In no way am I complaining at trick riding on a fixed gear, or saying it shouldn't happen - I have no right to - but I just find it to seem a little odd on a fixed gear.
Some tricks look pretty good - and cant really be done on any other type of bike, but the majority of tricks (and anything that involves jumping, bunny hopping) I feel looks clumsy and awkward... Something which is much easier and pleasing to the eye on a BMX or a jump bike.
Every time I watch a video of people doing it, half of me thinks 'yeah thats cool' and the other half thinks 'wouldn't another bike be better?'
As I said, this is not a complaint, more of an inquisitive question to the world of the trick fixed bikers!
