FIXED GEAR: the movie
Does anyone else feel like they are in a bad snowboarding movie from the 1990's? except where fixies are the snowboarders and road racers are the skiers both in a constant battle for the mountain. And in the end they race to settle the argument and to get the girl.

I don't think I've ever had any issue or battle with any road biker, ever. I still hate skis though, purely because I never enjoyed it as much as I do snowboarding. There's just as many stupid skiiers out there as there is stupid snowboarders.

The final battle has to involve all the aspects of our respective styles. There will need to be a sprint across town in rush hour to a house party where you have to drink 4 bottles of PBR (the roadie tries to cheat by putting the bike on top of their VW Jetta and driving to the party but they get stuck in traffic) followed by a 30 mile paceline ride at 20mph (the fixie is way ahead at the start but the squids keep making him pull at the front so the roadie catches up and passes him) that ends up at the top of the slalom course for the dramatic finish where the fixie edges out the roady by a trispoke. Don't know why it has to be a slalom course, but its seems thats where they always end.
just remember: If you french fry when you're supposed to pizza, you're gonna have a bad time.

and when the fixie riders win they start having a trick session like in Quicksilver. which would kinda be as good as the end of You Got Served.
oh shoot maybe a fixed gear version of You Got Served. How do I come up with these amazing movie ideas?

i'm thinking of the Johnny Tsumnami(sp?) movie that was on Disney in the 90's .. skiers vs snowboarder.. skiers were all preppy and rich.. while johnny was the cool kinda hippy surfer kid. ha

I dimly remember a snowboarder in the ski/ titty themed moview "Ski Patrol". This guy had some kind of multiple personality disorder and he wore a mask on the side of his head that was his more insane personality. Oh yeah, and he broke all the rules.

For those of us who get on that Disney Channel groove: Johnny Tsunami? This would make a sweet Disney Channel movie. Bike Polo should play a roll, and there should be a leg-shaving scene. Messengers vs. Commuters, perhaps?

A lot of us ride multispeed road bikes and fixies though. Last tuesday my girlfriend and I tooks our bikes to the metropark for a recreational ride, and yes I used a bike rack strapped to my VW New Beetle. Granted I don't fit in with the majority of the roadies on here, as I don't have a full kit, use toeclips, and mostly bike to commute to school and stuff, but I think it's worth pointing out.
Now, if you're talking OCP's vs. the Fakengers, you've got a script.
