well all aluminium dents easy... if you do anything wrong with them..
im currently riding a pista concept no dents, the paint scratch pretty easily ( nothing to care much). i do tricks, i pop alot with it, the only thing im realy scared about and i dont trust too much is the carbon fork... -

bmw or 07 madison. my madi has taken a beating. its been dropped thousands of times, jumps, stairs everything. not even tweaked out of alignment, no dents whatsoever, and the geometry is ok. not barspin-friendly though -

shiiiitttt
i beat the shit out of my soma rush, so sturdy and stong. i am a mechanic too, so i see all kinds of messed up shit and frames but the rush nope.
i would compare the soma rush to a bareknuckle. the only reason why in my opinion bareknuckles are more expensive is the deda tubing. thats it. -

Any frame made of 4130 should be able to take a good beating.
If you have the dough to build up a BMW, get one. Otherwise any frame made of 4130 should do you well.
I personally don't like the geo/looks of the BMW's but if i was a trickster I'd get one. -

wow. I am going to go ahead and assume that was sarcasm. Aluminum forks fail just as suddenly as carbon, without the fun splinters. I am sure Bianchi wasn't thinking of wheelies and stairs when it designed is pro-semi-pro level track bike. The fork goes swimmingly on velodromes. -

FBM Sword or Brooklyn Machine Works. If you can afford custom, Broakland. Nothing else is really made for it. All the entry level track bikes are the same, the Soma and the Surly are a little better. Pakes are garbage, I know a messenger who broke one behind the bottom bracket. -

The FBM Sword. Hands down.
You want something with a super short back end also. I was riding a IRO Jamie Roy for awhile, and the rear wheel was nearly as far back in the dropouts as possible, and I still could not wheelie. I replaced it with a Pake in which the rear tire was almost touching the seatpost tube, and I could wheelie so easy I would almost fall backwards. I'm riding a Bare Knuckle now, and it's the same with with a short backend.
You also want to make sure it has a strong fork, and reinforcements around the headtube to make it abit thicker. -

pretty much any modern BMX. something with 14mm axles, and the lighter the better for tossing it around.
doing tricks on a fixed gear is like cooking with your toaster....you can do it if you really try, but the stovetop works a shitload better. -

"doing tricks on a fixed gear is like cooking with your toaster....you can do it if you really try, but the stovetop works a shitload better."
Legislator takes the cake.
I just think fixed gear tricks are very limited, compared to bmx. The Brooklyn seems to be the most popular answer because it was built for that purpose. It has a bmx fork and looks like a large bmx frame. Pair it with large tires and i'd say its the post-bmx-bmx bike. -

I was gonna come in and leave a comment about bmx bikes, but legislator beat me to it.
If you really want something big enough to sit on, I'd just make a fixed gear mountain bike, you could put skinnier slicks on it, but the frame would clearly be made for taking the abuse. Plus once the fad blows over, you could just turn it into a single speed mountain bike or commuter and go back to life as normal. Much easier than trying to figure out what you're supposed to do with a track bike that has a 650 front wheel and a 35mm stem when you're done doing tricks -

And before you start whining about how BMX has been around for longer so they've had longer to get good at tricks just remember this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bu2MrSxuPz8
One of the first videos recorded period. With the exception of kunst, fixed gear tricks haven't progressed much in 110 years, but BMX tricks have (I do want to see someone throw a front flip on their pake). If that isn't proof that a BMX bike is a better tool for doing tricks then I do not know what is. -

fbm sword is more of a coffee shop/bar hopper bike. the guys at fbm dont recommend tricking on them -

a volume cutter, or a charge plug, or the new milwaukee frameset coming out. just look at what the best of the best are riding, and you know that those frames can take a beating.
get on the tricktrack.org forums instead.
