Freewheel is great for maintaining a speed without moving allowing you to concentrate on other things.
Fixed gives you great slower speed control and easier balance control.... granted if you can learn to do this freewheel, hopping rolling back etc. you can get really good at it.
Fixed attack is a bit all or nothing or a bit slow and controlled.
Freewheel = soaring flowing movement
fixed = a bit clumsy and limited (says fixed player)
