If poker players don't like doing card tricks, they don't make a fuss about people who do. Get over it!
True. But, there were no better bikes for doing tricks than BMX bikes.
There is not one trick done on a fixed gear that wasn't done 25 years ago on a BMX.
Had you done wheelies, rollbacks, barspins 30 years ago, people would have thought you were RAD. Now, it's lame.
People don't care what kind of bike you use for a trick. They just care that the trick is impressive. Trials bikes are dorky as hel...but the tricks are mind blowing.
THERE ARE NO IMPRESSIVE TRICKS DONE ON FIXED GEAR BIKES. You guys can't even do the tricks that were done in Quicksilver 20+ years ago...by BMX riders being paid to ride fixed gears for the movie. You are too busy doing tricks that any middle school BMXer can do. Seriously.
