Help!

hello

i built a fixed gear bike and i cant skid the stupid thing.
it has no brakes and i need to learn how to stop the thing.

i am not a complete muppet on a bike and cant understand why i cant skid the back wheel? i am probably just a weed ?

anyway, is there anyone out there willing to show me how to do it? i am in hove and cycle about on the seafront now and then.. 5pm or weekend... will happily pay beer for any good lessson!

yo, j

1. get a brake.
   
2. you are a complete muppet. you are endangering your own life and health and others.

do it in socks in the kitchen

i dont want brakes
i know i am a muppet,
i dont want links ... i want to skid my bike about
socks in the kitchen... now there is an idea!

another piss take thread. lame as

go the the racecourse.

ride down Elm Grove.

you WILL learn to skid on that hill.

i don't want to see a post in the rider down forum in two weeks about a fixie(non)skidder hipster in brighton.

the links tell you how to skid, you fool.

1.At least he has a sense of humor...

2.Get a brake you muppet! You could kill your self or someone else!

3.Just put your balls on the stem, lean all your weight onto the front wheel and lock your legs when they are flat. Pull up with your right leg on the clip and push with your left, (Or vice versa)
You cant go wrong.

1. and UTFS before posting threads on this forum. Unless you want to be the this weeks muppet of the week.
   

1. take 30 steps back from the wall
   
2. close your eyes
   
3. cycle as fast as you can
   
4. skid before you hit a wall
   
   

repeat

go the the racecourse.

ride down Elm Grove.

you WILL learn to skid on that hill.

YEAH, thats the ticket!

Then come and have a beer with us.

Seriously, the best way to learn would be to find a steep hill.....

Are they taking early nominations for the Darwin Awards?

shit i have tried all of this, it just aint working yet!
i tried going down the hill behind the station and almost crapped myself,
might get a couple of brakes and some gears but don't really want to yet
sorry it grates you rpm... life goes on :)

Not for you if you can't ride your bike.

geta front brake at least mate, specially if you don't wanna just ride up and down the seafront- if you take a big hill and can't skid your gonna be fucked, or fuck somone else up

Are you sure that you build a bike with a fixed wheel and not a free wheel?

is it definately fixed wheel?
check you haven't got a freewheel or have forgotten to fit the chain.

2 then 1 (in that order - although I might go back and do 2 again).

Bakery ride! DO IT!

Put a coaster brake on Mr J, no-one will be able to tell you're not riding fixed and you can do wicked skidz!

Coaster brake FTW!

The swobo-coaster has done many 'wickkid skiddz' in and around brighton. Coaster brakes are awesome!

Used to ride a super long old raleigh, front brake was broken, gear hub was broken, but oh sweet coaster brake.
Piece of advice: try the underpass that smells like piss next to the seafront flat bit, the most skidable spot I know, just don't fall and stand next to me afterwards
