can i just point out that everyone is harping on about trick bikes being bombproof but they are only as bombproof as the rider!
if you can come off on a big set of steps and break your legs and your bikes ok.. what's the f**ing point!?
What a load of bollocks "only as bombproof as the rider" Thats the most bullshit statement I have ever heard, if a rider is pushing the limits of parts and breaking those parts without injuring him/herself then clearly they are more bombproof than the bike! and they need to upgrade their shit!
I jump down plenty of stair sets on my bike and my legs are fine thanks, because I know how to land a bike, obviously I do crash doing some things, but if I don't push myself regularly then I get bored shitless, and for me the whole point of this tricks thing is to progress, get better, and enjoy myself.
Its parts breaking that is the problem, and stronger parts/frames are being released and built all the time, a set-up that is built to cope with this kind of abuse, addresses this issue for fixed gear trick riders.
Slag it off take the piss out of the bikes aesthetics if you will, and the rest of you haters harping on about how it looks nothing like a traditional track bike can keep whinging also.....
But i'll continue to have a good time on my fixed-gear trick bike, jump down stairs, ride walls, banks. Now I finally feel I have got a bike that can take the abuse I am dishing out to it, I plan to enjoy riding it.
