Yes, that's me during the short stop skids competition at the final chapter of the Peel Sessions. Prolly & Chris ran the event and came up with a great idea. Instead of just skidding for distance, you ride up to a line drawn across your skidding area. You must have your wheel locked anytime before you hit the line but NOT after. Once in the skid you have to end in a track stand inside of a 10-12' designated square box about 20-25' away from the line. No foot down for a couple of seconds and you can't be outside of the box at all. If you are, you're out. After the first round you make the box smaller by a few feet. Next round you move it back farther. Then make it a smaller rectangle. Move it out farther and so on until the box can only fit ONE wheel and there's only one man left standing... Try it out at your next event... Also, if you're running anything close to a 44x17 gear ratio. Don't try racing against people on it. You WILL look like an jackass when you come in WAY last place. I knew I should've brought something faster...Update: Myself looking like less of a douche. More pics by J.Martinez here and John Prolly's blog write-up here...
Another Update: Video from Kierie of that night...
