Highly entertaining c o n t e n t. Our boy Max got himself a dad cam recently so here’s the first result of that purchase. This is some high level fixie entertainment and it only makes me more excited for future dad cam videos to come. Praise fixie jesus for bringing us content not filmed on an iphone 🙏

JOHNATHAN BALL – WANING 2024
Whats up. It’s been a long time coming. I premiered a nearly finished version of this video 6 months ago at Suck My Comp 6, so I”m a bit bummed it took this long to round out.
Overall though, I’m pretty happy with how this one turned out. Web edits in FGFS are rare these days, so I’m satisfied that I’m able to keep up a roughly once a year cadence. A lot of the clips took a long time, and a lot of clips were filmed during periods where I haven’t been riding my bike as much as I would’ve liked, so there was a lot of de-rusting going on. That being said though, there’s some tricks I’m really proud of throughout this one. Even though the ending tricks were a little lighter than I’m used to for myself, injuries plagued the filming of this and I decided to cut my losses and finish it off with what I had. It’s nearly 6 minutes of footage anyways, so I can’t complain too much.
I’ve already begun filming for a new project that I can’t talk about yet. So even though this video’s theme is all about sunsetting, I’m not done just yet. Anyways, I really hope you enjoy it and leave a comment if you did. Big thanks to all my friends who held a camera for me throughout.
New Edit Premiering Friday: Johnathan Ball “Waning”
On Friday, I’m premiering my newest edit that has been in the works for about a year and a half titled “Waning“. There’s a lot to be said about the making of this one, but I’ll save those words for the real post once the video drops. For now, mark your calendars for May 10th at 9:45AM Pacific Standard Time on the SMC Youtube channel. See you there!

ACMC 2024 (Sydney) Recap
This was a super fun video to watch! Max recounted his trip with Rob to ACMC (Australian Courier and Messenger Championships) 2024 in Sydney and it looked like an absolute BLAST! Alleycats, good times, great tricks, and more. Obviously you know I love the parts where the boys got out to do some street trick riding. Some fun looking spots and great tricks to accompany. Videos like this are what reminds me why I love the Fixed Gear community.
