Gear ratio effect on stopping/skidding

@iro_dan, I would agree with most of what you said especially the last bit about riding the bike and not worrying about if you are doing things properly.

But that kind of contradicts what you say about only doing tricks on proper BMX or street/jump bikes.

sorry mate, didn't mean to ignore this - going blind. Bloody design work.. I can barely see by the end of the day.

I'm all for the 'just go ride' attitude.. I suppose I was just talking about riding progressing , and the only way you can really push something is by choosing the right equipment.. actually, thats not quite right, I think i meant not being held back/handicapped by your equipment..

but anyway.. skids and all that.. sorry fuji bloke for hi jacking your thread..
