Um, because it's fun? Why do you ride a bike 9 sizes too small for you?

Yeah, totally dude; not to mention to get fit/being able to get places without using cars/having a blast at the same time? Sounds pretty, pretty gay to me. But hey, BMX is the only thing that should be ridden to display how hardcore you are.

Yet another great discussion in this fantastic thread...

To be fair, each to their own... People should be judged on their character rather than what they're riding. With that being said, there is sometimes an apparent attitude of elitism or such that is associated with the fixed scene.

You'll find there are just as many wankers in bmx as there are that ride other bikes.

Yeah but the fixed scene involves a very special breed of wanker, the dreaded hipster.

Doesn't mean fixies can't be fun though.
Still, smoking fixies on the BMX is more fun.

Yep, because there certainly aren't any hipsters in BMX...

I don't get it with hipsterism. Everyone is a hipster, yet they spend their lives persecuting others of the exact same breed.

Haha, talking mass amounts of shit about how she used to race track bikes and then nearly falling off the platform on Jack's bike... Too good

Had my first ride on my new funday today. hooked up a chain that broke in about 1 hour, pretty pissed there. Other wise enjoying the bike a lot, riding with brakes is weird, makes the bike feel odd.

Went and rode 'The Shed' tonight.. Recently opened to the public just this weekend. I have to say, I am sooooo impressed with the setup. The time and money they have poured into the joint is crazy!! Everything is amazing to ride, and the setup is just crazy!! Its the best indoor setup i've seen EVER!!!! If you're ever in Melbourne, you HAVE to check it out and shred it!!!!

A new park is getting build near my house and will be open by the end of this year.
A few of my mate went there on the saturday and the workers let them ride.

saw the footage of tom boormans crash yesterday. it was horrible, he slipped out on leaves and took a dive head first into the concrete at usual tom boorman speeds.
pretty gnarly. apparently he will be good to ride in a few months!
