I wouldn't mind cruising one, but don't think I'd purchase it...

I dunno. Looks like a lot of fun if you can master it. Great music to ride to

Looks like it could make a fun core workout. That and just imagine the first turn in a tight group ride.

Is there an advantage to it, or is it just to be different?

It looks like a trip to the hospital! I certainly wouldn't want to ride one of those Brokies (If a normal bike of that class is a "fixie"...)

I have said it before and I will say it again, "If you don't skid your tidy-whiteys, why would you skid your bike?"

They seem to be coasting a lot to be riding on fixies.

I'd hate to try that bike with a hard out of the saddle hill climb.

That would be someone trying to sell a new bicycle that seems neither practical or appealing.
