I thought fixies could not idle, I saw a few of them rolling without pedaling. Right about the 40 second mark.

That is called skidding(skid stop), its kinda like a coaster brake, but when its fixed obviously the rear wheel is fixed in motion with the crankset, but when you lock up the rear wheel, it makes you skid like that(showing the effect of coasting, but they are actually stopping the bike or doing a trick, etc.

I know what skidding is, it just does not look like it to me.

Oh well

the stem is a odyssey elementary stem, eastern medusa chainring (but I rock a tree lite one now), and the pedals are animal plastics.
