at 2:32 there is a red early model and a late model schwartz vert

which one of you guys is it?

[Kerrath]

Thats odd. Im sure it felt easier because of the small gear ratio and the small overall diam on the wheels but Im sure if you were to test this the road bike, on its smallest gear ratio, it would be faster.

Not with the rear hub it has on it.

[Farbin Kaiber]

Maybe I should have Farbin take the pics since hes pretty much the most respected phauxteux shooter on this board.

Truth. Sigworthy.

[Turf1600]

Band of Horses. Buy their albums.

I think I will, Del. I think I will.

[delatlanta1281]

I actually just saw them in concert. They are way good, kind of like a modern southern rock band.

[regnu]

I need to go skate now...

[gazellebeigem3]

fags

[Il Duce]

Del- I still skate. You can have the best of both worlds of course....

[delatlanta1281]

I know you do man. I have said this before, only in another thread. i look at the fixed gear fad through a lifelong skateboarders eyes. It is an excuse to be different from the norm just like rollerblading was. There are people that belong on a fixed, then there is everyone else. Just like rollerblading. Street and vert BMX has been around forever just like skateboarding and it will outlast all of these "trends", just like skateboarding.
I am in no way opposed to you guys having fun, I just dont think guys should be rolling up their jeans or wearing Capri pants. Nor should they carry a purse and flip the bills to their caps up. Just my opinion, I think the bikes are pretty, but that's all they are. i respect a Haro subvert or a Yeti way more than these. Just like I think a sector 9 looks cool, or a snake board is different, they will never be a "skateboard". They are an offshoot of the "core" sport and the masses cling to them b/c they are easy to pick up and learn. I can see you guys learning how to ride bacwards or wheeelie these bikes, or learn fs and bs slides. But how many of you will ever do a handrail, or a backflip, or haul ass down a steep incline after a 10 mile climb on a trail, or drop into a 12ft vert ramp?
Very few. That's why I never quit skating, because it was all there for me. If I got on a long board, it was fun, but not the same.
JUST MY OPINION. Have fun and give 100% in whatever you have fun doing.

Del, I can see fixed becoming almost an artform like freestyle BMX. I know that was a fad too but people still do it.
