Lots of skateboarders/bmxers ride fixed, but that is where the connection starts and finishes. There is already a name for FGFing or whatever you want to call it and thats Circus Bicycling, and its about as new as big ben.
The one thing that coming from a skate or 'action sport' background gives you is the vision to look at things from a "freestyle" perspective. Although my best skating days are well behind me i still look at every potential handrail/walride etc that i pass and imagine how i would tackle it.
However i am lucky enough to have a large quiver of bikes, so that i have a bmx that i use for when i want to, a DH bike, a ss hardtail, a 24Inch jump bike etc and from time to time i like to try and do stuff on one bike that it wasnt designed to do as its a challenge, but for me fixed will always be about charging round urban enviroments as fast as you can, thats were the buzz is for me.
That guy on the scooter makes me want to try that sh!t! I used to work for the playstation skatepark when it first opened, and we were always trying to ride anything we though we could round there for shits and giggles, from scooters to snakeboards to shopping trolleys! Some of the guys got pretty sh!t hot on the scooters

Snowboarding, skateboarding, surfing, mtbing and bmxing (lots of 'ings) really puts into perspective that to ride FGF is gash
