[QUOTE=etchr]can you explain what you mean by that?
I was just saying that if someone starts riding a fixed-gear (for whatever reason), you can't expect them to be a pro right out the box.

there are actually quite a few people that just start to ride fixed and turn pro.

Eric Heiden comes to mind. He was an olympic speedskater and tried track cycling and two months later he was on the olympic team.

Jennie Reed comes to mind she is currently on the National team and just started riding about 1year ago. She is now a PRO with the Spike! Professional Track Cycling Team.
