i want light and double wall rims and something that can handle hills

Tire: I recommend the "Schwalbe Durano Skid" it´s very durable and simultaneously it´s a hard compound that slides very nice.

is the magic ellipse good for skidding? how have u have it?

How to skid on clipless? Because on my first time skidding in clipless it suddenly unclipped and resulted in a crash Ive tighten it to full tension but still came off why is that?

Does the chain tension affects the learning process?

do u need to be locked on the pedals?

@locked in what pedals and shoes do u have

You should mention that pulling the front pedal up is pretty key as it removes weight from the back wheel. Like, learning to skip first is good idea. Almost like doing a nose wheelie.

Guys what's a good gear ratio for skidding? It's too hard to lock up my wheels

I have a ratio of like 46/14 is that a good ratio for skidding??

Did he had his toe clip on? I can't seem to skid at all without toe clips...

What shoes and pedal are those?

are you using clipless pedals?

Is 48 18 good for skidding?

Do u know how to skid like dafnefixed? He can do long skid but not 'ball to stem' skid. Tried it and it's really hard

is that normal if I tried to do skid but when I push backward is really hard

I love professional fixed gear riders that still recommend brakes and not like others who act like they're tough shit.

does skidding destroys fixed gear hub?

would like to see a "how to bunny hop on a fixed gear like a boss!" vid :D

i find it easier if you begin to skid with a brake and a fixed gear. it helps as attempting to skid for the first time is hard and requires strong strength

What cycling shoes is he wearing??

whats your gear ratio?

Idk if it is hard, but because i dont have a fixie, i learned skidding on my gear bike (not fixed gear). But i use the front wheel/handlebars to turn my skid. Much easier in my opinion.

can i skid with mountain clipless ?

is it oke using 24hole wheels on rear doing skidd? like mavic ellipse wheels or any wheels with 24h on rear

Jeez, those friggin forkends look sharp as hell

Its very hard for me to skid. Idk why but i have the feeling that i can't push my backweel backwards if i ride forward.

wont your tires burn fast?

I run 15:48 and it's pretty much impossible, at least with my sandpiper calves. been riding that ratio for 17 years in Boston traffic. Only the foolish don't run a rear brake. You can never know when a car will f' you up, and you won't have time/ distance for a skid. I know, I've have been hit with no time to react.

I've been skidding on 50/16 for a while.. I don't understand how some people can't skid.. Do you guys have proper foot retention? Cages/straps will make it a little difficult. Clipless pedals will make you feel "One with the bike" trust me.

What’s the name of that chainring??? Can someone help?

Last time I tried wipskiding I ate it cx but now I hop skid to sloq down or skid slight ly I cant skid like in this vid

Hey i just got my new fixed the other day and it was a single speed but also fixed. The ratio is 46:15 and when i try to skid the wheels won`t stop and i end up pedaling forward LOL

dude got it bang on about the huffy bike

I ride a mountain bike and I have one used tire that I keep that's completely bald down the middle so I can get gnarly skids

Can do with a single speed?

any problems with the Mavic Ellipse back wheel? I heard stories of the Cog jumping and stripping the threads when skid stopping?

Finally got it happening a few weeks ago. I'm just using one strap atm on my right leg, which is my dominant leg, but instead of pushing down with it, I pull up with my dominant right leg and down with my left. I hear that if you only use one dominant leg that you will wear out your tires in the same spots.

Where you got this music from?

Great tutorial. I think it should also be mentioned that being a relatively light person and having strong legs helps. I started to skid on smooth cement when it was damp to master it.

48-16 is that good ?

What rear hub do you use on your bike? I need a new since my hub stripped.

Hi does skidding if your heavy bend your back wheel ?

hey can i ask which one is easier to use pedals with toecage or shoes with cleats

easier to have a single foot strap on your dominant side so you just simply yank your foot upward and push down with the other foot

everytime i skid my rear tire goes up i can land back down but why does the rear go up? i have a 44 tooth gear but once again i can't seem to lock my legs and make my tire stay on the ground i also have toe clips

it hard to skid for me cuz I push all the way down and it won't let me skid

What is your ratio? Mine is 46x17 Will it work

thanks for the upload.

which one do you prefer, mtb clipshoes or roadclip?

What was the name of your first video @lockedin

I can skid normally but I just can't do the whip Pls help me

I still cannot skid I pull up with my right and push down with my left I cannot get to lock the back wheel to skid but it slow down only any advise thanks

I have the same bike hahah didn't know I would see one like mine up here

Is that Ayala park?

Thia help me a lot... Thank you.

Do you need a specific tyre to skid?

What is your gear ratio? Ive been riding for about 3 or 4 years and i have always had a hard time skidding.

Cool meeting u at the velodrome

"Always run brakes" doesn't have a brake

Man, I don't even own a single speed bike, but your cool&positive attitude got me subscribing! Keep it up!

last night I did a skid really close to a cop car and after this they tried to chase me, it was amazing.

Ohhhh I ride my fixed thats 50x17 I didnt know that thats really hard to skid stop until now..I just got it readin comments..

hi guys I was wondering if skidding on carbon wheels can cause damage to the wheel ?

Is 49:16 good for skidding??

I run a 52 x 14 ratio its extremely hard to skid I've been trying to do it for the longest but nothing. Will a larger hub make a difference. I have a standard quando hub

Can this be done with no straps? like on a slick pavilion floor. Subbed

Everytime I push down my dominant leg instead of me pushing the pedal down the pedal pushes my body up😑

I can't skid on my fixie. I tried what you've instructed in this video but the pedals just seem to defy my legs and continue going forward..

what pedals do you use?

Is he left footed?

I like that you advise to use breaks. I find they look stupid on a mostly cleared bike ... but German police wants everyone to have two seperatly usable brakes, so we have no other chance to mount at least on front brake in addition.

Gr8 Vid Awesome

fixed gear steel frame no brakes!

Is 49:16 good for skidding or gear down like 46:17? Please help me.

skiddin like this is so hard the only way i found to skid is put my thigh on the bars and extend my leg all the way back on the pedal

What kind of shoes are those?!?!?

I learned how to skid in the rain with a ratio of 52 and 16

Is Anyone Still Here After almost 7 Years???

You dont have to skid to brake. You can slowly try to pedal backwards and once you get slower you can use one foot to stop

DUde is baked!

interesting at min 1:31 2:06 - reverse like at steam train brake better regenerative brake oare daca se pune roata cu butuc cu frana torpedo invers cu pinionul pe stanga , se poate pedala inapoi la franare .. ? Se poate verifica coborand usor o panta cu spatele , preferabil o panta cu noroi sau zapada , ca sa nu se cada peste bicicleta dupa blocarea rotii Oricum doar un motor ar putea invarti continu roata invers o durata mai mare de timp si ar fi o uzura inutila a amvelopei .. Mai bine o frana regenerativa ..

Tried this too but my legs got kicked away cuz i couldnt stop the wheel

I use 46x16 and until now it's still a difficult things to do to stop my bike. Please inform your gear ratio to us..thx

have you already done a video like this to show road bike cyclists how to do this

make a vid on how to skip in fixed gear pls

what song is that at the end of the video?

mexican Mac from "its always sunny in Philadelphia" duuude!

Damn that's a pretty rare bike
