I Don’t Even Know What To Call This.


I don’t really know what to call this, but in short it’s a bunch of Japanese hipster kids riding big, track bike-esque frames but with 20″ wheels, doing tricks. I don’t know what they’re saying but I would imagine it’s something like “hey look at me, I’m doing something stupid on the internet and you’re watching it, kinda like the numa numa guy, but worse”. Personally I’m left to wonder what reason they could possibly give for wanting to ride a bike that looks so ridiculous and is obviously not suited for either transportation or doing tricks.

Thanks to Profile for Tweeting it at me.

    This is interesting. I never ever voiced any opinion on that Odyssey tandem, not like I give a shit. I don’t give a shit about this either. If you’re going to talk shit on me at least do a decent job, man.

    they look like theyre having fun… i like it

  • http://Website Teh Prof

    I don’t know about those particular frames, but for decades there have been 20″ wheel track bikes that fit basically like any other track bike, google alex moulton if you want to know more. They’re kind of fun, the wheels weigh a lot less than 700c stuff so the acceleration is pretty awesome.

    This is one more piece of proof that anyone who gets serious about tricks on fixie will eventually get curious about BMX, try one, and probably never go back.

  • http://Website btownallen

    they just wasted a ton of money on a bmx bike you cant bunnyhop on but you can rack your nuts on the top tube. get some frame standers, try looking in 1987.

  • http://Website treez

    tricks + fixies = trixies

  • http://Website OOOOOOO MAN!

    Kinda where I feel. Fuck it I dont care. As long as its fun to them its cool. I like it MORE then fixed gears/track bikes because it is obviously completely unstylish. I wonder if they are fun to ride?

  • http://Website OOOOOOO MAN!

    yeah he might be kinda good at the flatland

  • http://Website IMadeYourNikes

    Adam, I don’t understand why you’re hating on these. It’s just a new kind of bicycle. You can see that they’re custom frames and not gay fixed gear conversions because the seat-stay bridge is made only big enough to accept 20″ wheels. I think they’re kinda chill. And only the pink one is a fixed gear. The green one is just an over-sized BMX.

  • http://Website Aaaaarg

    BMX’s ball-danglers: ( AKA doing BMX tricks but not on a BMX)

    - Scooters in the 80s
    -mountian bikes,
    -razor scooters
    -FMX
    -urban mt bikes
    -snowmobilers
    -fixies
    -and now thiscan you feel them? Them thar posers swingin on yer balls?? BMX tricks are best on BMX bikes, everyting else is just hilariously sad

  • http://Website Harrison

    eventually these fixie guys will just have…BMX’s and there gonna be like “well shit.”
    balance will then be returned to the force and we will live happily again.
    there only a frame design away. everything else is spot on to bmx. haha

  • http://Website OOOOOOO MAN!

    The most important to thing to ask yourself when hating on this or anything is “why the fuck do I care?”

  • http://Website ChrisC

    Every one just take a second and think about this, if your hating on this because you feel that there a “ball-dangler” as Aaaaarg called them, consider this, BMX bikes were not invented for tricks, its in the word, (bicycle motocross RACING) they were made for RACING, back in the day and did any one hate on people like Bob Haro when they started using these RACING bikes for tricks. No of coarse the didnt other wise TCU most likely wouldnt exsist, so before anyone eles goes on hating just think about the fact that this bikes, fixies, mtbs and other bikes being used for tricks really arent all that differnt than the bmx bikes that we are all riding around.

  • http://Website chris

    i want one….

  • http://Website Helmut

    Soooo, its blatantly obvious to me that these are just two bmxers (S&M sign in the shop plus the myriad of bmx parts littering the walls, not to mention their steeze is so bmx its not funny) who thort itd be funny shit to build some fuckd looking 20s and do sum tricks. I guarantee if any1 could understand what theyre saying, theyd be totally having a laff and takin the piss outa that shit themselves.

  • http://Website RacistAsFuck

    y not jus ride a normal bmx bike, its not like these gooks are doing anything new… but if thats wat they want, then let those zipperheads be

    IT IS AKIRA OKAMURA, PRO FLATLANDER.

  • http://Website garyflyer

    akira okamura is one of the greatest japanese flatlanders ever. he’s just doin this cuz he can ride better than you. be educated http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8iUGWuJLi4&feature=player_embedded

  • http://Website nostradamus

    your all wrong…obviously these guys are from the future, sent back to show us all the inevitable future of what volume bikes are going to become after brian castillo decides he’s over riding two different bikes and just starts making bmx/fixed gear hybrids to suit all the tranny hipsters who think they’re doing something new.

  • http://Website nick

    i dont get why ppl talk shit on adam DONT GO ON HIS SITE THAN

  • http://www.myspace.com/106products Mark

    I think it’s pretty interesting. Why not have a good time. At least it’s not like all the trendy ass fixie shit.

    I mean, haven’t you people taken bike parts and built a crazy ass bike? If not, you’re missing out.

  • http://Website joshd

    first off…i’m not super stoked on fixie riders, but i don’t hate on them. eventually…they will realize that you can do more on a bmx that can you on a fixed gear type bike…or so i hope…

    however, saying “Japanese hipster kids”, is a pretty ignorant remark in my opinion…

    akira, besides being a super rad flatland rider…is probably better at street then 90% of the people that read this site…so, the lols on you.

    jd.

    stupidest fucking thing on the planet. So all that R&D going towards making durable and light bmx frames didnt mean anything i guess because you can go out and buy a road bike frame and put 20″ wheels on it. Are these people fucking mad? Do you think making a frame that looks completely different will inspire a whole new scene of bike riders? This is the most absurd thing i have ever seen.

  • http://Website delco douchebag

    hahaha fuckin japs

  • http://Website steve

    to be fair, they can def ride, and if they make some cash from a craze of their new design, wtf not?

  • http://Website adam is gay

    adam you are soo gay for hating on something like this
    its something different and thats cool.
    what does it matter what their bikes look like?
    everyday people tell me my bike is too small or why my seat is pushed down so far. seriously get a life

  • http://Website poop

    different is always good. but when its something different thats basically reverse evolution of something that already exists then it deserves all the hate it can get. you fuckin retards. combine a fix gear frame (gay) with bmx wheels (which arent meant for frames like that) and its supposed to be something different and cool? go die. if this catches on im quitting bikes

  • http://www.youtube.com/user/shaunster2 gomez

    i agree with poop lol

  • http://Website cool

    chill, that is famous in a trend… it mini velo bicycle…. the wheel is not a bmx wheel it…. please make sure before you say FUCK…

    Alas, like so much in life, we see again people missing the point of any activity which relates to the individual who does it, enjoying it. It seems that many would prefer the world to be a collection of activities that fit neatly with their opinion of what is ‘correct’ and ‘incorrect’. Can’t we just appreciate the obvious fact that these riders are doing what they do because they enjoy it? Or perhaps many of you don’t ride bmx because you enjoy it? But rather you do it because it’s the correct way of riding? That’s a great big philosophical assumption right there. No doubt this type of judgement follows from an insecurity that decides on what bike parts they use or the way they ride their bike, regarding what others think is ‘right’. Again, missing the point completely.
