Trickster Fixster Fixie Fest

Fixed gear trickster tricks
Fixie tricks are becoming the norm. Most have been molded from tricks from other bike disciplines, BMX, mountain, stunt, dirt etc, but fixed gear tricks have taken on a magic all to their own. The main word that comes to mind is smooth! The nature of a fixie bike is a smooth ride. Tricks shouldn't be jerky or misplaced. You should never look like your losing balance. You should be winding backwards and forwards in smooth almost ballet style motions with your tricks being like a triple flip of a figure skater. fixie tricks should be more of dance than anything else. A tip to try if you find this a difficult concept is to put on some music of your choice and see if you can ride to it.
