has it really taken this long to realize that Fixed gears are the new skateboards?
1) highest visibility people doing silly tricks on them are in California
2) EXTREEEEEEEME!
3) Everybody's getting into doing tricks that show control, but have little to do with practical riding.
4) fashion fashion fashion
5) sponsors

sounds like it's only a matter of time to me before something involving fixed gears can be found in the X-games.
