Yup. Done it. Its great. When its wet outside, its even cooler..I can slide approx. 60 feet. Great stuff..
 
I do that all the time. So far: two bent mountain bike rims and some nasty scars from when I had to bail this one time last summer.
 
ummm..how does that work,I mean what modifications are made to the bike.cuz' I could never get that far sidewayz on my bike.
Like that kid on the red bike with black handlebars.Looks nice

They're just leaning in so much, it looks like a few of them are about to take a giant spill.
 
Check out the expression of the guy on the left in the bottom photo.

I accidentally had a rear end slide coming into my driveway last week - grabbed the rear instead of the front brake. Frightened the crap out of me.

You can have that to yourselves...
 
Haha, that's awsome. I've done it on my bike, but never that much. Since I'm on mountain bikes, the tires are like 195's...in the pics they are on like 165s or less. Small tires = less grip, so they can drift like that.

They're riding piece of crap bikes though.

I can only get that far sideways with the rear locked up, but I don't like to do that because it just kills the tire. I assume that that's all they are doing, just sliding with the back locked up. If they let off the back brake, they'd "tank slap" the bike and go flying off. Maybe thier tires are bald, I'd imagine you could drift on a bald tire pretty well, but not for long.
I can also get the back end sliding out by slamming on the front brake, and transfering the weight off the back tire, then swiveling the back of the bike.

I'll wait for snow. It's fun as hell riding a bike on snow and ice, especially when the snow is compressed by cars and stuff. It's fun until you get hypothermia...
 
used to do that when was a kid with my mountain bike, BMX and with those type of bikes on the picture ( dont know how to call them :p )
one thing only, dont brake hard on the front if you are standing
 
Man!they all look like they're about to bust their @$$!!Those bikes look like something from the 1950's. LOL:lol: I wonder if they know it's much more fun in a car?
 
I noticed that none of those dumbasses have a helmet on. I took a sharp turn at about 20 mph. about a year ago. There was a little gravel in the road and my back wheel went sliding (just like that) and I busted my ass then rolled over and snaped my arm. I hit my head so hard on the pavement it sent a crack right through the helment. That could have been my scull. And everyone of those guys look like they are about to bust their ass too and with no helment on they could easily get seriously hurt or die. Very stupid thing to do.

Another thing, after a while those tires are gonna blow. And when a tire blows there's nothing you can do but...you guessed it... bust..your..ass. Hard:lol: :trouble:

haha omg you busted up your helm? ME TOO! you snapped your arm?? about 6 years ago I was riding with my brother on a road bike and he was pretty far ahead of me. Stupid me I didnt pay attention and he stopped to look back. Right at that moment i crashed into him and flew over the handle bars head first on the pavement. the pain was unbelievable! all i remembered was me screaming my guts out. I Chipped my front tooth also scratched my elbows,knees.knuckles and my chin.. lucky me nothing broke! Thanks to my helmet my head was saved! the helmet was busted up pretty good it had a crack in the front.
 
The funny thing is when I got up I didn't even look at my arm I just felt the pain and tried to literally "shake It off". When I told the doctor that he was like "Oh, man! That was not a good thing to do!" I just kind of stumbled to the side of the road and sat down, looked at my arm and said holy ****. It was my right arm and my hand was pointing way over to the right. It was nasty.
 
ha ha... good question? it's been so long since I've seen this thread... I thought it was stupid but this ricer stuff is worse.
