Track bike skip stop

[thomasbradleyh]

Huh, so it's sort of like the abs function on cars.

[Onyxaxe]

Thanks for making the vid. I was contemplating going brakeless but people drive too crazy for me to not be able to stop real quick.

[DEMONPLAYER101]

lol micargi? HAHAAHAHA

[TheBoredKorean]

@DEMONPLAYER101 Mercier, dumbass.

[gorillasocks]

@PICOxARONIKxUNION

it's probably a bit harder on your hubs, so don't do it on your phil hubs.

[elchingon91335]

haha my friend has the same bike mercier kilo tt

[Eiki7]

thats a good way to skid, fast stop ^_^

[PRESTOALOE]

Two words: Coaster Brake

I'm bringing that shit back.

[TheRealMe15]

@PRESTOALOE it never left it's called a beach cruiser .

[Bogglenator1]

lift ur back tire a lil more off the ground!

[hazim7374]

walau no good maa!!!

[jajajah86]

What if you're going fast?

[SNOB1R]

yoooo i was doing this for a while to stop at every red light, after a while my cranks starting..... skipping a gear? or... something. But basically it was fucking up my bike. soooo i stopped and my bike went back to normal. just a heads upp..

[datazncarl]

@SNOB1R If I were you I would check my cog, lockring, and hub. Mine did this after 1 DAY of doing this and im gonna get it checked

[SNOB1R]

@datazncarl i had to buy a new lower bracket and all that shit , not worth it.. fuck the fads, get a front break .

[JoshyWoshy15]

people say you cant stop immediately on a fixed----that, my friends, is the quickest way to stop on a fixie... learn it---important

[damonskates]

@JoshyWoshy15 or use brakes lol

[orengard2]

i can skid stop, but i rather use brake :D

[nestea009]

Does this stop put a lot of stress on your pedal cranks? It seems like it might foment problems..

[ehilado06]

@nestea009 it actually put more stress on the hub because its made of Aluminum. The Cog and locking is made of steel there is a chance of you stripping the thread and ruining your hub.

[kcnirva]

@nestea009 only if you use cheap ass shity parts

[pimpjuice8921573]

You're supposed to use your front leg to pull up as you hop. I learned how to do it today while messing around. xP

[joehoughton]

If you're learning then try it on wet grass.

[MincedFeet]

So you initiate the skid, let go, and keep doing this over and over?

[ongne1234]

this is not exactly a skid stop friend

[PoppinNapps]

@ongne1234 this actually is still considered a skid. It's a hop-skid as my friends call it. Saves you WAAAAAY more tire and slows you down by a lot on flat ground, but bombing hills..not so much. lol

[ongne1234]

@PoppinNapps blahh ..but i think it'll mess up your chainring and chain or cog

[RockyShitNigga]

You need more muscles.

[SebastienTemplar]

Is this way of stopping better for the hub ?

[TimmyJ1597]

nice mercier killo tt?

[Meltedsnake4]

This looks easier, I've BMXed before so I think this will be a whooole lot easier lol!

[luongdung]

Is it safe to do this on a carbon crank?

[scarycatoutthewindow]

@luongdung no, use a brake or get some man cranks

[samstterhamstteer]

bs this is impossible i got on a singlespeed for the first time tried doing this nearly broke my damn leg

[marlo916]

@samstterhamstteer maybe cause it was a singlespeed, and not a fixed gear. they are two different things =)

[marioisthebest]

bahahaha!!!

[Quangiscoolio]

OMG will noob riders stop saying that this guy's "skid" was gay, its not a skid it's a SKIP stop. It's another way to stop, skid just got popular because it was the easiest. Skip stopping is actually a lot harder. btw he doesn't ride with a front brake like the rest of you noobs!

[kanedallan]

@Quangiscoolio i find it interesting that it makes you a "noob" if you have some sense of self-preservation.

we should start removing the brakes from our motor vehicles too i suppose

[MiddLeSkoolChrisT1n]

Would you be able to teach how to skip stop?

[Bad6rush]

skiding for people who actually want to live.

[rookie66]

@Bad6rush Yes!!!

[ChowyDaMan]

that seems really bad for the crank haha

[xxbondsxx]

@ChowyDaMan got its horrible for the crank. but especially the square tapers of the bottom bracket. you are basically just slamming them with all your momentum in alternating directions. *shudder*

[red88alert]

thats true but considerin the tremendous amounts of pressure the crank and bottom bracket already goes through...its all about wether you can slow down to avoid crashin!!!

[cody8005]

yea but you could say the same for standing up on your bike to climb hills right? its bad but crucial sometimes...

[heady420sativa]

@ChowyDaMan

Look for old one piece cranks, much stronger, although they are quite heavy.

[tacobelleater2]

hahaha i love doing that

[JT51o]

This skid is good for slowing down when bombing hills, or mashing through traffic and when you have to make an instant stop.

Balls over stem skid is for distance.

[johngorgis]

try to pedal backwards while going frontwards

[toreyman100]

that was a shitty skid

[furnaceskate]

@toreyman100 because it wasn't a skid, it was a skip stop

[AsianStvex]

why don't we just call it a skid?

[fox11897]

how do u do that?????

[adikos27]

when one pedal is at the 6oclock push down while pulling up on the one in the 12oclock, it should lock up and skid

[nilo2209]

I would think it's more like 8-9 and 2-3 o clock as seen in the video? Jumping when at 12 and 6 sounds suicidal to me.

[pogointhe818]

I agree.

[xX6jdub9XxaaaA]

dont become a teacher bro.

[zzzmarcuszzzllla]

dude wft was that ?

[johngorgis]

lol grab your front rim?

[firedeathterror999]

how to stop when you ride brakeless without using ur feets?

[Transane]

jump off?

is this a serious question?

[imnotaballer]

that's not possible haha, or fall off

[tootsie400]

throw a stick at your spokes.

[TheTiredWanderer]

Hop stops are basically good for bike soccer. if you wanna stop like that just make one big hop and stop. thanks for trying, come again.

[weene858]

one big hop poses inner tube problems.

[birdt8608]

I threw my chain doing this. Oops! Has anyone else ever had that happen?

[weene858]

your chain is loose.

[Anaiyak]

Yep.

[Transane]

no...

check your chain line and tension

[dellol]

thats a hop stop!!

[andy10001]

how do u do it ?

[CommanderPancakes]

whenever i try to do this i can only have it like, skip once or twice and i dont come to a complete stop. do i have to start earlier in my pedal rotation?

[skaterjordan4]

why wouldnt you just hold your sit down skid for longer and whip it. its way saucier

[Ayumih724]

its harder than you think to do skips but once you get it its second nature.

the first time i tried i thought i just had to push with the rear leg but i notice i had to pull with my front leg mean if you want to skid you would have to put on the straps ;P

[aftermatth]

man i cant do it, is my crank too big? is my bike too heavy? is my chain too tight?

[mightybj]

Try to use the rear leg to pull up. Pull the toe clip and the straps.

[patternsandstatic]

you mean front leg to pull up

[flyingmumble]

when i was learning skids this happened to me lol

[mightybj]

Good for you... The tire lasts longer too!

[spidy05]

@mightybj your pedals wont get fucked up right?

[hahabark]

mmm not really

[wafflekid1]

this is hard as shit ive tried it
