TrixieDix..?

Four years of riding fixed and still can't do a trackstand. Looking at videos and reading instructions isn't working for me, need someone who can do it to show me how and give me a bit of confidence.

Friday is best for me as I'm working in K'bridge up till about 7.00 ish and central. Off on holiday next week but back at the end of July.

hm, Friday is starting to look good for a few people.

I'll foind out how to put up a frickin poll shall I? ;)

no idea how brummie got in there.

"find", not "foind". What would my poor old mam think?

smells like fish and taste like chicken you don't know what you've been lickin'

Stef, when are you going to have your coming out party? All your misogynistic negative attitudes towards women show that you are obviously way more into men than women! Just come out of the closet then you can relax all the shit-talking about women and start just being able to be positive about men.
Maybe you and AFDS dude can have your coming out party together?

on a more positive note, can I come to TrixieDix if I wear jeans and a tshirt?

At this point I'm a pretty ace teacher of skids and trackstands!

ah..... the magic word - teacher.........:)

has a location/time been chosen yet as i need to get better (but i can trackstand and skid)

when's this happening? it's time i learned how to do over-the-handlebar skids. And no-handed skids. and wheelies. And through-the frame trackstands. OR none of the above.

Just bailed trying to do a wheelie (on a friends bike!). Ripped a new hole in my shorts (that Shinscar just fixed). Blast! Get back Friday. Think I'm up for falling some more though.

ok so this should get organised for this week, weather is looking bad so probably best to try and find somewhere indoors or covered

i think central is probably the best location, maybe somewhere close to central drinks although tricks that involve balance are hindered by alcohol

so if anyone knows of a place which is quite large, covered this would be a good place to start

hmm, can't we do tuesday too? i know its the chix night, but since its exclusive why not just do the same night? us chixengers need something to do when the ladies are all out together! :D

you'll have to do what us single people do every night...

no, not that :)

ok tuesday it is, i think this is a fair idea?

where to go? the more variety the place has the better, ramps are nver bad and banked surfaces

name? my best thought was "Tricks, no chicks!" this i realise is not that great so lets here the other options

You guys could go here, (kennington bowl) it not central central but i's only just over the river 5 min from waterloo. Frequently quiet, Lange flat surface in the middle mellow bank.

Matt (! - words will be had) and Seb - you're really serious about excluding girls/Trixie Chix, huh?

"Are there any women here today?"

Seb - you're really serious about excluding girls/Trixie Chix, huh?

if there are no girls we can let our gutts hang out, fart and burp as much as we want

also men won't feel the need to impress women with their skills, then fail epically and then be sad because of it. It's merely to protect their egos

what about this ones?

so has a time and place been set?

am very interested in coming along and finding new ways to fall off my bike and hurt myself

can be a bit of a klutz at times, but definitely want to try to learn more control

this is a great idea pyjamas. im in!

there is a few little banks in london fields by the ping pong table

where is the ping pong table?

i'm not looking for any exclusivity based on gender, just thought that if the girls are getting together then why not the boys at the same time? saves an evening with either partner out the house. as for the name, i don't really like the trixie dix or anything that goes along them (gender) lines, so how's about something like 'Trick Tuesday', kinda like Fast Friday. ... just a thought.
