ginger allen echo Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 (edited) I saw this on Extreme sports about two weeks ago, not this video but of people racing through the streets of america on fixed wheel bikes.Edit. Just watched the video, some of the stuff looks so fun to do Edited August 21, 2009 by ginger allen echo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben John-Hynes Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 What the F**K just happened!? That was awesome! Bet that slopey horse was a lot more angular than it looked! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 That was remarkably cool, however it can't be cool because -1) Fat Pants is going to try to use this to prove fixies are cool, which they aren't, and that fixie tricks are cool, which they aren't2) It was done on the gayest bike ever. If it was a fixed street mtb, it would be awesome, but on a roadie thing, no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve-A Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 I like. I wonder what he'll try next? Tandem stunts?That said, I'm most interested in seeing him ride a normal trials bike again, and see him incorporate all the skills he's learnt by riding brakeless/fixed gear/tandem.I also agree with revolver, that it would have been more interesting had he used his normal bike but with fixed gear.

haydon_peter Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 That was entertaining That horse is the Westbury White Horse, it is very steep!I hadn't seen the 'Day at the seaside' or 'Golden nugget' videos either before, the stuff he is pulling off on the full sus bike in the 'Golden Nugget' video is awesome!

Mark W Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 It was interesting seeing more 'trialsy' stuff done on a fixie. I've seen Ted do insane things on his fixie (takes the piss when you see someone do a hop bars and a 360 hop super clean on one, as well as really fast pedal grinds, tree riders, etc.), but it always just makes me think that the main reason it's 'good' is because it's done on a bike that obviously isn't suited to that task...

JohnyMilton Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 (edited) That was rad!Loved it, but its given me the urge to try it on my fixie, which will not end well! Edited August 21, 2009 by JohnyMilton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 Oh God, don't let FatPants see this. I'm with OBM on this - most of that stuff would have been simple on a trials bike. At least he made the usual fixie "stunt" riding people look (even more) like retards.I did like the hop-to-wheelie though. That was good.

Greetings Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 I'm not a fan of his vids because they're mostly crap and don't consist of any riding, but after the first 1:30 were gone I was absolutely amazed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
