Look-Not to get into a pissing contest, but of course you can trackstand on a regular bike-I do it all the time, just saying its simpler on a fixed.

Same with the spin-I said it "allegedly" helps-I don't know whether it does or not, although as someone else posted, going downhill at 230rpm plus can force you to spin.

No argument from me, really, its just the silence, simplicity, greater directness etc of a fixie can be a hoot. The poseur styling messenger crap is just that, it doesn't mean that the bikes themselves are stupid or evil.
