Newcastle fixed gear tricking

Yeah, they weren't that impressive and it was really very terrifying. Done some stairs and bunnyhops on my new bike like, mainly 'cos I'm not scared it'll snap under me.

How about a bit of inspiration?

fairplay on the whole "fixed gear tricking is gash - get a bmx blah blah blah"
going fast is simple, i do that every time i ride, i want to take my riding to the next level, so i practice trackstands (still acceptable to fixed riders), i get bored of trackstands, so i try something else, like a barspin, and people go apeshit?? i say open your mind and let people do what they wanna do, its all fun and games.......

Haha i was just kidding Tristan, I know first hand how people can get so protective over fixedgear tricks after i did that post on SHREDABILITY.Each to there own, i mean Iv got skateboarding for tricks If i didnt skate though then theres a chance that Id be doing tricks on my bike. Different strokes for different blokes.

haaa fair enough like, im just sick of eating shit for liking tricks :S
i hated bmx tricking, too 'clunky' if that makes sense. skating is the boyo mind, ive just found some old footage from when i was like 14, doing little rails, kickflips n stuff, good times

I'll be honest tristan, I completely disagree with your comment about bmx tricks looking 'too clunky', if anything id say bmx tricks on fixed gear bikes look a hell of alot clunkier(is that a word), stiff, sketchier and generally alot worse than when done on a bmx. But again thats just my opinion, we could carry this on forever!

ahh no i didnt mean looking clunky, meant clunky when i did them haha, heavy bike and all that.
meh il still always love bombing hills and doing skids more than other shit anyway

Looks like Tristan's keeping the fixed gear tricking scene alive in Newcastle ;)

And this thread!

haha cheers guys :)
im loving the trackstand variations atm, anyone know any cool ones?
still gutted that everyone hates tricks mind :(
we need a pics thread on the forum for rides n that blates.....
also, when the fook is round 3???

I did a forwards roll off my bike into a hedge on scottswood road the other day... does that count as a trick?

Did you stand up like this afterwards?

If you did then it definitely counts as a trick

i rekon the whole trick thing is mint, i think there should be more of it in newcastle, seen some videos of people doing it on youtube. all i need to do now is to learn, lol

welcome gtisteve! i think me and you are possibly the only people in newcastle that think this way, actually no phil likes tricks too, so that makes 3 of us......
trick session sometime soon?
peace

Kinda guessing peeps have seen this:

Not much but I can bunnyhop, x-up off monument, fakey (ride backwards).. Pretty much it, trying to be able to pull out some 180s. Attempted a foot jam whip but it wasnt happening for is.

And I can skid with one leg over the bars whatever that's called

Any one know of a decent freestyle frame going around for cheap? just want the frame at the moment.
