‘Performance’ rap music video pokes fun at roadies, fixed gear riders


Still from Performance.

Local road racers Robin Moore and Jake Salcone have put together a hilarious music video called Performance that skewers the fashion and behavior of roadies and fixed gear riders.

The video is set in Portland and the song contains some stinging lines about fashion-conscious fixed gear riders by a roadie rapper named MC SpandX.

“An anodized chain, cards in your spokes… how can you ride, your pants are a joke?” goes one of the lines.

This is one of the funniest things I’ve seen in a long time. While it’s harsh on fixed gear riders, the MC SpandX is so over the top about himself he actually ends up making just as much fun of himself.

Watch MC SpandX lay it down rap-style against the fixie set…

I know what I’ll be singing on the way home today… that’s right, “Performance, that’s the name of the game. I pump up my tires and I oil my change… And I always ride through the pain.”
