I'll play devil's advocate for a moment here.
The edit was half decent (in terms of production that is).
The rider seemed pretty skilled.
He's doing more on/with the bike than 90% of "fixie" edits that consist mainly for riding moderately fast, gratuitous amounts of silly skidding and general posing. It's obviously not on the same level of this: Chris Akrigg - One gear, no idea! - YouTube
but it's really not that shocking (and the production is better).
Yes it is a bit silly, but it isn't as terrible as everyone's making out.
Anyway, criticising fixed gear web edits is like shooting fish in a barrel.
