tommy. I don't even ride bmx as i lack any bike skills, i just think that the general public just see a bike if i was a researcher/producer for top gear looking for a story on bike v's car i would look at the stuff on dvd and the net and from a non cyclist point of view pick the kind of bikes and riders to make a 10 minute piece about a particular car. i don't think they would pick a fixed wheel cyclist to do the story, they have done dan atherton on his downhill bike the idea was nicked from the red bull race in lisbon and a couple of bmx's as lets face it getting airtime or manualing along a wall and grinding a hand rail is far more visually exciting than a fixed skid and barspin.
i don't hate fixed tricks i just think they look a bit tame compared to what's out there in the world of 20,24,26, that chinese girl knows her shit though.
