Off road fixed gear

i know people do ride fixed off road but i just couldn't imagine pedaling through a really bumpy section when pumping the bike with pedals level is so much quicker and smoother, the idea of riding jumps and drops fixed doesn't appeal to me and the pedal strikes would piss me off no end. everything i like about riding fixed on the road just doesn't transpose to the way i like to ride off-road

Yep my thoughts.

For me the most fun type of mountain biking has to be proper downhill with dual suspension and all the trimmings... (Except that you do tend to hurt yourself very badly, rather often)
