A few weeks ago was the first time I met LA local shredder Jonathan Thompson. Needless to say, the dude fucking kills it, and his riding never sees the light of day. We filmed a few clips that will be featured in the new Chop Em’ Down Films full length FGFS DVD coming out within the next few months. Here’s some shots of him and his Concept build. Follow him on instagram @thompson___ .
Our good friend Christian Ustarroz has been up in SF shredding with our other good friend Matt Reyes. They’ve been stacking some clips for an upcoming Wheel Talk full length video. Full photoset here!
Out filming recently we decided to shoot this sequence of Miguel Pro-5ing this long ledge. Shoutout to Miguel for being a beast.
A super limited amount of the new Ruff Bike Co. GC “Plus” Bars are available for purchase. The same GC bars you know and love with a little extra rise on them making them have 6.5 inches of rise. One Raw Glass left, Two Matte Black left. GET EM HERE BEFORE THEY’RE GONE!
Matt easily has some of the best tables in the game. Really digging this super clean shot of him clicking one in a beautiful looking AZ ditch. Check the writeup on Wolf Drawn.
Here’s a few shots of SMC fam Cole Ruffing‘s current LDG Proto build. Even though this frame never came in to production, it’s still a really clean build with good geo. Can never go wrong with a murdered out whip. Like his shirt? Grab it here. Like his beanie? Snag it here!
Here’s an impromptu sequence shot I got of Elliott for this insane handrail Ice 180 that was the ender for his recent BIG FISH edit. Elliott is such a savage.
Insane shot of Matt Spencer riding the bank shot by Phil Arellano. The photo really shows how huge this thing is. Check out the write up on Wolf Drawn.
Bay area FGFS came through deep on Super Bowl Sunday and got together, filmed, chilled, and had a ton of fun, a repeat of last year. Wheel Talk recently posted a bunch of photos from the gathering, check out the rest of the set here. Stay tuned for the edit to come of this soon!

This is huge. Matt Reyes was recently interviewed by the colossal apparel store Urban Outfitters; off chance you’ve never heard of them. In the interview Matt shined light on our niche sport and talked about his lifestyle all while being very eloquent in typical Matt Reyes fashion. Really intriguing read since Matt is such an interesting guy. Get some insight in to the mind of Slumworm himself and check it out HERE.
“Graphic designer by day, urban bicyclist by night, San Francisco creative Matt Reyes expresses himself in a variety of ways. We spent a day with Matt on the west coast to get a small glimpse of how he uses these outlets for creative expression and get the low down on the bike sport’s rapid comeback.”
