Lately I've been really excited about fixed gear bicycles and I've been working on a bike of my own. There are a lot of assumptions and preconcieved notions about fixies, like hipsters being the only ones who ride them but thats far from the truth. Especially when Cards is fully backing fixies. As Most know back in 2003 Cards was In an accident that left him paralyzed from the waist down and in a wheelchair for six months. Since the accident he has recovered considerably and can walk again but unfortunately he cant skate the way we all know he can. So what does the sickest skater of all time do when he can't skate? He bikes and just slays most everything he tackles in life. Lets face it the guy is sick at anything and everything he does. Eventhough he has been out for seven years he has still managed to find other outlets for his general gnarliness,Djing,biking, shooting guns,etc. A few days ago I saw a fixie part he made for Macaframa. Now if im being honest there im not into watching fixie videos but this was sick. Eventhough its not him skating it's still tight to watch him channel his energy and talent into another hobby. He's hell on wheels and its just awesome to see him thriving even after his accident and still killing it like nothing ever happened. All Hail Cardiel.
