    man i wish i could skid on smooth roads like that.

    I really dont want to skid on glasgow roads as it would just rip my tyres to shreds. American roads are so soft and smooth, while the harsh winter resistant roads of Glasgow can really fuck your rubber

    Dont i know it, i went through 4 tires the first 4 months of this year, then i found the solution, in the form of Soma Everwear tires... Buy Buy Buy!

    no its not that one CA, Massan is riding with Mackaframa now apparently, same old crap tho, just him going down a hill realy fast, doing a few skids. only difference is its realy well filmed

    i use a front brake instead of skidding. Reckon if i built a beater with some riser bars and a more upright position i'd just skid more.

    Yeah, my usual position is a bit too low for skidding. Coming up for a skid is quite an effort so the brake is my usual choice.

    thats exactly it.. i've come up from the drops to a skid a few times and absolutely hammered by balls off the stem!

    nope, no brakes, hence the tire wear, i just enjoy hammering myself and my bike.

    haha, i could not sleep for a few hours last night, got a bit of a mad temperature at the moment, was reading bike snob and his referances to double cherry pickers and his disregard for fixed freestyle tricks. man that other video of those fixed tricks was dull as fuck.

    Amazing! I was using my Canon 24mm L 1.4 Prime for the whole trip to Paris. I really like just the wide angle for walking around and architecture stuff. I have got rid of all my zoom lenses.
