Fixated Comp 2 Schedule

Fixated has released a schedule for their looming August FGFS competition that’s coming up quick. Not only will they be throwing their FGFS comp again, but there will be a Trick Track division going down too! Gearing up to be a hell of a good time with the Euro scene!

Along with the schedule, I’d like to announce that tickets for our Netherlands trip are BOOKED BABY. Not spoiling who’s going yet, but we’ve got a good crew heading out to Europe for the 2nd Fixated comp. See you there!

If you’re going and competing, make sure to register here!

Aussie Boys – Summer With A Chance Of Fixie

Highly entertaining c o n t e n t. Our boy Max got himself a dad cam recently so here’s the first result of that purchase. This is some high level fixie entertainment and it only makes me more excited for future dad cam videos to come. Praise fixie jesus for bringing us content not filmed on an iphone 🙏

JOHNATHAN BALL – WANING 2024

Whats up. It’s been a long time coming. I premiered a nearly finished version of this video 6 months ago at Suck My Comp 6, so I”m a bit bummed it took this long to round out.

Overall though, I’m pretty happy with how this one turned out. Web edits in FGFS are rare these days, so I’m satisfied that I’m able to keep up a roughly once a year cadence. A lot of the clips took a long time, and a lot of clips were filmed during periods where I haven’t been riding my bike as much as I would’ve liked, so there was a lot of de-rusting going on. That being said though, there’s some tricks I’m really proud of throughout this one. Even though the ending tricks were a little lighter than I’m used to for myself, injuries plagued the filming of this and I decided to cut my losses and finish it off with what I had. It’s nearly 6 minutes of footage anyways, so I can’t complain too much.

I’ve already begun filming for a new project that I can’t talk about yet. So even though this video’s theme is all about sunsetting, I’m not done just yet. Anyways, I really hope you enjoy it and leave a comment if you did. Big thanks to all my friends who held a camera for me throughout.

On Friday, I’m premiering my newest edit that has been in the works for about a year and a half titled “Waning“.

For now, mark your calendars for May 10th at 9:45AM Pacific Standard Time on the SMC Youtube channel. See you there!
