Chris Layda’s Turning Tricks Week 8; A Fixed-Gear Bike Documentary of Evolving Skillz.

I just bumped into this nice Fixed-Gear Bike series created by Chris Layda. The goal of this self-documentary is for Chris to learn a new trick on his fixed-gear bike every week and record the progress on his weekly series, “Turning Tricks.” What I like about this series is the great production skills and editing of the video which makes it actually fun to watch, and not to mention the great sound track. And for me, I think these videos will be great inspirations when I pick up one of these fixies for myself one of these days.

“My name is Chris Layda, and this is my weekly video series called ‘Turning Tricks.’ Every week I try to learn at least one new trick, combination, or line. This series is meant to document my progress as a freestyle fixed gear rider.

This video marks 2 months of Turning Tricks. Not only is there new week 8 footage, but there is also a look back to some of the tricks learned this month as well as some unseen clips from various locations. Tricks from the month include: ledge and stair gaps, bunny hop to wheelie, bunny hop bar spins (bhbs), wheelie to nose pivot, rollout (keo) variations, 3 and 540 cabs, big spins (prolly spins), 3 taps, and possibly more… Thanks for watching! Stay tuned for next week.”
