Although Fixed Freestyle is a newer sport, so much has happened within 7 years (7 years already??) that a novel could be written on an in depth history. I’ve become aware that many newer people in the scene haven’t quite been caught up on how we got to where we are today, and there isn’t exactly any place you can just simply research the history of FGFS. So, without further ado, I present a brief history of the scene/sport, or basically, the most historical edits and DVDs. WRAHW Inspired.
It’s been forever since we’ve seen anything from Forest, but every time he drops something, it’s pure fire. Hell, even his two year old scraps are killer! He’s easily one of the most stylish dudes on and off a bike. So fluent, so snappy, so much bike control. Worth the watch for sure. I really hope he has something in the works though, it’s been too long since we’ve seen a stacked Forest edit.
EDIT: Just realized I said a lot of the same stuff Jmik over at BHSK said. Check out his blog for tons of original content and more than just FGFS stuff.
My rider page on the Bombtrack website is now officially out. Check it out, welcome edit coming late spring. Very stoked to be on board!
After a year of filming, parts for sMc’s FGFS video, “Young Guns”, are finally starting to wrap up. Other parts not pictured will include Grant Higgins, Calvin Gunt, Samuel Rodriguez, and potentially more. Stay tuned.
Stumbled upon this little interview with Boothby about the collegiate tour he went on with Red Bull not too long ago. Check it out.
Ratpack Lucas came down a while back and got some filming done with his new HD camera. He always knows how to cut together and film an edit properly. This features some sick shredding from Cole Ruffing, and a rare appearance by Phil Arellano. Phil has been spending most of his time behind the lens lately, and you can catch all his photos that go up on Locked Cog. Cole’s riding is steezy to say the least and it’s great to see some newer riding from Phil.
Wheel Talk just dropped these sweet embroidered logo patches. Pick them up here for 5 bucks!
This edit was one of the sickest edits of 2012. Fast paced, creative, filmed and edited properly by DealwithitSF. I’m curious as to if Snow still rides. I heard a 26′ edit was supposed to come out a while ago, but not sure where it went. Anyways, this edit is definitely worth another look or two.
Shot this flick of Miguel yesterday while filming him and Samuel Rodriquez for Young Guns yesterday. Clicked.
