[Timonek211986]

poor circles man....

[LukeBass100]

I spy a classic Fixter lol nice job tho

[WhiteGravey]

pretending to be a messenger is cool. sometimes i wear all green and a red bandana then walk around the sewers pretending to be a ninja turtle.

[mahmoud1995]

Why does everyone do backwards circles, try backwards straight lines...

[ah0v1]

@mahmoud1995 cause circles look harder but are easy to do(x lol

[srfguy00]

what type of bars are those you have...I've been looking for some but can only find bull bars...

[3nc0unt3r]

can you do frontwards?

[isecboys]

its not real unless its a fixed wheel and brakes are for fakes....

gotta give it to them real men ride single speeds....

with no brakes

[OllieLikesWalking]

@isecboys no thats suicide

[LucaBoulders]

@isecboys I have a front brake, I can ride ALOT faster with a front brake. Having to slow down 100 mtrs before every drive way, footpath entrance, road etc... is not for me. I like to ride my bike fast and enjoy the ride, not either have to start resisting every 20 secs or worrying because I cant stop quick. Plus I will not be fined by the police for my lack of brakes.

BTW I am a real man, I have testicles to prove it.

Very nice, anyone have tips? I can never do more than 1 circle or half a circle -___-

running 42tx 18t on a volume cutter.

[daveyheats]

@2luviz2h8 I find it helps if you shift your weight as far forward as you can. Basically, try to make sure your chin is over the front hub....this will give you more room to pedal.

I started practicing these about 2 months ago, and can now do as many as I want until i get dizzy. But the best thing I discovered was my tip above....shift yourself forward dawg!

[2luviz2h8]

@daveyheats Thanks! I'll try that out (:

[williamguchi]

@daveyheats

shifting yourself forward is only to maintain balance on bwc's, but if your going to ride fakie, (backwards in a straight line, being able to steer, etc,whatever), you need to sit down and keep your weight shifted to the back.

[QuinnBarley]

@williamguchi This man knows what's good. If you want to learn to ride backwards, raise your seat a little and sit your ass down.

[skaterfolif11]

just curious are you righty or lefty??

[bianchijbev]

its really not that hard. just dont bail and keep trying. Ive been practicing for like a week off and on and I can easily do 3 spins each time sometimes more.

[Carlittlesober08]

its a pretty hard trick to do when you start but you get used to it

[skuflerkarl]

Name of the music, please?

[ezstewie91]

expectations by belle and sebastian

[agentpaper2006]

Yo, props for getting so good at riding backwards. that shit's tough.

P.S. nice bag. i got mine from Chrome, too.

[bulletproofcourier]

Thanks agentpaper2006! Yes indeed Chrome makes a wicked bag; the origins of which I think began in San Francisco, where the messenger industry burgeoned during the Gold Rush days that had our historical equivalents pedalling around delivering telegrams.

[agentpaper2006]

man, i'd never put that together! one thing i want to ask you, is that just a username or do you actually have a courier job? Because i was thinking of having a courier job on weekends during the school year.

[Thomo451]

It's also pretty tough to ride backwards, but i give props to the guy for learning to ride backwards, takes some serious skill.!

[Obiwancunningham]

riding backwards in a circle is pretty obtainable on a fixed gear so i doubt they reversed it.

[VanMessenger2010]

I'm wondering if they're just running the video in reverse to get this footage???

[imnotaballer]

nope! he's actually riding backwards, riding backwards on a fixie is pretty easy :)
