Ride Lugged

It’s just like watching the fast and the furious.

But if you want to learn how to be as cool as this guy you can check out this skid slide tutorial thing.

9 Steps to Skid-Slides
1 On a smooth, flat area, ride in a straight line at 10-15 mph.

2 Decide which way you want to turn. Take your foot off the pedal on that side.

3 Float your foot about 2 inches off the ground.

4 Turn the handlebar and the front wheel becomes a rudder; if you turn the handlebar left, the rear wheel will slide right.

5 Lean the bike into the inside of the turn. The angle should be about 20 degrees from upright.

6 Aggressively apply the rear brake with one or two fingers to lock the rear wheel. Hold the brake as the back of the bike comes around and the whole thing gets sideways.

7 As you start to slide, let your foot drag the ground. Balance your weight between the wheels and your foot. Think tripod.

8 Continue to lean and drag your foot as the rear wheel slides sideways to complete the turn.

9 Finish the change in direction by straightening the handlebar and letting off the brake.

I always prefered the trash skid myself.

TRASH SKID:
“Ride over a smashed can or piece of cardboard on the street, then slam on your brakes as soon as your rear wheel hits the debris.”
