Throwback Thursday - First Bicycle Trick Ever


While I'm not sure if this was the first ever bicycle trick, it definitely has its place in time. I see the fixies riding around town trying to match what this guy is doing and can't hold a candle to him. Props to Thomas Edison for capturing it on film too. He was probably a bad ass hipster back in the day.

    There is a good moment of lol’s in the 2nd part when the guy is cruising around and totally biff’s it taking the corner. haha.

    That’s rad! Thanks for finding that. I like the loop attempt and the way they designed it so the entry transition moves to become the exit transition.

    That is really some rad footage. Thanks for sharing it Carl. Living in a college town, I’ve seen a lot of fixie riders myself and you’re right, they just don’t have anything on that guy!

    This video is really interesting, but I think it’s fake! What do you think about those claims?
