Introducing – MOSHER ORIGINALS STRAPS

Tom mosher has come out of strap retirement and has released a brand new strap design, something he hasn’t done since his early days at YNOT! That’s over 15 years of trusted design experience plus its all handmade in Canada, so you know these things are legit. Check out all the color and material options he has available on his brand new website here!

Here’s what Tom has to say about the new endeavor:

“Hey, look at that, new pedal straps! For a long time I have felt I have more to contribute to the pedal strap design game. I set out to make a robust, foot shaped, timeless strap that did not have any metal hardware and could withstand the abuse of FGFS. A strap that could handle that could also be an excellent strap for a general rider but as a Trick Track rider I wanted a strap that could handle the riding and crashing we do.

All the edges are bound in heavy duty nylon rather than standard gros-grain, the bottom straps that go through the pedal have 4-ply of the same heavy duty nylon to prevent the straps from being floppy.

These are hand crafted in Canada with over 18 years of pedal strap design knowledge informing every stitch! 🇨🇦”

Features:

  • Tough Cordura top straps
  • Robust 4-ply lower straps
  • Heavy-duty nylon webbing reinforcement
  • Secure hook and loop closure
  • Ergonomic form factor matches foot shape 
  • Overbuilt with extra reinforcement stitching 
  • Variety of outer colours and materials available 
  • Free sticker with every order!
  • Hand crafted in Canada! 🇨🇦

Euro Scene Check In – GO OUTSIDE

Euro scene with a STRONG showing in this! All the major players present along with some lesser known riders in the mix. Marc had a vision for this video and I’m loving the execution. Really captured the vibes, the good riding, and I’m really loving the excerpts from Crispy and Bean that were mixed in. Makes me wanna head back out that way ASAP to partake!!

Bigfoot Waterfront Stunt Jam Writeup

Today we’ve got a write up with some guest bloggers covering the recent Bigfoot Waterfront Stunt Jam that went down in the bay area two Saturdays ago! Words by Adam Wells and photos by Antonio Wothe. Full article after the jump, enjoy the read:

I am always honored to throw these jam/comp with my brother and legendary rider Andy Sparks and am also grateful to the industry as a whole that so many people show up to throw down. This fourth installment (Concord, Santa Cruz, Oakland) of the BIGFOOTFIXED COMP was unique in the fact that Track or Die NYC was hosting a few races throughout the city and I couldn’t pass up having FGFS be apart of it.

Checking in with Tom Mosher

When I was in Canada a few months ago, I got the pleasure to properly meet and hang out with one of my best buddies and fixed gear royalty Tom Mosher. My buddy Adahir and I traveled from Montreal to Kingston where we were greeted by Tom and his truck, then taken away to his little slice of heaven in Odessa where we were greeted by his family, gifts, a lovely meal, and a tour of Tom’s world.

Tom brought out his over 17 year old Volume Cutter for me to see and let me take some photos it. Awesome to see the bike in person after seeing it in so much media during my formative fixed gear years.

Also as a huge cherry on top, Tom gifted me with a handmade pair of pedal straps!! A brand new Mosher Originals design with custom fabric for me. This is the first time Tom has revisited a strap design since his days at YNOT (yes those are his design still to this day) and in my opinion, these are absolutely killer. I’ve heard whispers of him bringing this design to life in the form of production… stay tuned.

That night, Tom was incredibly generous and drove us to Toronto, then met up with us the next day to show us around. Thank you Tom for the incredible hospitality and kindness, until next time dude!
