FOAD – NOWHERE FAST, SOMEWHERE SLOW OUT NOW

After what feels like an eternity since it’s initial previewing at SMC 7, Jackson has finally finished this masterpiece that is Nowhere Fast, Somewhere Slow. I’m glad Jackson took his time with this though. It’s nearly an entirely different video from it’s initial version and I think we’ve got an instant classic on our hands.

The talent in this is really fun. We’ve got Jackson, Chase, Evan, Ramona, Macee, Parker, and other friends that we all either know and love or are learning about for the first time. We’ve got a combination of street track riding, crit racing, and insanely high level Trick Track tricks from Jackson and Chase.

All this footage is mixed and matched in such a fun way too. I think Jackson pushed some barriers in editing style and really went for something different. It’s impressive both on a creative level and a technical level and kept my eyes glued the whole time.

This will be on repeat for a while for me. Absolutely crushed it Jackson + gang!

FIXIE FOO JAM FULL RECAP

Coverage of the FIXIE FOO JAM that went down last Saturday March 14th. Socks were high, foos were out, and tricks were going down! Shoutout to the boys Kris Sundet, Jacob Santos, Corey San Agustin, and Deacon for holding the camera all day. Another shoutout to Oscar and the homies for hosting such a fun day. Already looking forward to the next one!

Wheeltalk – Night Moves with the Euro Boys

After SMC 8 the Euro boys (Crispy, Bean, Marc, Max, and Youri) made their way to SF and met up with the Mayor himself Matt Reyes. They went on a night excursion around town and shot some really cool pics with the gang. Check out the full writeup and photoset on Wheel Talk!

Bike Check – JBall’s Black Ruff Glimmer

Recently I built up a fresh Ruff Glimmer frame in a rare color choice for me… black! Although the only reason I did this was because they were sold out of raw at the time, I ended up being really happy with how the build turned out. I’ve had a black Ruff before but wasn’t in love with how that bike looked. Why do I like my black build now though?

I think the black fork, proto bars, and chrome details are really helping me love my current bike. Full rundown after the jump!

FIXIE FOO STREET JAM

Yes!!! Oscar the Grouch and the LA homies are hosting a street jam on March 14th starting at Hollenbeck Skatepark and then riding out from there. I already know this is gonna be a good time and I’m even more hyped that Oscar is putting in the effort to do something for the community! We need more excuses to get together so this is perfect. We’re not on this version of the flyer but SMC will be sponsoring the event with cash prizes for tricks that go down.

You know I’ll be there riding, hanging, and documenting. See you there!

Here’s what Oscar has to say about the event:

“The Fixie Foo Council has come together to present you: The 1st annual Fixie Foo Street Jam
.
We want to see all the Fixie Tricksters pop up and show out, if this flyer reaches you, this is your invite.

MUST WATCH – FBZ408 – Goonz On Deck 4

Them boys outdid themselves with this one! Absolute heat coming from the FBZ in norcal featuring so many names (Antonio, Boothby, MTS, and more). The main stars of this though are the 3 core dudes: PVN, Kam, and Watcha. PVN comes through with really solid tricks and has those feeble 3’s absolutely dialed. I feel like he could take his bag of tricks and apply them to any obstacle no matter how scary. Kam always keeps me guessing with the tricks he’s gonna do and he’s just so damn stylish. Then finally we got Watcha who comes through with some super high level tricks. He’s back to fighting form and I’m so glad to see it.

The question remains though, WHO IS FBZ408 ADMIN?
