I caught your video on zlog the other day; it was a nice watch. 
The ride alongside with a classic car near the end is a nice touch.
My only complaint would be the lack of 1080p video

I made it to 1:36 before I had to turn it off. I cant stand watching that much of slow motion effects. Especially with that song. I just think (being someone who used to film/edit videos for skateboarding) there was alot more that you could do with that footage. Also, when you put together a video, dont look at it from your perspective. Try to think of it as what do I like to watch and would this keep me interested. Also, keep record of what tricks are being put where in the video. I mean, there were like 5 tricks total and seeing those 5 tricks done in a slow mo over a 3 minute period makes it boring and hard to watch.
I did however like the little bit from 0:45-0:50 though. I really just dont think freestyle fixed gear is ever going to be much more than a hobby. (First one to ride a halfpipe on a fixed gear with at least 3-4 feet of air wins. )

As for the OP:
Cool video. Thanks for sharing with us. As another poster said, try another version with less of the same tricks and less slow motion. The slow mo was cool but not for the entire video. All in all it was really cool though. I enjoyed watching it.
Check out this song too. You may like it as well for the video.

to the OP: you should try BMX sometime. Bikes/parts are cheaper+more durable, and because of the smaller size, would allow you to do a greater variety of tricks. Too much slo-mo for me, too much black and white. You do have some skill on that big bike though. Ever think of trials?

That means that they'd have to go practice harder and do bigger REAL tricks and that's NOT gonna happen.
FGFS is lame and easy.
