some flatland bmx folks use fixed gear, but it's seems to be mostly preference. see the video above. otherwise there is no point to have a fixed gear bmx bike unless you are just ****ing around or really small.

i dont think mods, as a representative to bikeforums.net should ever endorse anything as stupid as a suicide hub to a member. sorry, this is just weak.

That first bike looks seriously badass! I am thinking of doing this, there are so many potential frames to use, from kids bikes to discarded bmx's!

Am I missing something, or is pedal strike not a huge issue with these bikes?

Wow, a little bit more raise on the stem and you have the world's first barspinnable bike with track drops!
So I guess it's ok to do tricks on these bikes because they are BMX frames.
It would just probably suck.

Now I know not all people in the netherlands smoke copious amounts of weed or drop loads of pills and 'shrooms.
But the guy who put that combination together must have been high.
