Push It Real Good


I’m all for bikes. Of all kinds. With all kinds of people on them. But the bike world is far from immune to the world of foolish trends and ill-conceived applications of otherwise good ideas. Take the fixed gear explosion. A great bike, grossly out of place for most of the riders currently on them. But hey, more bikes is more bikes. Never the less, I also love a good satire. In that spirit, here’s a 100% genuine documentary on the emerging sport of fix-push skateboarding. Haven’t heard of it? Don’t sweat it. It’s an underground thing.

For background reading on the target of this fine piece of cinema verite, visit the ever-enlightening Bike Snob NYC. He’ll break it down for you.
