Fixed Gear in bowls

[sevenstations]

Just noticed this was uploaded '07

Wayyy before fixed gear was "trendy"...

And mostly when people only rode them in velodromes. Which kind of makes sense how this dudes enjoying himself so much at the skatepark.

[sevenstations]

What song is this please?

[ChrisON3ill]

not a fixie...he's coasting

[1lsold]

...fucking lame

[hillyj77]

is that fixed? hmm

[sheeetahh]

coasting?

[hobbitwesty]

thats a single  speed not a fixie

[lacemoniter]

dude that is so cool i didnt know people could bring fixies anyway sweet skate park

[tommyogtigern]

fixies: for dudes who sucked at skate boarding and bmx who finally found there niche with all the other douche nozzle jocks at the university.

[pennyrock10]

dude on a skateboard when u go on the inverted thing its sooo tight.

[ljvasey]

hahah try dropping in not from the rollout if you think you're hard on a fixie

[aaronf4444]

where is this -state

[brainofbutler]

Cove Skatepark, Santa Monica.

California

[marki3b0y]

That's like knitting with custard.

[surf1on1]

you went inverted on that thing ??!!!

[opsucks]

i did it last week its fun.

[miandmy2]

what is the  song?

[alexpsheldon]

I can't believe he tried a foot plant on a fixed-gear bike - what did he think was going to happen?

[duder215]

okay thats to much!

i still get all the bar spin tricks

but if you're gonna do that why not get a bmx?

[sheeetahh]

@duder215 Why do you HAVE to ride bmx just because you want to do some tricks?

[freakfrown]

sa-weet! i didnt even think it would be possible to ride a fixie in a bowl this well. keep showing up pussy bmxers who cant peddle while they do their tricks! and all those haters are not even worth your time.

[MIGDHORSE]

@freakfrown

the difference is... the "pussy" bmxers actually do tricks. don't get me wrong, i ride fixed, but it's a disposition like this that perpetuates negative relationships between two different groups of people who love riding their bikes.

[weedbmx]

well if they get in my way at the local park because they are riding at 2km/hr, my momentum>their momentum, physics will take care of this situation.

[weedbmx]

absolutely brutal. please stop before you get unnecessarily hurt, because your stupid pedals wont stop spinning. honestly, making evolution work backwards is not a good idea.

[withmoxy]

Why are you talking shit about them? There having fun riding there fixies.

[dubman82]

this shits gayer than rollerblading, dare I say scootering?... answer, YES

[brainofbutler]

if i am a circus chimpanzee does that mean i can have sex with them without prosecution?

Monkeys are hottttt!!

[toastyovens]

You look like a circus chimpanzee. Really. You look ridiculous. Just look at yourself.

Fixies are for retarded idiots with the thought capability of a circus chimp because they do not have the brain capability and comprehension of the advantages of coasting on a bicycle.

You people look silly and are fucking dumb and too ignorant to realize it yourselves.

[withmoxy]

I hope you die, a slow a painful death necrotizing fasciitis.

[toastyovens]

Kill yourself!

[squareballalert]

this looks so fun!

[captainpolution]

shits wack!

[ChrisTarango]

what is the name of this song, who sings it?

[rory161192]

Is this a joke? If i saw this in my skatepark, id piss myself silly with laughter. You look constipated. Stop pretending, ride BMX in a skatepark. Stop ruining fixie riding, take it to the streets.

[brainofbutler]

actually it is a joke, hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hah

I am so fucking funny!

Okay, im will start riding bmx like every other bro, now, thanks for the advise.

[adambomb479]

this is sick, that's way cooler than riding bmx.

Why on rth do you care anyway? they're just having fun.

[TheILLTechnics]

That bike is waaaay to small for that dude.

[h2ored]

no, it's perfect for a fixie rider

[islaroot]

that was gay as hell

[brainofbutler]

gay as in happy?

yeah it is

[amterrorxp]

all the reasons given for riding fixed are fucking stupid.

[dcraver]

what is the song?

[piiiiiiip]

iwas there that night

[brainofbutler]

wait, faux hawks aren't cool?

please tell me more things i should or shouldn't be doing, i would hate to appear un-cool.

[RossingtonMichael]

people who ride fixed gears are trailblazers. hahah people who are quick to jump on trends were the same people walking around with faux hawks a few years ago. develeop a sense of self. adopt chidren not styles.

[jacob0acl]

lol dude ur a tool. u used that lrg quote... lame

[LightningStrikes89]

i think the proper term is a Hipster.

hahaha.

[brainofbutler]

for sure, you have to time it right though or your pedals will scrape. sketch when you put your feet in the clips

[samsamshultz]

Is it really possible to pump through transitions while having to peddle the whole time?

[beablader]

hey whats with this hate rollerbladers i single spedd and im a blader i just finished building my latest bike and me and my friends are into riding round on them nd stuff rollerbladers did nothing to u i prefer blading to biking but im not mean to bikers ( unless they bmx). you should be hating skateboarders they are the root of all evil

[brainofbutler]

hahahaha

that's funny.

[getthrilled]

looks like a good time

[gripunit]

good stuff... LAB represent!

[jamesfukinwillett]

get a real bike. and some water. for the pool.

[brainofbutler]

wow, that is fantastic advise!

Genius!

Maybe. i. should. start.putting. periods. after. every. thing. i. write. too. huh?.

[jamesfukinwillett]

good idea. got cables yet? and water?

[brainofbutler]

not. yet. i. am. still. trying. to get. used. to putting. periods. and question? marks? after. things. that. aren't. sentences.

[jamesfukinwillett]

good idea. Got a longer seatpost yet?

[theymightbegreat]

dude, longer seat post? do you know anything about bikes? there are obviously more kinds of bikes than the one your daddy rides to work every day.

[thammersocal]

easy brosef, does ur dad ride fixed to work? if so, thats pretty dope. yes, we know there are different bikes out there. we like these. multi purpose, commute, trick, race, etc. in regards to the seatpost, in the bowls, shorter is better, trust me, and my nuts, we know a lil somethin bout bikes. now, go hate some rollerbladers

[theymightbegreat]

hey man, i know that. i thought jamesfukinwhatever was actually suggesting using a longer post. but maybe it was just sarcasm i didn't get.

[say12thebear]

i kinda like reading all the hate on EVERY SINGLE fixed gear video on youtube

its kinda funny how bmx riders hate on them so much

y do they have to do that

[wantedlonewolf]

its not just bmx riders, its every other kind of rider. We just dont see the point in fixie's when the same shit can be done on bikes allready preped for the job!

[say12thebear]

its not all about tricks

its the speed and the fact that you have complete control over the bike

and skidding is fun

are there 40 mile rides for other bikes biult for this

[earlyepitaph]

finally. I've seen the response i've been giving for the last year. Having a bike that can keep up with rush hour traffic and still be recreationally fun while keeping a simple slick aesthetic

[say12thebear]

EXActly!

[mmm854]

"We just dont see the point"

Well there you go, I don't see the point in so many people having an MTB on the road, but I don't shout my opinion at them, they wanna do it, fine, I let them get on with it, I suggest you do the same.

[wantedlonewolf]

i ride over bumps and pot holes on my dh bike, and dont realli feel them, were as a fixed a pothole is the devil in concrete clothing for the wheels

[mmm854]

Surely you could just get wider tyres, lower the pressures or get a suspension seatpost, or just ride around them, with so many people riding fixies in cities, do you actually think they're all completely wrong?

[wantedlonewolf]

oh no, i would never say that. I mean if some one choose's to do something that is their choice, and i would never say that person is wrong for doing so. Im just saying, for a park use a bmx or a dj, for dh use a dh, for road racing i use my racer(road bike) for tricks and stuff use a trials bike. their are bikes made for everything, i just dont see why some one would modify a bike to do something when their are bikes allready made to do it.

cheers

Paul

[mmm854]

I still have my road bike but it's never really used since I got my fixie, fixie is a lot lighter which makes it more fun to ride around on, plus there's a lot less maintinence to take care of, which is a big plus esecially coming into the winter, on that point, fixie's are much safer in the wet/snow because you can feel how much traction you have as your feet are directly linked to the rear wheel.

[wantedlonewolf]

now, i see the point.

but to say their beter in the snow is abit enthusiastic, i have a set of stud's for my dh, the snow feels lik ethe dirt with them on, also have a set of dt's witch are amazing in the snow. But like you say, you can feel everything on a fixie (like a trails) but the fixie is like you say "cheaper to run", and yes i'v had a go and found it quiet fun.

now someone has finaly given me a propa reason for owning one, i can see why you do.

cheers

Paul

[LightningStrikes89]

other people are just jelous of how fast we go.

SPEED METAL!!!!

[thammersocal]

Hater. Get a clue. And some style. For your bich asss

[superfuxxor]

This is a joke right?

[brainofbutler]

YES!!

finally someone got it!

It's about time.

Aren't bikes hillarious?

[fallenshallrise]

Coming up on the 200 year anniversary of the freewheel people. Look into it.

[happyaccidents869]

Oh cool, you must be one of those road guys who are all into high tech innovations in cycling. That's cool, in which case I have a suggestion for you: power cranks. Look into 'em.

[freemotion]

thats right down the street from me, i gotta try that

[MATTCADAVER]

This looks fun, sort of. But isn't the whole point of bowls that you don't need to pedal or push or anything because you can pump? Pedaling just gets in the way.

[cynicalmindy]

i need to ride one of these bikes
