Is this scene so new...
 
that it doesn't translate well into photos yet? Some of this stuff just looks wrong to me. Trying to take action shots of 'tricks' just like you would with skateboarding... is this guy bailing?

somebody needs to photochop a rodeo bull under that dood.

I like the congregation of messenger bags sittin' on the curb, drinking 40's.

And you are correct, tricks on track bikes just look dumb on camera... Novel in person, but never exciting...

There is a fine line between loving your bike and "loving" you bike.

or in other words. One should not dry-hump your bike.

what about pulling out the seatpost and jamming the seat tube with grease?

I can't determine if he's riding on his handlebars or doing that weird front dismount thing..

Wheelies always look cool on camera though.

first problem is some track bike tricks look like artistic cycling. second is timing.

Sadly my bikes 27.2mm seat tube diameter doesn't do it for me. :(

Gotta get with the 26.8. Just right.

Hipster 'fixie' kit long ago took the lead in effeminate.

The graphic hoodies and bandanas look faaabulous.

carleton 03-13-07 09:42 AM

How rad can fixie freestyling be or ever get? There are only 4 tricks. 5 if you count riding with no hands.

- Skid
- Wheelie
- Blender
- Deathtruck

Coming from BMX, ive never seen any fixie trick done that was anything at all to talk about. Theyre all pretty laughable IMHO.

What about a hoodie, jeans, and bandana are effeminate to you?

Dude, you're totally forgetting about the Dead Albatross, Cracked Musket, and Officer Jenkins. Not to mention the Reverse Pedicure.
