California Coast Fixed Gear

[buttniee]

YO Nate its Chris Cook, Amazing vid by the way, glad to see you alive and well.

[ideasoner]

think you dudes need to really work on your skills before you work on a vid like this, you just look like beginners with to much money

[buckeyeballs2008]

I bet they smell European. 

[starfishinc]

beautiful

[JohnVeloBlake]

All self defeating, skidding down hill, drafting downhill, wearing a helmet in traffic on a fixed gear downhill, the 1600 bike and fur lined lappel racing jacket, helmet and bare arms, racing at walls in order to narrowly miss them.

A video i made, excuse the music (only had 2 cds to choose from and the "Haulin 'Butt'" thought i had to edit it for youtube, I'm computer illiterate.

If you love to hate check the video and message me, or comment on it if it lets you.

[ardas1]

Song is: Country - Empire Of The Sun

[PedoBaur]

i love this video man! especially with the song playing. What is the song called?

[joehoughton]

what is the song please?

[FrenchNuggins]

Wheres the hill bombing?

try doing it no support, no helmet, 40 lbs of gear, & riding into the night, fixed, then start posting videos like you accomplished something

[hyper7pro8876765]

Wow, talk about high cadence. Gear down dude!

[enjoisk8er95]

i hate how every asian thats GOOD at skating quit to fixie. im like the only one still skating. fixies are hella fun to ride tho.

[blued12869]

This is so incredibly funny. Making a video of beautiful scenery punctuated by mediocre skidding and an over dramatic soundtrack is hilarious. It makes me want to throw out my bike though.

[Theochineh]

@blued12869

yeah but i don't think you understand, it's shot in black and white

[cstubing]

Are those *actually* skinny jeans cutoffs? o_O

[chips108]

Am I seeing things or did I see slow motion fixie skids for a good 30 seconds of footage & it did my eyes deceive me when I saw these cock shiners take turns at filming each other going down the same petty weak ass descent?

Don't any of these skinny legged bitches ever ride up a fucking hills in their lives, wow woopty doo da you can roll down a fucking hill, now get back up it cunts!

[FrenchNuggins]

@chips108 you're my hero

[sweinberg3000]

You know, it is acceptable to wear Lycra with a nice shammy when you take long rides. Just because it's a track bike doesn't necessarily mean you must wear cut offs with dangly keys.

[ithcy2]

terrible camera work does not merit pretentious black-and-white treatment.

[Superhandydave]

I'm going to give it a thumbs up. I liked the flipping back and forth of night to day, and ocean scenes to give a cool "big sur" feeling. Of course it could be better........ still pretty good.

[tenormama]

real cyclist wear helmets AND have brakes, AND, they don't hot-dog across a highway, I don't care where they are. Gives the rest of us a bad rap. This video was as stupid as it gets

[BevoBill31]

[dizmaze]

gorgeous song

[jaypinion]

ever heard of a chamois?

[jmarshallbadger]

I wonder why there is no footage of them going uphill?

[Theochineh]

@jmarshallbadger

they get a car for that

[williamf777]

The repair tools are in the car that is never more than 100 yards away.

[1mp0r7g4m3r]

My first thought is "at least they have helmets!" and my second is "it doesn't look like they have tools to deal with even a simple flat out there..."

[skinjobseattle]

Hipsters: Where's the part where you get hit by a fucking truck?

[MrJbrydges]

run out of footage much?

[williamf777]

Why do hipsters have drop bars if they never ride in the drops? Every hipster I see only has his hands either right next to the stem on the bar tops or in some sort of underhand grip on the transitions like they are Kevin Bacon or something.

[thefranklots]

@williamf777 They put their hands right next to the stem for maximum knuckle-tattoo legibility.

[illdthedj]

i ride fixed gear bikes too but why cant hipsters ride their bikes without having to make some "epic" documentary about it???

sweet slo-mo skidz brah.

[dkopf]

Where are the hills? Let me know when you ride Big Sur end to end on fixed gears -- with the two massive ascents at the North and South ends and all the saw tooth in between.

[krskid]

As a cyclist, who has a fixed gear in my fleet, I'm embarrased by this video.

[SprishNautical]

You guys are dense. HWY 1 is one of the most dangerous passages in CA. People are killed regularly along the very same turns that you guys are dicking around on. People make that commute daily and could care less about sharing the road with cyclists. Go back to the cities.

[yatomon1972]

bikesnobbed- Check

[718spartan]

hills?

[pedrobarboney]

100% gay - double check

[phattyjax]

Are the drops just for looks?

[t00thygr1n]

@phattyjax I don't think they can reach the drops. It requires some pretty extreme flexibility to get all the way down there. The only extreme thing they are good at is x-treme skidding

[krskid]

@t00thygr1n It also requires they setup their fit correctly, which comes about sixth or seventh on hipster bike priorities.

[Gearoboy]

@wrightbeau

Song is Empire of the Sun - Country, it is good, so is the entire album. Check them out.

[mpheenan]

You've been snobbed. Let the ridicule commence.

[infrafan]

You guys live more in a day than I do in a year, and it looks wonderful.
