Quicksilver - Road and Fixie Bike Tricks

[@dirtysailor49]

I loved watching this scene when I was a little kid!!

[@danner182]

That no hander at 0:30 was EPIC!

[@WightLemon]

@jonisthegoat sooooooooo tempted to flame war haha artistic cycling bikes are still fixies. They just have 1:1 ratios. As for the roadbike, that was still pretty rad, bro. Now let everyone enjoy this video. There's literally nothing to be snippy about here. :0

[@execatty]

Under rated movie

[@MKMachine]

kevin bacon is havin fun lookin at dem pros

[@midgetBIL]

i remember there was another scene where kevin bacon do some tricks in his apartment.

[@crazyjorge2111]

how in the fuck is this even humanly possible...

[@Cambaudio]

Wow, that was awesome. Thanks for sharing.

[@deontemerritt91]

I love this movie forever and forever I got it on DVD video I remember watching this when I was kid back in the day when I lived in Hyattsville.

[@Mazak23]

I used to live in Riverdale. Not too far away from Hyattsville.

[@felixantoinetremblay]

With a 1:1 ratio, I don't think they'll be making their deliveries very fast!

[@namgar2099]

la cuarentena me trajo aqui Julio 2020 the quarantine brought me here July 2020

[@yogieadiput]

[@slashlash96]

cant believe they actually did it

[@greer776611]

this and Rad all day every day

[@ZidaneSteiner]

OMG its Kevin Bacon!

[@ihateskateboardin]

This is fuckin sick.

[@dav1disradical]

@murdoches are you serious? "fixies" have been around since the bicycle was invented.

[@spekkzjerk]

Anyone notice the ratios on the bikes hahaha

[@zelupl2063]

I wonder how they achieved such a small ratios... What are those front grannies? Any ideas? I want to build bike like that for my brother and am looking for ideas.

[@felixantoinetremblay]

Regardless of the size, it's the ratio that matters. For instance, a 55:30 is (almost) the same as a 36:20.

[@187GRAFFKID]

Awesome fixie riding who's 2nd unit???

[@Twattoo666]

This is fucking insane !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@gaaaddam]

All messengers have more than one bike supid!

[@levissk8boy]

@bourbonturkey lol, no! thats Paul Rodriguez father of Paul Rodriguez Jr. the pro skater...

[@Okshake]

@thoughtsthroughsound what. starbucks coffee in one hand and a cigarette in the other?

[@mikezoltan3227]

Who needs a freestyle BMX when you have a 10-speed?

[@DrifterX34]

@goose0139 look at 0:21 the wheel spins backwards and the pedals go backwards as well

[@omae_wa_mou_shindeiru3888]

because its a Fixed gear, If you pedal forwards the wheel moves forward vice versa

[@EnniodBleu]

@psilogen i think they call that artisanal licence

[@AngryMooseRampage]

For those of you interested, some of these tricks are standards in the sport called artistic cycling

[@peterjv8748]

No, it's called Kevin Bacon freestyle.

[@bedlambikes]

Viola Brand taking the beauty of artistic cycling to a whole other level. Check her out.

[@tilosradio]

these are no fixies but special circus bikes with appr. 1:1 ratio - nothing to do with fixie tricks

[@marshalrando6767]

unsung sauce

[@blogit1000]

[@bobsacamano2705]

Jamie Gertz😍

[@Longi452]

I know this was a movie made in the 80s, but the transitions from fixed gear to singlespeed were so obvious haha. Not to mention the gear ratios were the equivalent to trick bikes.

[@MrSMITTY123456]

KEVIN FUCKING BACON

[@blahblahmonkey]

@kiwiboy8492 its just cuz most of the tricks there doing wouldnt work out with the drops on the right way

[@MRZENJI215]

fucking awesome!!!

[@YWJ3]

Woah

[@TheChiliLime]

thoughtsthroughsound I can't do even that! :(

[@MorbidThrasher666]

Martin is king!

[@XFACTORxfc]

i could do this i just dont wnat to :P

[@TheActionistheJuice]

What the fuck!!!!! this is so dank

[@goldsanta5975]

there are diff guys doing tricks the obvious difference is his mustache

[@TheFerchodurango]

1:00 WHAT?!?!?!?

[@Thesportyowl]

some of those bikes had some small crank rings, I can't imagine a bike messenger wanting to get up to a speed of only 7 or 10 MPH.

[@zango4]

im pretty sure the fixies won. thumbs up if you think so too

[@kiwiboy8492]

gues the tren in the 80s are upside down drop bars

[@chemiechemie2879]

Whats the difference between them being up like that and down regular

[@satatay23]

Couldn’t spin the bars around if they were down. They would catch on the frame.

[@thoughtsthroughsound]

i can ride with no hands : P

[@psilogen]

hey dummies, trick bikes and transport bikes run different gearing. you wouldn't see a messenger riding DUI bars either. I haven't seen the movie but either the premise is that they each have more than one bike, or the bikes were swapped in for this scene by the filmmakers/trickriders for pragmatic reasons. suspend a lil disbelief.

[@parnoldobonger]

[@BerkeleyBuilt]

P Rod.

[@cilvice]

Sikkkkkkk

[@ultrasonicpriest]

flop, no chop.

[@xZASPx]
