Fixed Gear Historian

Ratpack | Joe Mckeag MLK Session

Ratpack joints are always so sick. One of the best filmers involved with Fixed Gear in my opinion. He teams up with Couch in this one to bring a short + sweet little skatepark session, Joe killing it as expected. If you know that skatepark, you’ll know that the wheelie 180 ender is so sketchy cause of how slippery that park is. Check it.

Kris Fay | Get Weird

It’s been a while since we’ve seen a little something from Kris. He keeps it fun and creative with this little bit with a guest appearance from Gnarlos which is also really sick to see. The 180 tire slide thing at 0:37 is some creative gold. Dig the music choice + editing too. This was sick.

THE FG CN | Beijing Tour Ft. Wheel Talk

Wheel Talk dudes recently took a trip to China to film street and complete at the Fixed Gear Open 6. There’s some serious street clips in here coming from everybody and the comp looked like such a fun time. The FG CN did a good job at putting it together too. Looks like such a rad place to visit.

Royal HC | “Euclid” School Backpack

Royal HC has been quiet over the past few months, but that doesn’t mean they haven’t been working on new projects and designs. Here he introduces to you the brand new “Euclid” backpack. Lightweight, sturdy, and stylish, making for a perfect school bag or any other kind of bag you desire! Remember that even though the bag looks a bit bulky in the photos, the picture is taken with the bag completely filled inside.

Here’s what Royal had to say about the bags:

“Our designs have gotten better.  As I spend more time making new designs I am incorporating the little touches I find nice in a bag as well as simplicity refined.  It features full a full Nylon construction with 1000D Cordura as our fabric of choice.  Cordura is tried and true and will never let you down.  The bottom of this bag is double layered Cordura for added strength and structure.”

NORIDAÓRE TOUR 2014

This was awesome. Seitaro with Devour films along with a huge crew went on a road trip to Noridaóre and it looked like such a blast. Too many sick tricks going on in here to call out. Funny on 26’s is killer though. Stoked to see new footage of him. This one’s worth a few looks.
