There's some profoundly mythological folklore 'ish right there!
Angel Race NYC 1999
Peter Sutherland's short film about NYC's 4th Annual July 4 Bike Messenger Race.
Even if 1999 is really not all that long ago, this is like the roots, the history, the originators. Plus I'm really loving the period correct soundtrack. Now let's go and wrap plenty of inner tube around our "messenger bike" frames.
Shared by Squid on Youtube via Prolly and all that.

Teh Most Awesomest Cinelli MASH Build
Seriously though, people who post their new fixy bieks to internet galleries and forums should quit calling them "builds". Because that's just stupid, you might have attached some parts on it but you didn't really build it.
This is semantics, but still: some unknown and very likely way underpaid person at some unknown faceless factory somewhere over in Taiwan or mainland China actually built a bicycle frame with the help of robots and big scary machines. It was imported to your country. Then you bought it. Then you probably took it to your LBS where someone installed some parts on it, you paid for their services and rode it home to get photos of it to post it on teh interwebz.
Too Small Bikes 2
TOO SMALL BIKES 2 from Julius on Vimeo.
Obviously no fixed bikes here but if you even dream of doing some mad tricks on yo sweet fixie brah, you need to study this clip very very carefully.
Brand new flatland BMX movie from Finland, you can read more about the riders etc. here.
I'm happy to discover that the example our man Martti Kuoppa set and his influence on younger riders is still livin' and strong. Respect!
It should also maybe noted that at least one of the riders featured, Aapo, rides a fg bike too and he showed us some time ago how to do fifty+ backward circles in a row just like that, until no one could keep counting anymore.
