Its funny how I don't see a great deal of stuff on skidding, considering its one of the reasons I love riding a fixie! So anyone who is good at it, I thought I'd ask for some advice! I can skid on my fixie, but I'm left with bruises on my stomach as I have one of these stems: http://velosolo.co.uk/zenithgc.html
As I lean forward that either jabs my leg, stomach or junk. Does anyone have any advice on how to stop this happening? I'm sure I've seen fixie riders on youtube with similar stems skidding like badmen! I'm tempted to buy one of these instead: http://velosolo.co.uk/kalin.html
The only thing with that is my bars will be much closer to my seat, and therefore I'll be a lot more upright. Does anyone else have experience with those types of stems, or any advice at all? THANKS! :)
