Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

Ideal gear inches and proper technique for skidding and curb hopping?

I'm looking for recommended gear inches for BOTH skidding and curb hopping.

Are they one in the same or will there be a compromise to be able to both?

And what are your techniques for both?
