Baby Steps: Fixie Stop

[thecamtron]

You don't have to lean forward... I skid in a mostly seated position. Better control at high speed, and more effective stopping power.

[TheLeVanman]

u wont stop shit skidding like that

[Finn8man]

i used to do it this way but now that i put clips on my bike i can just stand up and skid without leaning forward or even skid seated. all you need is leverage to skid. well, that and strong legs :D

[HeyImKli4d]

@Finn8man Honestly, he'd stop faster if he wasn't leaning so far forward. He's taking weight off the wheel he's breaking.

[Finn8man]

@HeyImKli4d yeah true that but you do need clips if you dont want to have to do a humper skid every time... its all about resistance.

[kemc]

he's sitting on his frame haha

Do NOT hump the stem, that's how you eat shit and die.......

[MedialnRes]

Lean forward over your stem, and lock your legs in whichever direction your skidding.

[Meneks]

How do you lock your legs?

[fordieform]

yeah basically i could NEVER skid until someone told me that you're supposed to lean forward and put your weight on the front wheel so theres less force moving the rear wheel against the ground; then it will be easy enough to lock up your knees, one foot pulling up and the other pushing down.

Yeah i think thats the thing...

Putting my weight on the front wheel is kinda hard while i'm still pedeling
