Lucas got his hands on a Fixated Vigorous earlier this year and built it up real proper. Pizza said this bike has helped him learn a lot and feels snappy, lightweight, and comfortable. Usually people never say this, but I think the pictures actually do the sparkles justice!
We went out to Pedro last January and shot these pics, and honestly just kind of forgot to post them cause we’ve had so much going on. Full rundown after the jump!
Early May, We went out for a night shoot with Koichi Higo aka FORKONE again. He comes from a flatland BMX background, but he’s incorporated movements unique to fixed gear riding. One of them is the SKID 180.
What’s crazy is that he even does SKID 180s while riding backwards — absolutely mind-blowing. I shot way more, but I’ll just share a few for now.
Rider: Koichi Higo
Camera: Satoshi Hashimoto
Location: Wangan Tokyo Japan

Some randoms from the last yearish or so. Texas, SMC 8 , and some non bike parts of life in the mix.

While Bombay was filming for his recent Master edit, he was also having photos shot at most of the spots he was doing tricks at. I love a photo gallery and am stoked on how clean these pictures turned out. Full gallery after the jump and don’t forget to follow Bombay on IG!
I never would have thought I’d be saying the words “Sadio” and “2026” in the same sentence. Today on Facebook Sadio just announced that they’ll be hitting the market with some new parts for 2026 (It’s from the official Sadio Facebook that hasn’t posted since 2012, so you know it’s legit). They’re bringing to the table a revamp of the classic Sadio 420 bars called the Sadio Reborn 420 bars, and a revamp of their classic Viper rims now called the Vamper rims.
The new bars are coming in at a shockingly low rise for 2026 at just 4.8″ with a Brokeboyz style 4 piece bar setup. Even though the standard these days is 6″ and up, I don’t think this is actually a bad thing. With the rise of Trick Track and 700c FGFS bikes, there’s a need for more low bar options IMO. Tall bars make bigger bikes feel kind of weird so this might end up being a good option for you 700c / Trick Track lot.
The new rims are a different style from their predecessor coming in with an MTX deep v rim style rather than their original boxy design. They’re going to only be available in 26″ and come in at a weight of 690g, making it a lightweight option compared to some others on the market.
Sadio built a huge legacy during the time they were active from 2010 – 2014, so I have faith that these will be quality parts. I hear they’re even looking to sponsor some riders, so that’s also a good sign that they’re here to support things rather than just take from the scene. Sadio’s branding has always been my favorite part about the company and I think the layouts of these promos alone make me wanna get their stuff in hand.
I haven’t seen any info on when and where these will be available for purchase. They don’t even have an instagram page, so I’ll be keeping an eye on their Facebook for updates and posting it here.
I’m sending some photos from a street session. After the Samurai Trick Comp, we went for a little street ride. Even after the competition, many riders kept riding a lot. I took some photos of them. Recently, photo sessions have been even more fun for me than filming. Thank you guys for coming and a having good sesh. (Full gallery after the jump)
The final addition of the SMCGR 2026 rankings are officially in with the men’s FGFS division! Thanks to all our participants and everyone who put in the work last year. Full rider cards in post!
