Great post Jeez, the part of it that made me think the most being this,
But if it is all about pushing yourself to do new and interesting things on a bike then open your mind to the sort of bike you want to be on to acheive those things.
It made me realise that while some fixed trick riders are pushing what's possible on a fixed wheel bike, the people that are doing this on bmx's are doing things that are on a completely different level and maybe that's where the attraction of doing fixed tricks on a bike that's not a million miles away from a track bike comes from.
As the bikes get closer to bmx's or mtb's the level of riding must do so too.
I think what i'm trying to say is that a backflip on a track bike is more impressive than a backflip on a bmx that doesn't freewheel.
