Is this the part of the thread where we argue that fixed gear tricks are way less impressive than a half-decent BMX rider? Or should that wait till page 2?

you should see the big wheels fixie stunt artists, they use special 700c bikes and parts to handle their skillfull flatland tricks.
I appreciate the effort and skill, but with me being a former bmxer, I still like the flatland freestyle displays on the 20inch trick bikes with spin bars. |

Sure most bikes are not made for these tricks, but there is a market for them and appropriate frames and parts are being made every day. I'm not even into tricks that much but I still appreciate them. They may not be as technical or impressive as bmx, but you don't need to do spins down giant stair sets or flips to have fun. Besides, most trick riders use their bike to get around too. I'm sure they enjoy that aspect as much as any of us and prefer it over riding a bmx from place to place.
mind you i'm **** at tricks. whatever. also i don't get how he pops his rear tire up like that so high to get on top of those benches. i can't even see him really move his legs |
If a fixie can do it, why not do it?
