Yeah, huge difference in atmosphere! In road rages everyone is always so serious, like they're racing for the Yellow Jersey while in reality the average prime is a cake or some flowers.
Great breakdown! Exciting to watch. That heat race making your way through the entire field was impressive. I imagine getting the hole shot in a race would be a game changer.
Short track looks more fun and less dangerous than full on crits, seeing this makes me actually contemplate trying it out haha, great race and great video!
Starting in a corner was a huge advantage for the inside riders, should have started on a straight to five the outside guys a chance or have a track style start with outside riders starting further up front
Would be so cool if this were more widespread. Loving the idea of going around an indoor kart track, get a workout out of it, and not having to breathe exhaust gas.
Thanks Jeff! Great edit, narration, video and good times! All cycling enthusiast should visit Bob Rodale‘s Lehigh Valley Velodrome in Trexlertown Pennsylvania for some great world-class fixed gear racing sometime in the lives. Be well, race smart and have fun! Gratefully, Dennis
Your bike-handling skills are exceptional...during the few fixie crit races I've done...my hands shook through every corner while I said to myself...."please don't crash...please don't wreck"
Putting homies on fixies inside of a K1 Speed is the absolute most Red Bull thing ever. Never heard of this event until now but damn this is some total mad genius.
What stipulations are there regarding tyre widths? I imagine running something wide at a lower pressure would give a huge advantage because you never really get up to speed
When I was a bicycle messenger in Montréal from about ‘95 to ‘07, I had some friends who used to ride fixies on the job. I thought they were absolutely fucking nuts!🤣 Gimme a fixie on the weekend, or after work, not in downtown rush hour traffic, lol Regarding the video, this looks insane and I’ve love to try it!
Just curious, Did they steam clean the track before this event? My local indoor Go-kart track is like a ice skating rink there's so much oil and rubber on it.
new subs here! I really love your content and I learned a lot of strategies on your videos!! Godbless and more power to your channel dude!! From philippines
If I were doing this, I would turn an old steel 10 speed frame into a fixed single gear bike or a fixed two gear bike. This way other bikes that bump into me move more due to me having the heavier bike, which helps since I am so light of a rider. Oh By the Way prior to the first aluminum frame racing bikes in the 1980's and 1990's, on big Mountian stages of the bigger tours some riders took a fixed steel frame track bike from the company they rode for, as light as the frames were made at the time, then added the components needed like hand breaks, changing to a front road hub, and all the stuff to comply with the rules then set up with the single set of gears best suited for climbing gear ratio for the rider to be as light as possible.
That looks so wacky and fun! This should be more popular!
Love these comments
ok
no
What’s the sport called tho?

Yeah, IKR, I was thinking that's so unfair for the outside guy.
yep, agreed, that was purely unfair, but in the end its more about the fun i think : )
This needs to become a widespread sport. There's go cart tracks all over the place
watch the berlin rad race. cool stuff too
@@jeidun Is to dangerous for making it a copetitive sport. Maybe without track pedals.
@@manuelgranja2 even more dangerous... There's no way you'll be able to slow down without straps or clip pedals
no
no, we do not need to encourage the hipsters.....

I've raced this course a few times, never on a bike though

You are a true competitor. I rate your sportsmanship and your courage.
Terry Barentsen cameo during the rear camera crash replay
I love this. All strategy, from start to finish. A bicycle race where shorts with a belt is welcomed.
Its cool as hell that there's a scene in NorCal of fixie riders. Madd respect.

Devil takes the hindmost is one of my favourite track races, we actually ran a road race version of this on our local crit track and it was awesome
It’s the best at bike handling. It’s always interesting to see a roadie talk about fixed
I was really waiting for this!
This looks so fun! I hope this gets more popular on the east coast.
I imagine the choice of tire along with how much pressure you run in both front and rear on the indoor track would also be key.
Putting homies on fixies inside of a K1 Speed is the absolute most Red Bull thing ever. Never heard of this event until now but damn this is some total mad genius.
This is really exciting to watch
This is real fun... MORE OF THIS please.
The bicycle is one of the greatest inventions of all time.
yes sir,it was indeed.
That looks like SO MUCH fun!!!😜
I was so stoked to see this I hit like even before the video started!
Man thought this was a video from the OG All Gas No Brakes, Andrew Callaghan
What stipulations are there regarding tyre widths? I imagine running something wide at a lower pressure would give a huge advantage because you never really get up to speed
That NorCal production value now.. Crispy af!
I'm glad that you did this. I love this style of crit.
This makes me wanna buy a fixed gear now! Awesome racing 🏁
This style of bike racing NEEDS to be in Columbus, Ohio!!! (A velodrome would be nice as well)
This is awesome!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Okay this was an exciting crit to watch. Short and sharp
Dammmm that was so exciting, it felt as if I was racing in that camera view.
Great fun and footage
I love biking too! Great video man! Arun from Singapore. I am six years old and love your videos
That surface looks slick 😬
Finally i cant wait to watch it
First off- it's about time. 😁
Nice recap on the heats and congrats on the efforts.
Awesome race man! Always wanted to try fixie racing, it looks so fun!
My world of racing, meets "official" racers. Fun to show how us fixed riders have just a totally different skill set.
Nice one! It looks like a great circuit to race on. I'm going to look out for that next year. Got myself a fixie just need to race it!
Been waiting for this
eliminator race are the best, i did like them back in my speedskating times
Yoooo!!! This is awesome!! This needs to be seen in other countries!
was waiting for this video like lorever!
Over here in Europe, the guys from Rad Race organize the same kind of race by the end of March, can't wait to get to Berlin. Last Man Standing!
It’s great to see you try something different, full credit
Love that introo
This looks like so much fun!
I love the giant Schumacher banner!
Great video! More of this please!
wow, starts with a great intro and keeps rolling, keep that editor in your pocket
I love this type of content!! Us fixie guys and roadies should get along :)
The moment we have been waiting for. Saw VC's perspective now its time for Jeff's
Loved this sport, finally got a good excuse to ride by bike recklessly with no complaints.
LOL redbull discovered stuff we were doing 15 years ago. how brilliant
Can't wait to see the uphill video!
may i know if you use a chest mount? the camera angle is pretty good
MORE FIXED CONTENT JEFF
the best use of road/track bikes !!! ) This should be worlwide sport! )
you killed those corners, good job
Upped the editing game
All gas no brakes is channel 5 news now
6:48: LMFAO! That was Benny Hill ludicrous!
The vegan cyclists and Terry B!!
Looks INSANNNNE the flapping jerseys kill me tho😫
DANG! If I were 40 years younger, I'd be doing that. I looks like an outrageously good time!
Jeff, would you go with MTB pedals/cleats next time? Clip-in is everything.
Good stuff Jeff! Thanks for the upload. No power meter data?
Way higher vibes on this event.
Lol thought this was from Andrew Callaghan
Nice riding! Looks like a blast.
This makes me remember of the time when Shingo Shoji once challenged Takumi on a Duct-tape death match😆
MAAAAAAAAN, THIS LOOKS GREAT
awsome format. whish there would be something like this here in europe maby like berlin
Fantastic video ! I loved Fixies !!!
06:52 Terry Barentsen is in the House 😄
This is such an exciting sport!

Shoutout to Chas Christiansen for keeping the scene stokeddd
this looks hela fun
My knees want to jettison out of my skin just watching this craziness
Love this!
new subs here! I really love your content and I learned a lot of strategies on your videos!! Godbless and more power to your channel dude!! From philippines
that 2 turn area is probably your favorite because you overtook so many people at that area lmao
It's coming ROME, another success for Italy 😂
Great footage and race to work on technique!
I'm pretty sure you could do faster laps with brakes or at least a front brake. Were they not allowed at all like on a velodrome?
If I were doing this, I would turn an old steel 10 speed frame into a fixed single gear bike or a fixed two gear bike. This way other bikes that bump into me move more due to me having the heavier bike, which helps since I am so light of a rider.

Wow. that was so very cool and fun.
very cool race format
looks fun!
Super well done video!!
its the boys from SJF!
Where did this race take place? I've never raced but I need to do this!
Where's Andrew?
❤
I think State has some impressive bikes. Just now learning about the brand. Nice video. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Spray grease on track surface be much more fun
I like it how someone casually already falling after 30 _seconds_. :D
