- Fixie Content follows... [/url]

A little bit 'too cool for school' perhaps (love the guy with the cigarette hanging off his bottom lip!) but some pretty damn good bike handling skills on display...

reminds me of Nothern Soul dancing - ie. impressive skills but ropey as **** style.

prefer stuff like [url= http://www.vitalmtb.com/videos/features/Vanderham-and-Fairclough-Whip-Warm-Up,991/sspomer,2 ]this[/url] personally

God, that BMX video is about as exiting as the surfing DVD I have... Same trick over and over and over and over

the fixie stuff is impressive but then some chap rode past with one of those hats on with the dangily tassels and I immediately discounted everything. It's the least manly thing I've ever seen a man wearing. I've seen men wearing dresses and stockings who look less pathetic than him.

Yeah, I've seen Danny's vid shot in Edinburgh (hasn't the whole world by now? ๐Ÿ˜† ), that's brilliant stuff...

I can't do any of this stuff, I struggle to pull a manual for gods sake... so I guess I'm impressed easily ๐Ÿ˜‰

That 'Fit Trails Tour: France' clip is bloody good ain't it! Love the choice of music, something different to the pumping gnarcore rock/electro that usually gets used!

The whole tricks on fixies thing looks a bit clumsy and shite really. The guy doing the lame back hops sums up how bad it all looks. I bet all those skaters in the background were pissing themselves laughing at the "hipsters".

lame and tedious to the extreme, like those 2 girl circus tricks videos but even sh*tter
compared to the skilz of bmx/street riders those fixie-pr*cks are talentless conceited narcissists wasting time with a video camera.

That fixie video is laaaaame. There really is only one trick and it looks rubbish.

Kit - Only one trick? Are you sure? Trail riding isn't really about tricks however there are a lot more than one trick in that vid. So much more style that fixie wheelies too.

fair enough... though, can anyone deriding them actually do the same trick?

this is a bit more like it: [url=

Been posted before, but it's got what that 1st one is lacking: bit more variety, bit more actual skillz and a sense of... wait for it... it being fun to do!

Sorry but that fixie stuff is like learning to juggle, you do it enough and you'll get there.

That 4 friends 4 bikes is pretty freaking awesome. When 360ing off north shore across a 20 ft gap onto a downslope, at some point you gotta trust yourself enough to have a go in the first place. They have skill and reactions that I think most people simply aren't born with.
