Honorable Mentions

There are a two honorable mentions. The FOAD Gang, which has done a series of videos about fixed gear tricks. It’s worth your time if you’re intersted in Fixed Gear Free Style (FGFS). Additionally, Terry Barensten does a hotline series about messengers riding fixed gear bikes in New York City. The hotline pieces are great. Terry doesn’t ride fixed himself. But, he does have a pulse on the messenger scene and it’s worth your time as well.
