- Zipp rims will break if you look at them too hard
- R-Sys wheels will spontaneously explode
- The ZG crankset will never, ever exist
- Everyone needs Lightweights, even if they're fat and old
- Parts actually made of metal are SO 10 years ago

its not that hard if you practice at it, notice how forward he is on the bars, this makes there to be very little pressure on the rear wheel so it has less traction. you need: good balance on the bars, and be able to spin fast and long.

here is a video of SF fixed gear riders:

notice how when they are not pedaling (rear wheel not moving) they are leaned forward on the bike which = less traction

I saw some BMX guys at a bike show doing some impressive stunts, then one did the stunts on a road bike-I was really impressed then.
