The best fixed gear video yet!
I know there have been some videos posted on here before. But this video blows them all away as far as I am concerned. These guys are great!!!!! The site seems to be very busy (or just slow) so it might take a while to download. But well worth the wait!

The site's slow and I haven't been able to get at the video. Is this the video showing a group in tight white outfits doing acrobatic "dance" type moves in a small arena?

For me the Chariots of Fire music killed it but that is more talent than I have.

it's true. I have posted this clip 3 times on bike forums. I forget there is 116 people looking at this. small audiance, sorry for the repeat. I compared the clips to fighting because its a far cry from artistic cycling. we can agree to that, even you. My clip is a 1 minute tease for a forty minute project. I assure you there is plenty o footage mashin and mobbin to keep you on your toes. oh, and as for mtv.. if you like mtv, you will love messenger, the puma promo of alf. and i didn't see any backwards circles in this, did you? your right, bmx came first, and i'm sure some of these guys have spent time on a 20in bmx, but not going 40mph around town... cookiemonster I started a list and your the only sourpuss on it. luv

Regarding the four guys on fixies doing the routine, if they were riding unicycles, that wouldn't seem that amazing. They are using their fixed-gears as unicycles with the rest of the bike as a counter-weight.
It's still cool though.
Not as cool as anything that Kevin Jones, Chase Gouin, or Paul Osicka can throw down with a parking lot, a freewheel, and no brakes.
(I wonder who's gonna pick up on that reference?)

Here's a very recent photo of Kevin Jones that I shot for Ride UK (on newsstand now)
Trick: Switch elbow glide on the pedal
This is all uncanny balance. Notice that he has no fingers on the brakes.
