SUCK MY COMP 5 UPDATED FLYER

Some sponsors added to our previous lineup + Ruff Bike Co was kind enough to throw up $100 for the best trick portion of the day! Get the full details to the event HERE

Once again, huge thank you to our sponsors for helping make this happen. Please consider supporting these brands the next time you make a bike related purchase, it helps out the community as a whole!

NYC Saturday Sesh July Coverage

The July edition of NYC’s Saturday monthly session (hosted by brokeshutter) seemed to be a massive success! Our LA city boyz Oscar and Marco sweeped the event with Marco taking the long jump contest and Oscar taking the best trick contest. Love seeing the NY scene picking up after a long hiatus. I’m excited to make it out to one of these. Next event is August 27th, stay tuned for updates!

OFF TRACK EPISODE 1

Welcome to the first episode of OFF TRACK, our new talk show where we talk about all things fixed gear. A little scuffed for our first one be it’ll only get better from here. In this episode we cover riding shoes, post riding meals, and our favorite retired riders. Leave questions in the comments for the next episode and let us know how you like this format!

CHASE HENLEY RUFF RAWS

Chase Henley (Yung Prodigy) put in some serious work for his recent welcome to Ruff Bike Co web edit. Word on the street is that he has a new edit in the works (not produced by us), so that’s definitely something to look forward to at the end of summer. For now, enjoy him falling a lot.

ANNOUNCEMENT: SUCK MY COMP RETURNS THIS NOVEMBER!

You read that right, Suck My Comp is officially BACK ON! After a 2 year hiatus thanks to covid, Suck My Comp 5 is taking place this November 19th in good ol’ Long Beach at Mcbride skatepark. FGFS events are few and far between, so I highly suggest you make it out.

If you’re competing, pre-register HERE!

More details:

If you have an FGFS frame sponsor, you will automatically be placed into the “PRO” division.

“PRO” winners will take home cash while “AM” winners will take home prizes.

All entry fees go directly into the pot for the pro division winners to take home.

We will also be contributing extra $$$ from our pockets as a pot bonus.

There will be multiple sub events that are free to enter to get everyone involved!

Time: 10AM Pacific time

Date: November 19th, 2022

Location: Mcbride Skatepark, 1550 Martin Luther King Jr Ave, Long Beach, CA 90813

If you plan on competing, I would highly recommend pre-registering here. It helps us organize better plus it’s cheaper for you. If that isn’t an option for you though, you can register day-of for $10.

Would recommend bringing a chair if you’re just spectating.

Please be on time. We will have a 30 minute grace period to allow you to show up, but we will start without you if you aren’t present.

Social media algorithms are pretty messed up these days, so please please please help spread the word and lets make this weekend a good old fashioned fixie freestyle palooza! See you in November!

Also big thanks to our sponsors Ruff, FOAD, Destroy, Master, Fixated, Broke Boyz, CSK, Hook Straps, Gus Molina, THEORY, Throne, and Merritt for helping make this happen.

Johnathan Ball // Still Here 2022

Will I ever stop filming edits? Some day sure, but luckily that day isn’t here yet. Here’s my 2022 web edit for Ruff Bike Co. Although life continues to constrict free time, I think it’s important to make time to do things you enjoy. For me, that’s riding bikes and making edits. Filmed in Atlanta and all over SoCal. Big thank you to everyone who held a camera for this thing. Also huge thanks to Ruff Bike Co as always for all the support. Enjoy!
