lately there has been alot of things floating around where there's a contrast and comparison between old school artistic cycling & bikes in general and new school fixed freestyle. first off, i recall showing a friend a video of ines brunn at BFF, and he told me something that baffled me: since she runs a 1-1 ratio, could she do all these things on a full fledged fixed freestly setup. he thought she couldnt, but i thought she could, finally, we have an answer.
this sparks a discussion. Superted and circus performer Paddy Waters got together and tore it up with setups that couldnt be any more different than eachother.![When Superted met Paddy by Different Spokes.](http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2714/4153194450_c5ec89d59e.jpg)

confused yet?
it's funny, fixed gear's are becoming more any more synonymous with a certain look. i dont have a problem with it, but i feel like my style of fixed gear is dissipating into the background as time progresses. iMiNUSD got bored and set up a leader 722TS 2 ways:
2009, the death of the bullhorn? most likely. what am i trying to get at? absolutely no idea.
