General Help
1

I have been bitten by the fixed bug, but i am strugling to skid without knackering my self. I am a big boy (110 kgs) and think that it may be that i am not geting my weight forward enough. I ride with mountain bike spds, do i need toe clips and sneakers as that is what all the cool kids ride on? Any help would be greatly aprecited.

If skidding meant I had to get strung up by the balls, I wouldn’t skid. Call me crazy.

I have found that learning to skid is best done down at the local oval, it is easier for the rear wheel to slide and you get used to how the bike acts when sliding.
