If you had seen the film, you would know the answer to that....

..

that's a fine film.

that's a fine film.

Greatest martial arts flick, "like, EVAR!!!!!!!!!11111"

If you had seen the film, you would know the answer to that....

Fuck off, master.

Fuck off, master.

Oh you shall have to carry ridiculously large jars of water on your shoulders whist repeatedly kicking a board to atone for that.....don't spill a drop!!!

Apart from the fact they're not.

but you would have be very pedantic to suggest that..

oh.

1. a bike and people to ride with
   
   

all that other stuff is marketing bullshit for bedwetters.
stylistic trends of no merit apart from the mutual appreciation of other slaves to a designers whim.

What a load of bollocks!

It's just a f*cking bike for christs sake....makes no difference what bike it is...it can be a mtb,road,fixed,or a bloody penny farthing.
Five elements my arse...there's only one element that matters...and that's do it cos YOU want to do it..regardless of what everyone else is doing...all this kind of thread does is make riding fixed seem even more of a scene than some people already think it is.
I don't give a hoot about it's supposed five elements...if you want to ride it on the track,rollers,road,or just from your bedroom to the bathroom so you can watch yourself trying to trackstand in a bigger mirror,with your vintage bmx pants on,whilst sitting on your new lo-pro,with your new champ grips on the bottom of your drops which you can't even reach...then do it.
But don't start another pointless thread about the supposed '5 elements of fixed' when you've only been riding fixed for a few months.

Now i may be coming across as a grumpy old man...but damn...people have been riding fixed for longer than any of us have been alive and they didn't winge on about how great or cool it was,or how many different things you can do on it...they knew what could be done on them cos they were out doing it instead of group wanking over how many things they can do on it.

afuckinmen!!!
