Most of the time, no

In fairness to AteMrYeats (henceforth, AMY), he was riding the some of the hardest stuff (Bear Wallow) of one of the hardest trail systems (Elizabeth Furnace) within an hour and a half of DC...on his fixie (and clearing just as much of it as us, if not more). Someone's picked up some skills by riding his fixie exclusively!

No!!!

fixie mtbing is sick.
I've been playing on the road, and it's a whole new game, but a fun one.

hey ricky, where was the stack? I expected to see a stack, that was a pretty damn nice piece of technical riding on that. It was very sweeet.


have a great new year

Tuck the bone back in and ride on. Laughter is warranted only afterwards, IMO.

Wazzat squealy front brake though??? Dayum. My Avid Mech on the Vulture ninety sixie fixie doesn't exhibit that behaviour......

Inspired by Padre's switchback video, we goofed off making one as well. VERY easy looking on video, it proved harder to do than we expected. BTW, when AMY falls, he smacks his kneecap on a rock, hard enough to draw blood. The cameraman, Crashmasta, made it on his first attempt on a 26er. I think I need to go back to mine as well

We rode for 25 miles and a little over 4 hours. It was a great way to end the year. Cheers, and a good new one for y'all!

Not only is that lame...

but damn do you guys suck a disgrace to big wheels. Me, I'm going back to small wheels, it's taking some getting used to the lightining quick steering though.

We shot this about 2 years ago...sound required.

If I had been riding with an H-bar, I would have cleaned that switchback, no problem.

The brake pads were saturated with water from all of the snow and slop we had to slog through before making this video. Once the water burns off, they are silent.

That was a good one, and it looked like the rider made it out ok!

No shot of the stack unfortunately, but the audio was good. Rest assured, he was curled in the fetal position when he yelled that stuff at the end.

 

[lanpope]

Hilarious!

My wife just asked my what was making that terrible squeaking noise and what was I laughing at!

Looks like a REALLY fun ride! Thats the way it should be guys...

Nice

Yep that was great. I was doing super slo-mo to see the tire blowout. Freaking awesome!!
