obviously its a test of endurance and physical strength/skill to be able to ride brakeless. i dont, but to me it is clear as to why others might. and polo is chill, yet fun and challenging.

Tell me what the point of riding brakeless is? Because, "i like it" is not a point. Is it because you want to be cool? Beat Bos in a velodrome race and you have my praise.
Keep wearing your cut off shorts and enjoying your malnutrition diet, your stupid ridiculous hair styles that "SO SCREAM I don't conform (limp wrist)". I do not understand. I am all ears. Tell me if you are capable.

PS Like my hipster new way of writing my name? In the end I love you guys. Be careful : )

Hmm... i can't say this is the coolest looking t hing. You scensters try way too hard to come up with new things. Also, can someone explain to me what the point of riding brakeless on a fixed gear is IN THE CITY? Isn't that crap for velodromes? It is dangerous and very uncool. Gonna get hurt soon son.

I'd really like to watch this video, but I can't. I've tried on Internet Explorer and Firefox, and I've downloaded the flash player twice on both browsers. Is there a problem with the page?
