Marco Marquez – Welcome Home

As some of you may know, Marco Marquez was part of SMC in 2012-2013, then went into a bit of a hiatus. Fast forward to now, and he’s reemerged back onto an FGFS bike. He must have been training in the hyperbolic time chamber, because he somehow is 10x better than ever. We were extremely happy to hear about Marco returning to the scene and welcomed him back with open arms. I think it’s safe to say he’s one of the most fluid people I’ve ever seen touch an FGFS bike, and this may be some of the best riding these bikes have ever seen. Welcome back Marco, we missed you!

Side note, this is the location of the SUCKMYCOMP 4 going down next week, see you there!

Jaoa Danaikrit | Portland’s Weird

If I had to describe this video in one word, it would be mesmerizing. Slum has done it again with his newest creation, this time actually involving FGFS! These are starting to feel more like art works than edits. The b roll, the tricks, and the music all work together so well to create a piece of content you can’t look away from. The riding is obviously great too, just had to get that out of the way first. Jaoa has been in the game for a long time so it’s awesome to see him still shredding hard. Slum and Combs even joined in on the fun too. Don’t miss this one!

Johnathan Ball “Second Nature” Tarck Edit

Me and Slumworm linked up in LA not too long ago to film this beauty of an edit. I think it’s safe to say this is easily the coolest anybody has ever been able to make me look in a video, lol. I always love meeting up with Slum. It’s always a hell of a good time catching up, pushing each other to try new tricks, and having a good laugh. BAY AREAAA. Anyways, I love the way this came out, big thanks to Matt for this one. Check it out!

AM/PM Kubo Bruch

Kubo Bruch (AKA Fixie Bikepacker) sent over this masterpiece of an edit. It’s a little long, but almost necessary to show off the wide range of skill this dude has on a fixed gear (track bike specifically). He’s got the dirt skills, the trackstand skills, and the FGFS skills all in one package. Video picks up around 1:30, definitely give this one a watch!
