2012-05-06 - Tokyo Fixed & Chipotle Present "The Hunt" - Fixed Gear Criterium Race

+1 On that comment.

Some of the riders complaint largely about the lack of experience of some others. You could just hear them screaming "hold the line". Others even did some skids...

Having a break could have been even worse.

Surely if everyone has a brake, everyone can slow down. much better than some people being able to slow down brakeless, and some not.

Saying that, i didn't watch the race.

^^Absolutely. All crashes happened because some riders were careless about people behind in the pack. Nothing to do with not having a break. The same happens in road races with both brakes. Also riders were letting know of their whereabouts by shouting "on your left/right", which helped.

Looking forward to a next race like this. Many thanks to all organizers, supporters and marshals.

It would even better if you changed the format to "Braklezz Wars".
The last man standing is a winner. Simple rules: first blood - out, broken limb - out, cut open head - out, sudden death - out, consideration - out.

Give them hammers and call it Polo?

I for one can't wait for the fixed gear brakeless 'cross season to start.

What's the point of this argument? No one is forcing you to enter this race.

I've been waiting to try out my new time machine.

Very good. So it's all sorted then.

It will only result in a sudden spurt of post in the collar bone thread.

For unicorn jerseys come to vienna, ride with us or send us a massage on fb or meet us in milano for rhc http://rideunicorn.tumblr.com/ the posted ones are sold out, new design will be different.
The Hunt was a race, so accidents can happen - if you are not used to ride without brakes or to ride high speed on fixed it is probably not the best to enter such an event.

I meant similar format, where mad people riding without brakes.

LondonCycleSport dudes video comentary is always LOLtastic.

Watching this video is like sitting outside LMNH on a Friday afternoon.

No wonder there were crashes if people were pulling moves like the guy who swerves at 3:17-3:20.

The worst behaviour of the day was from the beardy Italian above, on the finish line at the final. Shameful blocking off of the guy who finished second, allowing his mate to win. Shameful celebrating in the second-placed guy's face afterwards.

I just watched the video and it said that guy was being lapped at the time. If so, what a clown.

Yeah he was, it didn't look so bad in that video but it seemed it at the time.

The guy who finished second was livid as well, he just came off straight away and started throwing his helmet around. He didn't seem to speak a word of English, if he did I think he'd have made more of a fuss.

It looked suspiciously like a lead out from a lapped rider to me. But hey, I guess maybe that is all part of the 'unconventional' character of the event.

courier's race?

They should have done it on road bikes.

courier's race?

You prefer "messengers"?

No.

How many of the racers were professional couriers? And even if it was over 50%, since when were criteriums called courier races?

Oh.

Fakenger race then.

They should have done it on road bikes.

brklzzzzzzzzzzzz road bikes

They should have done it on road bikes.

Don't be stupid.

They should have done it wearing top hats, on tall bikes. With a mandatory checkpoint every lap where they had to drink a bottle of absinthe.

courier's race?

You prefer "messengers"?

No.

It should of course be "couriers' race".
