this skid stop kick out thingys

[blueee]

where you jam your tires sideways into the pavement to slow down
do think theyll also do a number on your spokes and take your wheel out of tru?
fuck sometimes theyll jar the fuck out my elbows/wrist

[weedbix]

As long as you aren't using radial you'll be right

[dude...]

if your spokes are already fucked i guess it could snap some, but so can many bicycle stunts

[Boomhauer]

Not once you have G-sport rims, they're like a b force field of bad ass.

[RAILS!]

Gsport rims never saved my spokes...

[Sebastian]

It's probably less force than, say, landing weird on a hop 180.

I hate those things, some people do them way too much. I'd rather squeeze a lever with my finger..

You mean there's a device where you can stop a bicycle with a finger operated lever?

Nah man i call bullshit.

[ediotism]

they put nowhere near as much stress on your wheel/spokes than any awkward 180s. sometimes gliding out a long one feels amazing too.

I once heard of a guy who used such a mechanism. Seems far fetched.

yeah theyre fun on gravel. stupid when its just to demonstrate how squeaky your 2.4 gum tyres are tho

[blueee]

so i did a sloppy 360 (270) to flat while going really fast and tore a 2in gash across the bead of my front tire, a 2.25microknobbie on a super narrow racing rim.
should i not run wide tires on narrow rims?

[Narcoleptic Insomniac]

You shouldn't run racing tires and racing rims if you're going to be doing 360s while going really fast.

[blueee]

270's going real fast*
