Great video! Was a good race too. Keep it up
Thanks, I'm trying to do more content like this. It was great racing with you too!
Love this, very interesting and great quality video. Keep it up!
Thank you 🙏 Gonna hopefully be doing more stuff like this
Great video, nice commentary and a. awesome recovery following the crash
Thanks man. I was lucky that I wasn't hurt from the crash!
Great video, love the multiple angles and on screen data.
Cheers. Glad you liked it!
I crashed in the same place with 2 laps to go in the A race 🤦🏻♂️ great race though. You crushed it 👊🏼
That's unfortunate, hopefully you weren't hurt in the crash.
Great video, thanks for posting!
Cheers man, glad you enjoyed the video!
After hitting straight into the man’s lower back, would have been polite to ask if he was fine? Dangerous stuff, i have seen people getting partially paralysed for the rest of their life’s in similar crashes.
Racing a fixed crit is definitely dangerous stuff but we all knew what we were getting into signing up for the race.
Don't worry, he's fine. I spoke to him after the race.
great stuff thanks for the interesting race commentary
Thank you! 🙌
that was sick!!!! keep it up!!!!
Thank you!
The crash thought!
It was like a hit and run 🤣
Really entertaining to sit through. Enjoyed the stats and chitchat, bravo!
Thanks bro, trying to see if talking over the whole video would help make the video more interesting 👍
@@sneakyniky91 Came for the crash, stayed for the commentary
I loved the intro! ⚠
Thanks man
Yes
Lovely video. Hope that I can join you guys next year
Cheers man! You'll be smashing it for sure 💪
This is great footage. We have occasional fixie crits here and I love them. Novice racer as well here but I do feel like from the footage your (and everyone else’s) complex area line choices have some pretty serious room for improvement. I’m not sure if the angle or the lens is affecting it, but it seems like everyone is missing corner apex by 8-10 inches, and seems to be more concerned with staying in the middle of the track rather than straightening the corners and riding as efficiently as possible. Hit corner apex with your axles not your shoulders (especially if they’re cones) and make sure to connect chicanes as straight and fast as you can. If there’s track where you think is a faster line, use it. Overall, this kind of footage is amazing to find on CZcams as there aren’t many fixed Crit videos on here. Amazing riding and insane speed getting up and riding from the crash. Congrats on the 2nd!
Thanks man! Definitely still have a lot of room for improvement. I'm still pretty new to racing bikes but can't wait to do more of it!
Great video
Thanks!
Killed it 🤯
cheers man 🙏
That's such a sick video! I loved that you talked throughout the whole video, felt like I was there. I didn't know your gps dropped on that crash lol and you overtook the drunk guy 3x hahahaha sick dude! Looking forward to the next one!
Hahah thanks bro, time to get ready to race this weekend!
@@sneakyniky91 let’s gooooo 🔥

Good job Nick, congrats on second place! Great race, I want to start going to hhv too 😎✌
Cheers man. You should! A bunch of us go pretty regularly, come join us whenever you're up for it.
I ride bikes quite a lot, but never ridden a fixie. I enjoyed your race video !!
Thank you, you should try it, fixed gear bike are really fun to ride!
Great video and what a come back. Curious what camera you’re using and what attachments to get it on the bike? Love that full 360 view
Cheers man. I'm using the insta360 X3 and it's mounted on a GoPro mount on my bars.
amazing!
Thanks!
thx cool video is the brake less hoods?
Cheers, yes it is a 3D printed fake hoods
Great race man! What bars do you use?
Hey cheers man! I've seen a few of your videos too, really cool stuff.
I'm using the Pro Vibe Aero Handlebars.
What ratio did you run for this race and were you happy with your choice?
I was running 53/14, about 100 gear inches. It felt really good but did feel like I was spinning out on some of the faster bits of the course.
Thanks, was wondering the same.
Yeah I don’t know much about fixies, I can’t imagine what the learning curve is like for cornering
Definitely takes a bit to get used to, but its so fun!
What handlebars are you using ?
I’m using the Pro Vibe Aero Alloy bars
@@sneakyniky91 Thanks !
