I learned with a front brake, using the front brake with just a quick tap will shift the weight to the front. This allowed me to skid just that little bit easier . Once I got used to where it was best to position my body and pull and push on the pedals it was easier for me to transition into not using my front brake. This may or may not work for you but worth a try .

@bora01vr6 2 жыл бұрын

@@FOADGang Thanks. It sounds counter intuitive, and i suppose brake lever control comes into play a little. Just as long as youre not grabbing a fist full brake, it'll allow a person learning what the skidding feels like under their feet , (for many the only skids they've done is through the brake calipers) which will in turn translate into confidence. Confidence will allow you learn proper technique. Technique will in turn lead to easier skids and more effortless braking.

@Qwayzar Жыл бұрын

This is pretty much a quick way to learn how to drift cars as well so it makes sense! Especially when transitioning in a tandem just give a little tap on the breaks and you can switch sides of s drift pretty easily.

Need to mention bringing your knees I'm towards the top tube. Makes a HUGE difference in leverage against your cranks. Most people don't realize this and try to do it with their legs in regular pedaling position and it doesn't work nearly as well and requires a lot more energy. Another thing, if you're thinking about going brakeless then you need to be sure to both have your stamina at peak and to learn to skid and stop with a minimum expenditure of effort. As it possible that you can become too tired to stop if you wear yourself out.

@iron2valorant711 4 жыл бұрын

so your knees will be bowed in to the top tube? im trying to skid with 56:16

@DeadBoysTwo 4 жыл бұрын

@@iron2valorant711 Are you legs just incredibly fucking jacked? Like so much so that they make you seem disproportionately heavy for your size and height? Because of not your just running too high of a gearing and your legs aren't strong enough to overcome the force of the rotation, no matter the technique. When you're riding a fixed gear bike, because of how big to small and small to big gear ratios work, the force the spinning wheel exerts on the cranks is much stronger than the force the cranks exert on the wheel. So as hard as it is to push a gearing that oversized, it's going to be even harder to skid on it. If you're trying to learn to skid, that gearing is only going to teach you how much knee surgeries cost. Lower the ratio a LOT, to like less than 75", then try it. Seriously, I'm saying this because I care. That's a ratio for experienced, strong legged pros on velodromes who have no intention of stopping in a hurry. Trying the top tube trick with that ratio will probably cause immediate, not just gradual damage to your knees and ankles.

finally figured out the timing the other day when at the skatepark by my house (think it was saturday morn) an now i can skid. been trying since 08 and nothing but have watched his a few times since you uploaded it so id say it helped the most along with a few other peoples but think your info was most helpful and more informative. nice to have the option came in handy on sunday since i went on my first PKE ride and it was nice to be able to do it. all i did to be able to do it now is i put more of my foot into my straps instead of just my toes now if i put the strap to the tongue area of my shoe it helps i wear size 13s so big boy feets.

@queertales 4 жыл бұрын

Good point about the clipless pedals. I have them, and I've quit skidding when I actually need to stop, as I don't trust them anymore, after coming loose one too many times. Last time it happened I was just jumping the rear wheel up on a curb, and wound up hitting the pavement when my foot came loose, bruising my ego. :)

To maximize tire life, choose a gear ratio that has ambidextrous skid patches, meaning an equal amount of skid patches when you skid with either foot being the dominant one forward. When you nail your first skid, you're going to be stoked and keep doing it, but my advice is take it easy. If you overdo it that first day and you don't have super strong legs, you will feel the pain for a few days. I also had a bad clipless experience pulling a skid with SPD's. One foot came out and I went flying off my bike. I wasn't wearing a helmet, but luckily I didn't hit my head. Just a bloody arm. The problem was not having the tension on my pedals high enough. Once I cranked the tension up, I haven't unclipped since. Basically, get the tension as tight as you can and still be able to unclip when you need to. Looking back though, I think I felt more confident overall skidding with straps. You don't have that fear of unclipping. That said, if you use SPD-SL's, then it won't be an issue, as your feet are basically glued to the pedals.

I did have an accident, same like you, going downhill my foot popped up of the clipless, it is crazy how fast you get a high speed when this happen, I was bouncing with one foot... no time to reaction and BOOM, I flew over the street barrier some meters down towards a hill. You can see it on my last video "build it - break it". Maybe if I had seen this video before I would have never used clipless. I went back to the reliable straps after that.

I looked up this video lots of time and I cant still do it Until today I figured out how. I think beginners tend to think that it is just pure leg strength to skid.(NO) Its really in the physics where u shift ur weight to the front so there is lesser friction on rearwheel hence easier to skid. I figured out that u must lean forward to initiate the skid. At first it feels odd getting into this position but once u get used to it, It Is very easy. Try to lean forward with ur crotch touching the stem. Next when ur In that position, Practice forcing up with strap foot and forcing backwards on open foot. THIS REALLY HELPED ME. Try to think of it like a horse kick but its constantly pushing it down. Basically ankles are 45 degress and open feet is pushing backwards ASHARD AS YOUCAN. And also there is also quite abit of arm strength to skid or else you will loose control and fall. I hope this helps :)
