How can you skid / How to do skids / skidding

cjay you've only been on the forum for 1 month
i don't think it's time for skidz quite yet
do some compass beers meet some new friends
then and only then it might be time for mad skidz

yes, you haven't passed your lfgss proficiency test yet, it's illegal to skid unsupervised before this

what position is your skid switch in? on the 88 peugots I think the toggle should be just under the bottom bracket shell.

make sure it's set to on (pointing forwards). otherwise you'll only be able to skid backwards.

It's got gears but it's a fixie I think

hahaha I've been on the forum before for quite a while, just not with this name.
Thanks for helping me procrastinate but EU law prevails.

Cjay your post has come along at an pretty unfortunate time. There's another thread currently doing well in viewing rankings and your question is very 'on topic'

I'd tell you what it was but that'd sort of spoil it really.

have you been on this forum before it was cool?

*when it was cooooool

Damn, I have to go to work, I don't want to leave! Have fun without me guys...

It's got gears, one forward, one reverse.

Now should this be merged into the other skid threads or the "Shit fixie skidderz say" thread?

But he ain't a fixie skidder cuz he can't pull off teh mad skidz innit? Maybe when he's learnt to woo the ladeez with his burnt rubber cock screaming douchenut skidz then we can put it in the skidderz thread.

Been away from this forum for a few days and this is the first threat that I encounter. I'm leaving for a few more days...

I've had a look but I can't see anything; it's quite dirty. Do I need to remove the bottom bracket? I've got all the tools

Skidz galore

Pah!

wait what colour is the frame?

erm. Black, with orange decals.

i think you need a supreme sticker on your bike that will help the skidding problem...

Do you have orange tyres? could be where you are going wrong...

Well I have a white one and a green one. My old black tyres skidded a lot easier. Wait, tyres are the metal circle things with the spokes, right?

ahh, that explains everything. there was a recall for the black/orange peugots in 88 due to a wiring fault in the skid switches causing them to spontaneously combust. they were all removed and the holes filled in.

you might be able to get a NOS skid switch kit intended for an earlier model but I can imagine there'd be a lot of work involved in getting it to play nicely with the 88 skid inducers. it'd definitely be a job for a qualified mechanic.

take it to your local halfords and see what they say...

Does this ^ help at all?

^^^ Ah mate! You've overcooked it now. You had a boat load and you let em all go.
