FIXED GEAR HOLIDAY PRESENT GUIDE

Do you have a loved one who rides a fixed gear bike? Are you not sure what to buy for them this holiday? Or are you a fixed gear rider and people keep asking you what you want for the holidays and you just keep shrugging your shoulders saying “I dunno”? Well if you fall into either of these camps, you’ve come to the right place. If you’re a fixed gear rider, just send this article to the next person who asks.

Here I’ll be listing a grip of small fixed gear parts and accessories brands that you can support this holiday to get some stuff that your fixed gear loved one will ACTUALLY be stoked about, rather than that shirt you get them from Tilly’s every year that they pretend to be excited about.

INTRODUCING | SLOWWHEELZ

SLOWWHEELZ is a new fixed gear freestyle based apparel brand started by young tarck extraordinaire Guillermo Galindo and friends. I love seeing rider owned brands start within our community, especially when it’s done right like this. Memo made sure to represent minorities and compiled the team entirely of people of color too, you love to see it. They just dropped their first line of shirts and stickers and they’re almost already sold out, so hop on it while you can and be on the lookout for more stuff from them soon. SHOP HERE

Why is Trick Riding the Best | FOAD Gang

This made me shed an internal tear. Jackson put together this beautiful little short film about the mindset of trick riding. He put my (and probably many of our) thoughts into words and paired it with some really great looking footage. Definitely give this one a watch if you get a chance.

JBALL FGFS PHONE CLIPS 2020

Okay I know, 17 minutes is a long time. But some of these clips have been in the vault since 2018 so can you really blame me? Also yes I know there’s a whole lot of skatepark clips in here, but that doesn’t mean we still aren’t out in these skreets; it just means all the street clips we get have been on normal cameras for our super secret full length video we’ve been working on for a while. Anyways, enjoy these clips, b roll, falls, and goofs from my phone from the last 2ish years.
