  • Seriously though I really want to see a person on a fixed put a front brake (a disc) on so they could do a stable endo ....

    Thus opening the possiblities of,

    []Stoppies.
    [
    ]Twisted Endos.
    []Rockfall Dropins.
    [
    ]Front Hops.
    [*]More Trials like stuff (though a lot of guys for some reason seem to hate trials on here).
    I would love to see someone hopping over bike stands and riding along railing on a fixed.

    Ok I have to respond to this because it cracked me up!, (without brakes) I am going to put a yes next to your list to all of the ones I have seen done on a fixed trick bike in the last month and people who've done them:

    1. Sano, ric of 4416.co.uk, BikeDestroyer Phil (although I would call them nose manuals as technically no brakes were used)
    2. About 10 people all doing these at trix last night! including me (kind of) I just learnt them, so not consistent yet, although I over rotated one and did like an endo 220 and slid out onto the ground haha.....that hurt a little.
    3. Chris Delia from FGL, only person i've seen do these so far, probably helps that he's a really good trials rider also and thats pretty much a mandatory trick if you ride trials!
    4. not front hops, I think they look shit anyways and are really easy, but I know about 4 people that can nollie (front wheel bunnyhop) off of loadsa shit:
      Ted, pepperoni (marco), Bikedestroyer (phil), and a couple of others I can't remember, I haven't really tried them yet but its something I intend to learn
    5. Not really sure about that, trials is probably one of the few areas of cycling where it is extremely difficult to do it on anything other than a trials specific bike, more so with trials specific gearing actually, which is so spinny it makes general riding shit/annoying/irritatingly slow, so thats probably why you don't see much trials style stuff done on fixed.

    Oh and riding a rail, you mean grinding a rail on a fixed gear right?
    Ask and ye shall recieve:
