Young Groms from John Prolly on Vimeo.
I was at the Polo Pit today riding around working on lines when these two kids came up and watched me ride for about 30 minutes. They approached me and started asking questions so I picked up my camera and filmed them. Young guns soon to be rippers!
Sorry the volume's so low, but if you turn it up on your computer and in the video, you can hear them fine.

Great blog man!!! Love hearing about what going on up in NYC. It's great seeing how technology is being used to spread the word about fixies... I am just now getting into biking and everyone talking about fixed gear bikes out there has made it really easy to learn fast.

I'm 13 and I ride fixed. I'm surprised that other kids do it, I thought I was alone.

Can we all make a pact to never use the word "grom" "groms" or "grommet" in reference to younger human beings on fixed gear bikes again?

this rules... I want to get my cousin a bike now!
more kids, please ride!

No offense Prolly, but I most definitely did not expect your voice to sound like that at all.
Great job being cool with those kids. Kids in NYC got more culture than college kids in the midwest.
