i beg to differ. first of all, riding a fixed gear and locking up the rear wheel means that putting your other foot on the tire isn't doing **** because the wheel is already stopped. also, in a "proper" ted shred, provided doing it "proper" means doing it the way he does it, he is using his heel, definitely not his toe, and it is most definitely a freewheel.
