    i try my best. I hate how people think they suck and so just draw stick figures. I'm sure with determination or a few more seconds there would be more depth and spacial definition to the subjects. Even if it's bad it's still good to laugh at something funny looking.

    move your skid position so your front foot is a little higher and back foot lower and use your arms to hold the weight instead of you junk

    this is awesome #1. You don't have to lean so far forward, LW. Just try and get your weight up off the bike for a second, then you can skid from the saddle and stop quicker. you al so won't be slamming your pelvis into the stem anymore.

    If any part of yourself is touching the stem when you skid you are doing it wrong, if you are actually trying to slow down that is.

    p.s. lickedwicked just jumped the shark for me. Which one of you guys is this?

    Ever consider that you have a hernia? If you develop a second bellybutton, seek medical assistance.

    Haha dude that's almost exactly what I was thinking. If it's all real I'm truly in awe, if it's Greg or Suicide_Doors then I'm equally in awe for other reasons. I'm also really tired right now though so maybe this thread's a hallucination.

    Lickedwicked, it doesn't help that you're riding an old japanese conversion with no saddle or seatpost dude.

    Hrm, I don't know how to take that, Jaiden. All things considered, though, I think that drawing is wonderful.

    But yeah, LW, you're taking that whole shift the weight off your rear tire to a bit of an extreme.

    Also:

    I'm thinking about getting bull horns since i can shift my weight out more and hold my hands out further.

    Is this so you can smash your pelvis more intensely?
    Bullhorns will exacerbate your current problem.

    It is in fact acceptable to have your waist and both knees bent while skidding. It's not like doing push ups on your handlebars.

    you shouldnt need to lean that far forward. hit the weight room

    Lower your stem if you can. Having both legs as close to straight as possible makes skidding easier. So does leaning way forward. I don't have any weight on my hands when I skid, I can take them off the handlebars once I am skidding.

    I know the pain you are talking about, it's a pull in the lower stomach muscles. Girls these days have a thing for abs, so start doing stomach crunches.

    Skidding 100\'+

    My balls are up over the stem BTW.

    ......everyone eventually learns that skidding to a stop on their fixie isn't as cool as it first seems. It's too tough on the knees for such a trivial move.

    Brake Yo'Self! ......and your bike.

    I think if you are brainless enough to think that this kind of skidding is about stopping you don't really deserve a comment.

    I also think that you don't know enough about stopping a fixed gear if you think that they can only be stopped with a brake OR by skidding.

    (You can simply slow your pedaling, and miracle of miracles, you slow down! AKA Resisting)

    (You can also hop stop, where you unweight the rear tire, stop pedaling, and the bike does a short little skid that substantially reduces your speed)

    I'm a lazy bastard, my track bike has a front brake for stopping. I still skid all over the fucking place.

    This sounds like the dawn of an anti-skidding trend, a wagon upon which those who've never learned to skid correctly and/or well will gladly jump.

    Everyone also eventually learns that the term "fixie" is almost always used inappropriately, as it is in this case, unless of course you're being ironic with yourself.

    Brakes are cool.

    How do you use that term appropriately?

    "He's a nOOb so he still calls it a fixie"

    You'd have to be blind to body language to not see the eye rolling and the facepalms every time that word is uttered.

    Yes, precisely. Thank you, Mark. The use of that word automatically places the user squarely in the category of new and inexperienced rider.

    Only if you have street wrapz then you call your bike a fixiebike.

    if you're getting that far out for skids you're not helping yourself stop at all really...you might as well be in a longest skid comp...learn to skip then just transition into holding those into skids.

    Obvious observation is obvious.

    are you kidding me? you're comparing bmx to skidding? why are you being a douche about this...? i offered him advice for the problem he described. he said it was hurting him when he skid and i offered him a solution. idk why it hurts him when he does skid like that but i do know that he doesnt have to skid like that. also notice that almost all of the other people that commented on this thread offered similar advice.

    it's not too much. it's all the time that I do it that there's pain generated. anytime so it's the way i do it. not the frequency
