Off Road No Hands Track Skid Beer Drink

Nat's nuts. This is from the 2007 Eugene, OR all-comers "Meat". This is what happens when you combine a mid-ride keg and with a guy on an off-road fixie. He did a much faster one without the beer, but this turned out better.

You're right. There is no freewheel. His feet are stationary, and that is because the back wheel is skidding. Note that he's going downhill and scrubbing speed. No hands on brake levers. Would you be leaned that far over the front (going downhill, no-handed) if you didn't have the back wheel locked up? If you watch the back wheel closely, it is NOT rotating.

Huh. I was there, and I assure you, it's an off-road fix built by Vulture Cycles of Bend, OR. The video was taken late in the skid as he was losing momentum, but Nat was throwing FAST no hand off road skids all day.

Thats no fixie!

Yeah, it is. It's an off-road fix, built by Vulture Cycles of Bend, Oregon. Unfortunately, I started the camera late as Nat was losing momentum. If you watch the back wheel closely, it's locked up. 80 people were there, and he was throwing no-hand dirt track skids all day.

Do you know what a skid is?

I thought fixie was a bike without a freewheel. It looks to me like his feet are stationary for most of the video. Single speed? Fixie? I still see coasting with legs not moving.
