pushing in your legs actually really really helps, i kept on forgetting about that when i started to skid like this. i'd be able to get it without pushing in but it'd just be harder...it acts like a wall that takes a lot of force that your pedal needs in order to move it.
i was at 46:17, geared up to 46:16 (current ratio) then will gear up to 46:15 and then i wanna gear up to 53:16..sounds like a plan to me
@pinoixboi Sick dude! And yea, without pushing in your legs, there's not that much leverage. It's like trying to push a dresser with your legs when you don't have a wall to sit against.
Yea dude, 53 : 16 is nice but honestly dude, from my experience of riding 95+ gear inches for over a year, it's not worth it. Hahaha, it's fun and makes your legs huge but in the end, riding in the 85 range of gear inches is the best.
I honestly think that you should just skip the 46 : 15 and go straight to
@pinoixboi Actually, I take that back. Go to 46 : 15 and then after a month or two, gear up to 53 : 16. And THEN I think that you should just stay at that ratio, it's really nice. Not too heavy and not too light, right in the middle.
You're plan sounds good. :] I used to plan out my ratios like that.
my friend who used to just mash all over town told me he loved that ratio haha
it's only been like a week or so since i geared up and i'm already pretty used to it so i'll probably end up gearing up to 46:15 pretty soon...going to spin classes definitely beefs your legs up hahaha
@pinoixboi Yea dude, I just ride hills all day and that seems to have an effect on my legs. ;] And yea dude, honestly, it's not that big of a jump, 46 : 15 is manageable and I'm sure that if you did it right now, you'd be fine.
@pinoixboi And yea dude. That's a pure mashing ratio but hills wouldn't be terrible with it. I'm currently on 48 : 15 and I want to go to 50 : 15. Really close to 53 : 16.
i wanted to go with 53:16 since i kinda skid a lot, should probably run a brake later but it's whatever for now, cause with that ratio i'll end up with 16 skid patches...if i could skid both ways i'd have 32 so my tires won't wear out as fast, and they're pretty cheap tires like 15 bucks at Performance
@pinoixboi Yea dude. I have a 55t Sugino Zen and I hate not using it because I've wanted it for years! So I really wanna go to 55 : 17 which apparently isn't that different than all of the ratios we've been talking about. Hahaha.
And yea dude, with that ratio, not having a brake won't be that big of a deal and neither will tires.
55:17 actually sounds pretty good too! right in the middle of 53:16 and 54:17 haha and yeah tires won't really be much a problem since they'll be skidding in different spots a good majority of the time
where do you get your parts man? local shops? online?
@pinoixboi Online. I got the Zen off of tracksupermarket . com and payed WAYY too much for it. Get my frames locally, usually from friends. Thomson Elite always comes from Ebay, same with saddles. I buy wheels locally from friends also. I buy my cranks locally or form City Grounds, local fixed gear shop. And then depending on the bars, locally or off of Ebay.
there's not too many bike shops here, one is a total ripoff with horrible customer service, and the other shop is mainly for fixed gear freestyle, nothing wrong with it it's just that it doesn't suit my needs haha
all my friends or people at my school are all into the tricking scene so...that doesn't really help either haha
Other than eBay and tracksupermarket, are there any other online stores that you recommend?
@pinoixboi citygrounds . com, bikeisland . com seems pretty good for some things, and that's all that I can think of. :/ And yea dude, there's a shop that does a lot of FGFS and City Grounds is both.
And yea dude, everyone is into the free style scene and I don't get it. I think that mashing and mashing bikes are just way cooler.
thanks dude i'll be sure to look at those sites sometime when i get some money for some new parts...could definitely use some hahaha
lol i always get made fun of by this one kid at my school simply because i'm not in the freestyle scene and i just wanna ride around everywhere haha. my friends always invite me to go "ride" with them which is just going to a spot and tricking there for an hour or so, cruise to another spot rinse wash and repeat...just not my forte.
@pinoixboi Hahaha, if he makes fun of you then he's an idiot. Hahaha.
But yea, I agree with you. :] I always let everyone talk because I know that if it was me, them, and 1000m, they wouldn't stand a chance. ;]
But yea dude, I remember back in my early days when I used to trick. I'd still kinda ride fast but just 3 or 4 miles to the trick spot and then hang with a bunch of free stylers. I didn't mind it either.
@Chaneneduck Hahaha, well, when it comes to learning how to skid, you should be fine with that ratio. If you ever get good at it and want to start riding a lot faster, than yea, you should get like, a 48t chainring or something.
Nice tutorial man! learned to skid after watching this vid a couple times haha. Also, how is regular city riding with your disk cover? I heard side winds could be a bitch but I wanna slap one of em on just for looks lol.
And dude, the rear disc causes no problems at all! Now, if you were to ride a front disc or a front really deep wheel, THAT would create some slight complications. But in the rear, it's literally no problem at all.
The only thing that I'd warn you about is riding without hands on REALLY windy days. On really, it's fine in all other circumstances.
Saddle angle is incorrect, bar angle is incorrect, your nostrils are HUGE, your frame sizing is inappropriately matched for your height, skidding is a hazard, and you should never ride a bike without brakes. God, hipsters these days....
god dicks that should really keep their mouth shut because they have never heard of if you have nothing nice to say then dont say anything at all these days.
@bombingguy33 Youre a fucking idiot, I know Jdawg4334 in real life, we're really good mates. I think that if you don't know the circumstances that lie behind a comment, then you should keep your mouth shut.
Do you skid clipless? Ive been thinking to switch over to clipless cause my feet keep slipping out of my strap/clips. have you had the problem where your foot unclips while skidding?
@SigmaLuna Yea, like, less than 5 times in the last 6 months. It's honestly not that big of a deal and it's never happened while bombing a hill or anything like that.
But yea dude, one time I was riding up hill and as I pulled up on my strap while it was coming around, it slipped out of the cages and that's when I decided to go clipless and I absolutely love it! I highly recommend it.
@byDanbo Hahaha, well, I probably can't help you because I spend thousands on my bike. Hahaha. If you want it to truly be nice, then you're honestly gonna have to be willing to drop a couple of bills on it.
But if you check craigslist and stuff, Mercier Kilo TTs are amazing bikes and I think that they make the best starter bikes! You should look into them! I wouldn't recommend anything else!
54:17, how's that sound in the mood to go a bit faster. just new to this ratio deal. The smaller the crank teeth the easier it is to mash, and the bigger the cog, the faster? Been reading around but everyone makes it sound so difficult.
I just picked up a retrospect fixie last week. Pretty much got the hang of it just want something that's good for cruising and doing skids and wheels every now and then. The crank is 48t right now. What would you recomend would be a reasonable crank set up.
@mrbocanegraw Sick dude! And do you mean what gear ratio you should run? Well, for the last several months, I've ridden 54 : 16, 54 : 15, 48 : 13, 55 : 15, and 48 : 15 (I rode 48 : 15 for the first time today) and honestly dude, after running sper high gears for a long time and all of the sudden trying a lower gear, I really forgot how nice and convenient a low gear is. So I'll definitely recommend in the 17t / 18t cog area. Maybe even 16t / 15t if you wanna go a little faster.
U shld post a vid on a how too that back wheel not everyone has mad cash around to spend ...jus a thought but as i was looking closer i can see some what were the zips are holding but not sure..either way nice job ...
@johnRc1963 I totally agree with you man. I actually ride with a brake but now have a fork with no brake drilling so I've been eating through tires quick! It's annoying.
@209Hai Hahaha, can't you tell? I didn't have any piercings, I wasn't 90 pounds, I didn't smoke a pack by the end of the video, I wasn't wearing fake Ray Bans with non-tinted lenses, I wasn't wearing a v neck that showed my belly button, I wasn't wearing a NeverShoutNever cardigan over that, and my hair wasn't dyed jet black with a can of hairspray used on it. Hahaha.
@209Hai Hahaha, well, I'm not gonna create some crazy list of stereotypical characteristics of a hipster but I'm not a hipster. Let's just say that I never tried to eat the pizza before it was 'cool.'
@209Hai Hahaha, well, I'm not gonna create some crazy list of stereotypical characteristics of a hipster but I'm not a hipster. Let's just say that I never tried to eat the pizza before it was 'cool.'
@Prox1015 Look at the Kona Paddy Wagon, it's a good fixed gear bike to start from. You can find them pretty cheap and you get a lot of bike for the price.
@smith34n i got money i dont worry to much about that i just need a bike for the streets cuz too much traffic here in LA so yeah you say that bike is good for that or wat?
gotta love people encouraging "safer" ways to illegally ride your bike/stop in the perfect way to destroy your knees...
ps they make different pedal cage lengths for different size feet. draw an imaginary line from the center of your first metatarsal to your fifth metatarsal. that line sits on your pedal spindle.
@dillonmccarver Hahaha, I know, I know. But if you run brakeless, you've gotta do something right? I actually run with a brake now, so yea.
And yea, I know that the cage size is relative to your foot size, but when skidding, the deeper your foot is in the cage, the better the straps will grip to your foot, you get me?
But yea, I agree. Brakes all the way. Hahaha.
But I will disagree with the knee destruction. At least I'M fine... Hahaha.
@TheCheesyCheesus hey cheesycheesus fixed gears are designed for constant elevation, not hills, they belong on the velodrome with dropped bars, its an actual sport not a hobby fool, its called track cycling, watch it sometime, london olympics this year, cant wait, chris hoy all the way
@esemoose Haha, this bike has road geometry dude; it's not meant for the track. I have a Planet X track frame now; THAT bike is meant for the track and I ride it at the Home Depot center a couple times a week.
@jdawg4334 now the planet x bike you definately dont deserve hahaha, im sorry man, youre just a kid with no respect for the sport, to you its just a nice bike, im guessing you dont have a nice car
@esemoose No, I don't have a nice car. Cars are pointless when you're someone like me (doesn't have to commute 50+ miles a day) so getting a nice one would be even more pointless. And to me, it's not just a nice bike, it's a bike that will not hold me back in terms of my improvement. It's an investment that will hold it's end in the bargin later in life. I have pride, dude. I'm not gonna ride this piece of crap 700 dollar and feel like I didn't half ass myself. I believe in always going all out
@esemoose so having a nice bike has to do with my characteristic of being the best; succeeding with quality; not settling for a B+; I have to have the A. You feel me?
I'm not just some kid who gets a nice bike and shows it off. I love cycling, I've been cycling for 3 years now, I ride a couple hundred miles a week and take classes at the Home Depot center. I'm actually serious about cycling dude, it's a lifestyle for me and I'm never going to give it up.
@esemoose Pyrenees is where true winners show themselves, Lance Armstrong, Alberto Contador, Andy Schleck, Cadel Evans.... first 12 stages are there so sprinters dont feel left out..... Do you even follow ProTour cycling? All GCs involve monsterous climbs....the Giro, Tour de France... you could list all the climbs all day.....smartass
@esemoose Hahaha, although I use a brake, I'm pretty sure that I'm still better than you. And btw, that bike is a piece of crap; you're right, I don't deserve it.
@jdawg4334 btw, with the exception of your idiotic bars, that bike is a majesty, the geometry isnt great but its still a fast bike and that disc wheel and 50 mm (is it 50mm?) deep v only makes it faster, youre an idiot and ignorant to think your bike is "a piece of crap," i think it is you who are just slow
@esemoose Pay attention to the video, I said that I changed the angle shortly after the posting of this video. I was just trying to copy Jason Maggied.
And yes, the geometry was terrible.
That disc is made out of card board and that front wheel (42mm) is an H+Son Formation Face.
That frame retailed for 200, the back wheel was worth 50 and the front was worth 150, and I had Sugino Messengers on it. It was a shit bike. You must have a terrible bike if you think that it's nice.
@jdawg4334 i reached 40 mph on a 1981 miyata road bike, be grateful is what im saying you spoiled kid, its still a marvelous bike, and my bike is priced comfortably at 700 so dont you worry about me, and 22 mph, im sorry to say is not an acceptable speed for the exceptional cyclist that you say you are
@esemoose And I reached 47mph with my Planet x. And I'm spoiled? That's pretty funny because I work and have payed for every single thing on my bike myself.
And yes, I know that 22mph is bull crap. I'd like to see you keep up anything faster than that on 46 : 17 for 40 miles, it's very difficult; hence, my higher ratio that I commute with.
@esemoose My Planet X retails for 1000, I have Mavic Ellipses which go for 600, I have Sram Omniums with a 55t Sugino Zen chainring, I have Profile Cobra Wing base bars with Profile Design ZBS straight aerobars, a full carbon saddle, a Super Toughness chain, and Dura Ace PD-7900 pedals. Compared to my current bike, this bike was worthless.
Keep acting like you know everything, my man. People who know how to skid like this video have been around for a while and mean business...
@jdawg4334 haha youre fucking ridiculous with your 55 teeth hahaha, i cant believe you even confessed that to me, how many teeth do you have in the back? im really curious to know.. i cyclist in the san diego track cycling association you idiot, i STUMBLED across your video, you want to learn how to ride.. find your nearest velodrome, join their team and race as speeds well over 30 mph.. it seems the track bike has lost its meaning with people like you
@esemoose Uhhmmm, dude, I already told you that I race the Home Depot center a couple times a week. And I actually don't spend 90% of my time on the Apron like how you probably do. And I don't need a track to ride at over 30 mph, I already do that on the streets.
@esemoose I'm pretty sure that most professional cyclists ride several different ratios. I haven't met one serious track rider without a 13 - 17 cog and 48 - 53 chainring. A lot of track cyclists that I know do pursuits with 95+ gear inches. It's not the ratio, it's the inches that ratio produces and at 97 gear inches, it's not that uncommon.
And why would it even matter, am I supposed to do every single little thing that the pros do?
I think the reason why not many people skid is because it will wear out the rear tires quickly.. I do skid from time to time, but I usually choose not to..
what is the song name in this video?

pushing in your legs actually really really helps, i kept on forgetting about that when i started to skid like this. i'd be able to get it without pushing in but it'd just be harder...it acts like a wall that takes a lot of force that your pedal needs in order to move it.
i was at 46:17, geared up to 46:16 (current ratio) then will gear up to 46:15 and then i wanna gear up to 53:16..sounds like a plan to me

@byDanbo Hahaha, well, I probably can't help you because I spend thousands on my bike. Hahaha. If you want it to truly be nice, then you're honestly gonna have to be willing to drop a couple of bills on it.
But if you check craigslist and stuff, Mercier Kilo TTs are amazing bikes and I think that they make the best starter bikes! You should look into them! I wouldn't recommend anything else!
jdawg4334 2 weeks ago
@byDanbo And you can get them for cheap too! My buddy got a really nice one for $210!

54:17, how's that sound in the mood to go a bit faster. just new to this ratio deal. The smaller the crank teeth the easier it is to mash, and the bigger the cog, the faster? Been reading around but everyone makes it sound so difficult.
mrbocanegraw 2 weeks ago
@mrbocanegraw Hahaha, I love that ratio, heavy but not too heavy.
And here's all you need to know my friend.
Bigger chainring: harder to pedal; less rpms; higher top speed.
Smaller chainring: easier to pedal; more rpms; lower top speed.
Bigger cog: easier to pedal; more rpms; lower top speed.
Smaller cog: harder to pedal; less rpms; higher top speed.

I just picked up a retrospect fixie last week. Pretty much got the hang of it just want something that's good for cruising and doing skids and wheels every now and then. The crank is 48t right now. What would you recomend would be a reasonable crank set up.
mrbocanegraw 3 weeks ago
@mrbocanegraw Sick dude! And do you mean what gear ratio you should run? Well, for the last several months, I've ridden 54 : 16, 54 : 15, 48 : 13, 55 : 15, and 48 : 15 (I rode 48 : 15 for the first time today) and honestly dude, after running sper high gears for a long time and all of the sudden trying a lower gear, I really forgot how nice and convenient a low gear is. So I'll definitely recommend in the 17t / 18t cog area. Maybe even 16t / 15t if you wanna go a little faster.
jdawg4334 2 weeks ago
@mrbocanegraw But the 15t and 16t will make wheelies and skids harder to do.

gotta love people encouraging "safer" ways to illegally ride your bike/stop in the perfect way to destroy your knees...
ps they make different pedal cage lengths for different size feet. draw an imaginary line from the center of your first metatarsal to your fifth metatarsal. that line sits on your pedal spindle.
dillonmccarver 1 month ago
@dillonmccarver Hahaha, I know, I know. But if you run brakeless, you've gotta do something right? I actually run with a brake now, so yea.
And yea, I know that the cage size is relative to your foot size, but when skidding, the deeper your foot is in the cage, the better the straps will grip to your foot, you get me?
But yea, I agree. Brakes all the way. Hahaha.
But I will disagree with the knee destruction. At least I'M fine... Hahaha.

@esemoose Haha, this bike has road geometry dude; it's not meant for the track. I have a Planet X track frame now; THAT bike is meant for the track and I ride it at the Home Depot center a couple times a week.
jdawg4334 1 month ago
@jdawg4334 now the planet x bike you definately dont deserve hahaha, im sorry man, youre just a kid with no respect for the sport, to you its just a nice bike, im guessing you dont have a nice car
esemoose 1 month ago
@esemoose No, I don't have a nice car. Cars are pointless when you're someone like me (doesn't have to commute 50+ miles a day) so getting a nice one would be even more pointless. And to me, it's not just a nice bike, it's a bike that will not hold me back in terms of my improvement. It's an investment that will hold it's end in the bargin later in life. I have pride, dude. I'm not gonna ride this piece of crap 700 dollar and feel like I didn't half ass myself. I believe in always going all out
jdawg4334 1 month ago
@esemoose so having a nice bike has to do with my characteristic of being the best; succeeding with quality; not settling for a B+; I have to have the A. You feel me?
I'm not just some kid who gets a nice bike and shows it off. I love cycling, I've been cycling for 3 years now, I ride a couple hundred miles a week and take classes at the Home Depot center. I'm actually serious about cycling dude, it's a lifestyle for me and I'm never going to give it up.
I have respect for my authorities and

jdawg4334 1 month ago
@jdawg4334 btw, with the exception of your idiotic bars, that bike is a majesty, the geometry isnt great but its still a fast bike and that disc wheel and 50 mm (is it 50mm?) deep v only makes it faster, youre an idiot and ignorant to think your bike is "a piece of crap," i think it is you who are just slow
esemoose 1 month ago
@esemoose Pay attention to the video, I said that I changed the angle shortly after the posting of this video. I was just trying to copy Jason Maggied.
And yes, the geometry was terrible.
That disc is made out of card board and that front wheel (42mm) is an H+Son Formation Face.
That frame retailed for 200, the back wheel was worth 50 and the front was worth 150, and I had Sugino Messengers on it. It was a shit bike. You must have a terrible bike if you think that it's nice.
jdawg4334 1 month ago
@jdawg4334 i reached 40 mph on a 1981 miyata road bike, be grateful is what im saying you spoiled kid, its still a marvelous bike, and my bike is priced comfortably at 700 so dont you worry about me, and 22 mph, im sorry to say is not an acceptable speed for the exceptional cyclist that you say you are
esemoose 1 month ago
@esemoose And I reached 47mph with my Planet x. And I'm spoiled? That's pretty funny because I work and have payed for every single thing on my bike myself.
And yes, I know that 22mph is bull crap. I'd like to see you keep up anything faster than that on 46 : 17 for 40 miles, it's very difficult; hence, my higher ratio that I commute with.
jdawg4334 1 month ago
@esemoose My Planet X retails for 1000, I have Mavic Ellipses which go for 600, I have Sram Omniums with a 55t Sugino Zen chainring, I have Profile Cobra Wing base bars with Profile Design ZBS straight aerobars, a full carbon saddle, a Super Toughness chain, and Dura Ace PD-7900 pedals. Compared to my current bike, this bike was worthless.
Keep acting like you know everything, my man. People who know how to skid like this video have been around for a while and mean business...

@jdawg4334 haha youre fucking ridiculous with your 55 teeth hahaha, i cant believe you even confessed that to me, how many teeth do you have in the back? im really curious to know.. i cyclist in the san diego track cycling association you idiot, i STUMBLED across your video, you want to learn how to ride.. find your nearest velodrome, join their team and race as speeds well over 30 mph.. it seems the track bike has lost its meaning with people like you
esemoose 1 month ago
@esemoose Uhhmmm, dude, I already told you that I race the Home Depot center a couple times a week. And I actually don't spend 90% of my time on the Apron like how you probably do. And I don't need a track to ride at over 30 mph, I already do that on the streets.
jdawg4334 1 month ago
@esemoose And I ride 55 : 15. Why can you not believe that I confessed that to you?
jdawg4334 1 month ago
@jdawg4334 thats a ridiculous ratio, can you name me one professional cyclist that rides with that ratio?
esemoose 1 month ago
@esemoose I'm pretty sure that most professional cyclists ride several different ratios. I haven't met one serious track rider without a 13 - 17 cog and 48 - 53 chainring. A lot of track cyclists that I know do pursuits with 95+ gear inches. It's not the ratio, it's the inches that ratio produces and at 97 gear inches, it's not that uncommon.
And why would it even matter, am I supposed to do every single little thing that the pros do?
jdawg4334 1 month ago
@esemoose Fast bike! Hahah, didn't you hear my ratio? I'd spin out at 22mph with that ratio!!
jdawg4334 1 month ago
I think the reason why not many people skid is because it will wear out the rear tires quickly.. I do skid from time to time, but I usually choose not to..
