ANOTHER ONE. Slum has been on fire with the new videos this year. We’ve got a lot of new goodness going on here. Some callouts: that intro title sequence is crispy, Slum is on a BMX stem (Not just any BMX stem, but the Sadio MTS Rocky stem. Huge fan of that), the FBZ are reunited, Snow put his pegs back on, and we’re seeing some new spots being ridden. Wheel Talk content never disappoints!

While Satoshi was in town for SMC 6 I pulled him aside to snag some photos of him and his Courttek. Although the setup may be a bit dated for some, it was an honor to meet him him and ride his bike. It’s set up almost exactly the way I prefer my Trick Track bikes. I have a bunch of other people’s bikes to post up from this same setup, so lookout for some more bike checks. For now, check out Satoshi’s full setup and rundown after the jump!

Fixated just announced their Fixated FGFS Comp 2! Last year’s comp looked like a super good turnout and high caliber of riding. I’m really excited to see how things shake up this year. Maybe I’ll even see it in person?
As I mentioned when I posted up my Resist announcement last week, here’s a photo bike check and breakdown of the current Ruff whip I’m rolling on. This is genuinely my favorite iteration of all my 26″ builds so far both looks wise and feel wise. It gets me stoked to ride whenever I just take a look at my bike. Breakdown and full gallery after the jump:
Starting off the new year with some big news, I am officially part of the Resist Bikes 2024 team! We have some exciting things in the pipeline, but for now just check out my welcome interview with them here. Big thanks to Resist for the support, I’m honored to be the first on the team!
Look out this week for a full bike check of my current Ruff build on here.
Massive roof drop ender still of Corey from his latest edit. Absolutely insane way to end a beautiful video. Shot by the amazing Trace Taylor!

Although that FOAD already posted a video bike check of Max’s Courttek, I thought I’d still share a photo breakdown of his extremely dialed Master Courttek build. A perfect mix of commuter and trickster. Full breakdown and gallery in the post!
Also reminder to watch his LA trip edit HERE
