Fixed-gear Single Speed is what’s up!

The video looks pretty cool and I actually JUST got a bike but it’s not a single speed fixed-gear. I mean, I did some research and basically you take any racing bike and take out all the Derailleur gears - that’s all that junk that lets you change gears. Once you take out all the gears, you’re just stuck with a handle bar, the frame, the chain and the wheels. That apparently lets you get great control and you can, as you can see, do some random tricks.

I mean, I’m not 18 anymore and I really don’t want to break any teeth but I think I might go and get myself a cheap, used, racing bike, rip out the gears and the breaks and all that and see how it is.
