Freestyle Fixis: The riding is impressive! No matter if you think fixi riders are a bunch of messenger bag wearing hipsters. A buddy and I used to ride urban/street freeride with a guy who rode a fixed gear who could pretty much match everything we were doing on our 26" dirt jumpers (giant stp and specialized p2). I found a deal on one and picked it up a couple months back. I could believe how much cool stuff you can do on them. Not to mention they can be great commuters due to their road-bike-like ride. They are simple, simple simple so if you leave it outside in the rain one day you don't have to to much to worry about. I still prefer riding my dr'r, xc bike, and freeride bike but I do love that fixi. It's more than a fad in my opinion. Fixis are here to stay.

^ there is a miniature Vivid Air inside to help dampen chain slap...obviously

got me stoked to build and ride this winter. But I live in Ohio...shit.

I've seen Aggy throw down before but I'm seriously not impressed. At least with the first half of the video. It looks like he was trying too hard and dragging his brake everywhere...he did have a sweet manual though.
