Hello. I'm not a normal subscriber to the BMX forum. Just wondering what the BMXers thought of the fixed-gear-freestylers. Check this out (http://www.vimeo.com/1005126).

Eh. not my thing but to each is there own. Looks awkward...

It's like using a screwdriver to pound nails.
But really, who cares. Let people ride what they like.
It just bugs me when they (MTBers as well) do tricks that BMXers invented 20yrs ago & surpassed 15 years ago then call it progression.

I think its pretty neat, maybe not the most efficient way, but we all like to ride and thats just their style. I would like to see more.

It's alright, but it's road bikes doing our shtuff. Not cool. The hop down the stairs was pretty cool for skinny wheels though.

That was the weirdest thing I've ever seen. Those must be some strong bikes to take that impact.

That was awkward >.>

I couldn't bring myself to watch the whole vid. It's cool that they can pull those tricks and all, but if they were on a bmx, I would have thought I was watching a vid from the 80's.

if thats their style, then let em ride

that was pretty dope. sometimes even those "easier" tricks are kinda hard to learn on a bmx bike, and i cant imagin how hard it would be to learn it on a fixed gear. thats so sick.

Those bikes aren't designed for that at all. The geometry, the strength of the frames and forks, the wheels. I've seen videos of forks snapping and frames being bent and I just can't stand it especially when it's a nice track frame designed to be ridden fast on the street or in the velodrome.

it still looks cool

Obviously, otherwise everyone would be doin it.

i openly admit to tarcking...and i as well bmx
both are completely different styles obviously..the only thing i dont approve of is grinding on a fixed gear..sigh

yea that just looks a little funny
