Hip Hop Skid Bikes / Hipster Sleds / HHSB

Sorry, I misread your post. I was looking for nylon or generally animal free double straps, not clips. I'm all clipless now anyway!

Yogurt weaver thread >>>>

You scamp.

I'm using clips and straps on my commuter at the moment and they're shit. If I pull up to skid my shoe just comes away from the pedal and slips out, or if it does stay in place the sole just bends and the pedal keeps rotating.

try swerving and locking up earlier so your back foot can apply more pressure than pulling up in the front... have noticed the more level pedals are when braking the better

been riding low psi tires with tread as of late on straps/toe cages when hopping is required to break traction

lol Sumo getting schooled by Skrtluv

Have you not seen his authoritative videos about how to skid Sumo mate?

｡ﾟ(TヮT)ﾟ｡

^^ Screen grabbed for future refrence.

Skrtluv... a video would be really really useful!

Yeah, I'm a visual learner. Please teach me.

I have to say I have a soft spot for skrtluv. No fucks given whatsoever no matter how much abuse is his thrown his way.

RE: pedal chat

I found RX-1s and Sylvans extremely uncomfortable because the end plates are raised significantly above the level of the pedal body - they're designed for trackies with stiff soles, not skidrahs with vans.

GR-9's are nice, but too slim on my huge meat-plate feet.
The White Industries Urban pedals are nice, but as TM said, absolute nonsense in the wet.

Retraps/Hold Fasts and big, broad BMX pedals are probably the comfiest / most secure non-clipless system, to be perfectly honest. I don't like the look of them, but then again I am clip less 4 life and don't give a care.

I sort of like the decals.
