YOURI SLIKKER FOR MASTER BIKE CO

Master just picked up the legendary Youri Slikker from Netherlands for the FGFS team! If there was anyone next in line to get a sponsorship, it was definitely Youri. With a recent fire web edit, impressive performance at Fixated Comp 2, and general overall shredding, this is incredibly deserved. Stay on the lookout for a bike check we filmed with him on the new bike dropping extremely soon!

Here’s what Master had to say about the pickup:

“Happy to announce the newest addition to the Master bike team Youri Slikker.
It has been fun watching Youri’s riding progress over the years with his creative style and innovative tricks—all strapless by the way. Riding FGFS is already a complicated task with pedal timing and to do it strapless with finesse is next level. After watching him compete at the Fixated comp earlier this year I could tell that he had something special. Glad to have Youri representing for us in Europe and excited to see more from him in the future!”

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

ISMAEL LEBRECH FOR RUFF BIKE CO

Late to posting this update cause I’ve had bad internet for the last two weeks, but Ruff Bike Co. has officially introduced its first international rider, Ismael Lebrech! I’ve known that Ismael is a great rider for a while now, but after getting the pleasure to see him ride in person, I can say that his dedication, passion, and intricate mind that he applies to our sport is nothing short of inspiring. I can’t imagine someone more deserving of support than this guy. Welcome to the team Ismael!
