Ultra smooth fixie skills

Rubbish, i've never broken a single bike part.

Careful now, this post will make everybody's lie detector iPhone app crack the screen.

In an effort to break an iPhone .... I think fixed tricks are awesome.

Ah 2007.

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.

Ive several years on a fixie and still am shit at trackstands
this makes me want to give up....

I started watching it originaly & thought, "I was doing surfers & shit like that on my bmx in the 80's" but then it just got a whole lot more tech & I was silenced ....

A lot of bmxer's are now starting to pick up fixed gear bikes, so I'd say in 12months the whole "trick" scene will be on a another planet...

"...bought a new cadillac"

no you didn't, you bought a new pushbike.

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?

Stable is the key word here.

I seen people do them in vids etc ... but not well ... looks clumsy, like they are going to lose it any minute. When I see most urban MTB stuff/trials the riders always looks slick and in control.

I respect the skill, but why not stick a front brake on and do it well instead of doing it badly?

Rollerblading might be fun-in-a-bun, but you're always gonna look like a total helmet doing it. burpsick

1996 called and it wants it's video compression back

The late 1970's called, they want their BMX tricks back, and their horrible t-shirts.
