Is there interest in a Freestyle Subforum in here?

give to them so they dont flood this subforum
Carleton's hatin' is the best 
Yeah, they don't realize that they are actually creating BMX Cruisers with FG hubs.
I wish I could find the two pics I had years ago of Prolly's FGFS bike and some guy's BMX Cruiser that happened to be the same color. The BMX Cruiser looked to be only one generation away from Prolly's FGFS bike. It was also cheaper and more durable.

BMX cruiser= Trials bike?
I don't understand FGFS. Why not just bmx? Probs cause scared to do real tricks.

Agreed. While I personally find FGFS lame to watch, if it's fun for you, great. Unless it's a bmx bike or trials bike, any bike people do tricks on is probably "inferior" for tricks and therefore should never be tricked on.
And if it isn't a pure road bike, it's "inferior" for road riding and shouldn't be used for riding on the road. I guess we all should get rid of our fixed gear road bikes too. Fixed gear bikes should only ever be ridden on the track for competition.
I like to ride my cyclocross bike on technical single track, but I guess I'm being dumb for having fun riding a bike instead of sticking to the bike that's best suited for its purposes, like my actual mtbs.

Honestly I ride fixed when it's not a "srs" ride to justify the roadie.

You can ask why all you want. Why do they do the same tricks on a 26" mountain bike and not use a little bmx? Why do you include SS in the FG forum? They only thing in common is one speed. But the SS has a freewheel and the FG doesn't. Why say use a bmx when it is even close to a FGFS, bmx use's a freewheel and the FGFS doesn't. One thing for sure it is a lot harder to do those tricks on a 26" mountain bike and FGFS then a bmx.

I could go play golf with a baseball bat, which makes it harder. But no one will give me praise for doing so. They will just call me crazy.

Maybe for you it's not worth "your time or money". But you cannot speak for everyone else. This is not carleton's world. I have more respect for the guys that try to do the tricks on the bigger bikes and don't chicken out because it's to hard to do. Where would this world be if everybody chicken out!

Carleton - please stop being so hateful. There are a lot of things in the world you may not like or agree with and people are allowed to be into what they're into. I'm sure there are plenty of people on the planet who think track racing is stupid.

I'm entitled to my opinion on the subject. I'm not attacking anyone in particular.

of course you are welcome to your opinion, but you are not entitled to use your long-time member/mod status to restrict enthusiasts of other fixed gear genres than you prefer from participating in this fg/ss forum, which you do not own...

My post count and join date are arbitrary numbers.
Look, yes, I AM very handsome and both women AND men like to do what I ask of them. I can't help that. But, I'll be more careful.

FGFS should have it's own separate forum. Subforums tend to limit the amount of people who see them and cause overcrowding of the main forum (seen it on plenty of other forums).
FGSS riders can't really give recommendations on gear or relate to the same experiences. Let them feel comfortable around similar people.

Still kicking.
I absolutely like my 26" wheel dj bike, I look extremely out of place on a 20 and 24.

Out fishing with Annie on his lap, a cigar in one hand and a ginger ale in the other, watching the sunset.

And the SS/FG Freestyle Forum is open, on the main page, right below this one.
