as someone that comes from racing DH and riding street MTB for 8 years, i totally understand this guys attitude. I love fixed gear, but tricks on them are just meh and it needs to stop. ( BTW, that dancing flatland leotard girl crap is amazing, but just has no style and i'd rather leave the bleachers to get a snow cone) If you want to ride street on 700c for the speed in the city AND do tricks, get 36 spokes, fatter tires, a freewheel and a brake on your volume cutter. You will have so much more fun and you will be doing bigger tricks. Theres just no advantage to a fixed for tricks like this.
thats just my opinion.
