FiXiE tRicKs !!
So i've been recently getting into doing tricks, because just riding gets boring sometimes. The problem is my old stripped down and spray coated thrown together getto rigged componentless Free Spirit (probably womens) 10-speed conversion doesn't seem to be working out. I was wondering if anybody had any suggestions on good frames for tricking, or even frame geometrys that work better for doing tricks, or am I just being a *****!!

At least post a non-POS BMX....
If you want a fixed to mess around on, get a Brooklyn or an FBM. My recommendation is to not use a bike meant for the track/street to do tricks on and just get a BMX + a fixie because you'll save yourself a lot of broken parts and be able to do real tricks.

If you want better responses to your post, you really should misspell a bunch of words.

If you want real advice I wouldn't ask in this forum, especially about anything other than riding your bike. Apparently no one here has ever steered away from the norm and everyone is just bland and dull straight and narrow cyclists.

it's funny... the OG messengers that were riding track bikes years before most of you could even speak NEVER say **** like "get a bmx"... those guys are the ones who think it's cool.
Learn something from your elders and the reason's you're riding "fixies" and just chill the f uck out on that note.
Quit being ***uing *****holes to someone who asks a legit question.
