How do you pull that one off?

Frankly I don't know that I've ever experienced a "sweet fixie bro!" moment, except from people I know saying it in jest.
Once I had a guy in full kit coming the opposite way on a trail yell "SPIIIINNN" at me he passed. That's about close as I've gotten.

...which is a real shame because when I first built up the fixed gear I was under the impression everyone would ooh and ahh every time I rolled down the street. I was lied to.
