Second what Jevi said. We're getting into racing more now and you will certainly see us around. Definitely not my style to judge anyone, especially the kids who are new to this. Last year I was riding my first ever fixed bike with straps and now raced at red hook and all thanks to the friendly community, that was always supportive unlike some of the people on the forum. That's my 2pence here

Doing stuff for fun is great, more power to you for that. Sorry if it came across that I was bad mouthing you, but when the first thing posted on the forum about you is a video of someone pointlessly whip skidding and needlessly skimming past pedestrians, it doesn't bode well. In fact it makes the lot of you look like every other kid that's bought their first fixie and now thinks they're a courier.
Frankly I was trying to stay away from anyone I was unsure of at the RHC, and the constant crashes justified that. Not saying you're bad cyclists or anything, but going round regents park and that doesn't really teach you how to ride in a group at pace safely and I've never seen any of you at a velodrome or in a road race (you could have been, I just haven't seen it).
I think you came across better than I was expecting at the RHC, unlike that weapon in the attaquer kit who nearly skidded in to me.
