Ruff Eurotrip Phone Gallery

Now that the PB episode of our Eurotrip is out, it’s time to start dropping some more of the pics from the trip!

In case you’re in the dark, myself, Lucas, Matt, Corey, Jackson, and Kris travelled out to the Netherlands and Germany in August to film clips and attend the Fixated Competition. It was the best time of our lives and there were so many memorable moments from the experience.

Quick recap: Corey had a broken neck and still came on the trip. Crispy came with us last minute to Germany. Krisler was in full effect. Matt was the ultimate tour guide. Pizza got clips. Hank got an SMC tattoo. We found spotmandude. Chu papi muneno. Shoutout Till. Fixated comp was fun. Over a month later and I still have injuries from the trip. Whopper Doritos are weird.

Here’s some fun BTS photos straight from my shitty phone (photos from my proper camera will be slow dripped in the coming weeks).

Ed Wonka Memorial Ride

It’s still really hard to believe. Last week was one of the toughest weeks the Fixed Gear community has had to endure. We lost a legend, an innovator, a huge personality, and a good person, Edward Wonka Laforte. Mike Schmitt is hosting a ride in his memory in Brooklyn this Saturday. If you’re in the vicinity, you should really consider going.

ED WONKA FOREVER

We’ve decided to throw the FGFS event at a humble skatepark in Anaheim called Schweitzer! The skatepark allows for creativity and has a bit of terrain for everybody. The hits aren’t super obvious which in my opinion, will make for some fun takes on the park and different looking runs from everybody. Along with all of that, there is plenty of parking, grass and shade to hang out in, and the park is always empty.

For the Trick Track event, we’ve decided to host it at a very famous ditch spot in Long Beach. The bank will allow for people to go into fakie easily, there’s tons of space to work with, it’s much easier to get to than last year’s event, and you can even jump the bank to bank if you’re feeling ballsy!

It’s also important to note that this is not a city-approved event, which always runs the risk of being shut down. If this happens, we will refund all entry fees.

If you’re competing, please pre register here. It helps us with organization! Also, you’ll be charged $10 instead of $5 if you register day of.

See you all there!!

Tadashi Nakamura – The Style Edit

New joint from 84Kick featuring a very familiar face, Tadashi! Tadashi is the man. If you keep up, you’ll know he’s been riding for a long time now and has a timeless, smooth style and spot approach. While this was only shot in a day, there’s some really nice moves in here along with a ballsy handrail at the end. Great work!
