The future of fixed gear freestyle?


Elevated Engineering: Miles Mathia - Volume 3 from Elevated Engineering on Vimeo.

It's crazy to see where FGFS can go, and seeing someone going straight from urban tricks to dirt jumping is especially wild. I've never actually never seen someone doing dirt jumps on a fixed gear, I've only heard talk on forums/Prolly. It would seem that fixed gear tricks are dividing two ways: The heavily BMX influenced huge gaps/grinds/360° spin stuff that can break your top tube in half and then the more fluid/eloquent flatland (traditionally track bike) tricks. Although this divide is occurring there may be a middle-ground, such as is shown with Michael Chacon who started with strong flatland roots and now incorporates them into his other tricks.
