Fixation

This is a fun movie! I need to watch it again 'cause I viewed it on my laptop, but thoroughly enjoyed. I'm something of a geezer but I love everything fixie. I know there was a complaint about the sound on this video but it didn't bother me. I'll watch it again and again as I set up my rollers to do some indoor training. Highly recommend. Wish I had known about it sooner.

I enjoyed this film more than I thought I would. I like a lot of cycling films and have definitely been subjected to some horrible crap vintage hipster garbage. A lot of these films try to be artsy and think that the way they ride is so unique and better than what you ride. They also tend to cast or capture only the tattoo'd cigarette smoking, pabst drinking jack wagons who think they are going to go head to head with a car and win. I am not going to lie, thats what I thought I was going to watch. This film does have those people too, but it shows much, much more of the fixed/single speed scene. Instead I was able to see what most people don't see or know about the single speed bike! The fun, the racing, and the friendship of these guys. Not everybody rode the same or had the same bike, some guys only road on the track pushing themselves to accomplish the speed that many think is only achievable on a bike multiple gears. I also saw that unlike a lot of other cycling, it was not about how much money you have and how light your bike is, it is about riding and riding only. After watching this film I was pumped! It gets your heart racing! You want to go out there and see what you can do on the single speed! See what style of fixed riding you enjoy! Don't get me wrong fixed gear is certainly trendy in many cities, just because its trendy doesn't mean it cant be thrilling and fun. This film was not done with a big budget but was done with a lot of passion for the bikes and went out to find the riders most passionate about this to tell you why they ride. The film wants you too ride not sit and study a culture.

This video is legit, with mini documentary of west coast fixie riders and awesome soundtrack.

Never ordered this.

This documentary moved me to purchase my own fixed gear. I absolutely love the movie and the bike. They are right in how smooth and quiet riding a fixed gear is.

I watched this documentary on Netflix. It follows the course of enthusiasm around this style of recreation and why it's important to those involved. The audio levels are so outrageously out of balance i spent as much time adjusting the volume as i did watching the action. You will be heavily distracted by how the doc instantly changes from a mumbling interview to loud music, and that the levels required to hear a lot of the interviewees themselves are imbalanced amongst themselves, which feels like a set up for a noise complaint. One second after the interviewee stops talking, you will need to immediately turn the volume down, a jagged up and down routine that may remind the viewer of biking through most cities and towns on the planet. Credited for this bipolar cycling nightmare is the mixer/sound editor Jon Greasley. I hope his prospective future clientele will take a few minutes to hear his portfolio to better understand what i'm writing about.

Awesome

Perfect for late at night, when you can't ride or sleep
