I bmxed for ten years, jumped on a fixed for a year of commuting/tricks/bombing around town etc, after this i've concluded that as much as I love riding fixed, i'm going back to an SS 24 inch mtb for tricks with a freecoaster, fakie is completely different on fixed, but once you can fakie on fixed you can do it on anything!
My fakie riding got really good on fixed, and after a year of no bmx pretty much, I jumped straight on a mates bmx and fakied for 15-20 ft first time! It was worth riding fixed just to learn that, my fakie skills used to be shit on bmx lol!
