JBall on Slow Spin Society Podcast

Late on posting this, but I was recently on the Slow Spin Society podcast where we discussed a wide variety of Fixed Gear related topics, listen here!

Gallery – Suck My Comp 5 on Film

Michael Guntetong made it out to our Suck My Comp 5 event last month and covered the event with some beautiful photos on film. Thanks dude! Also make sure to check out his VX coverage of the event here.

New Kid On The Block – Max Vargas

Fresh off a 3rd place finish in the Suck My Comp 5 Am division is one of our newest additions to the crew, young gun Max Vargas. Trick Track kid turned FGFS, he’s been on an absolute progression roll lately. Look out for more content involving him soon and take a look at his Pagan build scraped together from a lot of our extra parts. Full set and details after the jump!

Head Smash

Last Saturday me and the Dooc man went out for a casual bike ride to the beach on our Trick Track builds that ended in a pool of blood, 17 staples, and stitches. I’ll discuss this more on the upcoming Off Track episode, but long story short, I tried to grind a bench and hit my head up top (see gallery for reference). It was such a nice session too. I’m cooped up and off the bike for at minimum a few weeks. I get my staples removed in a couple days so hopefully the healing is quick.

Luckily for me, most of the damage was external and not internal. I thought I was okay until blood started pouring (literally) from my skull. Currently a little unsteady in day to day, but overall not concussed.

Moral of the story, pay attention to the height of things while riding your bike. The moral should probably be to wear a helmet… yeah, maybe lets go with that one.

The famous Fixated Stout sprocket is now available in silver! With splined options becoming more and more scarce, this is slowly becoming our scene’s go-to option. Luckily for us, it’s a great option. Cop here!

Archive Gold

We all know the cycling powerhouse that is The Radavist. For newer heads, did you know that John used to go by Prolly is not Probably and used to mainly cover track bikes? Either way, I found his old website and found some gold that’s pretty funny in hindsight with what we know now. All from 2007-2008!
