I ride Fixed and dirt Jump
I started riding fixed because of all the cool tricks you could do and skidding to be honest.
And I stayed for the connectiveness to my bike, as well as the simplicity of the bike it's self.
Also I'm building one from scratch at the moment and going all out Crazy with the parts seems to be more excepted in the fixed gear community.
I also have a DJ but that's just Singlespeed.. sending jumps fixed on that thing would be bonkers..
