Kai aka FIXIKA is truly a pioneer of fixed gear tricks in the Japanese scene. I remember that he organized a weblog back around 2007–2009, where he wrote about how to do fixed gear tricks. When I was around 24 or 25, I read and read and read his blog almost every day to learn trick tips. I’m really glad he’s still here and still riding like this. We still shoot together a few times a year.

Josh already prepping for SMC 9! Loving the street selection in this and looking real comfortable on his SMC 8 prize of the Marco Hightek. Also love the rail line at 2:40, awesome to see him expanding his bag of tricks.
After SMC 8 the Euro boys (Crispy, Bean, Marc, Max, and Youri) made their way to SF and met up with the Mayor himself Matt Reyes. They went on a night excursion around town and shot some really cool pics with the gang. Check out the full writeup and photoset on Wheel Talk!
Marcus builds a very cursed bike and tries to ride it. He doesn’t ride it much in this video but it seems like he figured it out better in this IG video!
Recently I built up a fresh Ruff Glimmer frame in a rare color choice for me… black! Although the only reason I did this was because they were sold out of raw at the time, I ended up being really happy with how the build turned out. I’ve had a black Ruff before but wasn’t in love with how that bike looked. Why do I like my black build now though?
I think the black fork, proto bars, and chrome details are really helping me love my current bike. Full rundown after the jump!
Yes!!! Oscar the Grouch and the LA homies are hosting a street jam on March 14th starting at Hollenbeck Skatepark and then riding out from there. I already know this is gonna be a good time and I’m even more hyped that Oscar is putting in the effort to do something for the community! We need more excuses to get together so this is perfect. We’re not on this version of the flyer but SMC will be sponsoring the event with cash prizes for tricks that go down.
You know I’ll be there riding, hanging, and documenting. See you there!
Here’s what Oscar has to say about the event:
“The Fixie Foo Council has come together to present you: The 1st annual Fixie Foo Street Jam
.
We want to see all the Fixie Tricksters pop up and show out, if this flyer reaches you, this is your invite.
.
Don’t have a fixie? DONT WORRY!!
Pull up with the Bici, that good musika and good vibes!!
.
3/14/26, Meeting @Hollenbeck Skate Park. Bring tubes and tools. Be ready to bike it to a couple spots. We’ll be doing some mini games, so be ready to win something or watch some Sick Ass Foos get down on Fixed Gear.”
MUSSIKKAAA
Josh putting his pegs to use on his 27.5″ Master build! Those tooth picks are scaaary.
No riding pics here, but I wanted to capture who was at one of our massive sessions during SMC 8 week. So many folk in one place! Meant to use the last pic as promo but was too occupied with organizing… maybe for this year.
Them boys outdid themselves with this one! Absolute heat coming from the FBZ in norcal featuring so many names (Antonio, Boothby, MTS, and more). The main stars of this though are the 3 core dudes: PVN, Kam, and Watcha. PVN comes through with really solid tricks and has those feeble 3’s absolutely dialed. I feel like he could take his bag of tricks and apply them to any obstacle no matter how scary. Kam always keeps me guessing with the tricks he’s gonna do and he’s just so damn stylish. Then finally we got Watcha who comes through with some super high level tricks. He’s back to fighting form and I’m so glad to see it.
The question remains though, WHO IS FBZ408 ADMIN?
