Fixed gear bike tricks

Fixed gears? Single gear? Fixies? I'm so behind all these "new" trends :)
Seems it's hot new trend in biking, to convert standard multi-speed bikes into a single or fixed gear bikes. I won't get into too much details, except that two are not the same. In fixed gear, your pedals always spinning with the wheel (kind of like on little kid's bikes). What I didn't know is that you can do some pretty cool tricks on a fixed gear bikes (fixies). You can bounce, stay in one spot or ride backwards. Check out this video I found on bikeblog...
