Relive the Suck My Comp 7 Trick Track day 2 competition in all it’s glory! On November 17th, riders got together and piled into a riverbed to do some flat ground stunts for the world to see. It was a great weekend and I’m ecstatic about the turnout and the event as a whole. If you came or if you’re watching, know I appreciate every bit of you.

Throwback: JBall 3:30 with Locked Cog

Posted up a fun 2013 throwback on the archive of myself! The 3:30 with Locked Cog series used to be one of my favorites. Pros would send in footage to Kris with LC and he’d pump out these fun minute long mini edits for the world to see. I remember being really stoked when he said he was willing to do one with me, since Locked Cog was such a big platform at the time. I’m actually still pretty proud of a lot of these clips. The ender was the first time I’d put the 180 bar to backlash into a proper clip, and I’m pretty sure it was the first that FGFS had seen at the time. Funny to think about how hard that clip felt when it’s a staple in my trick bag now. Fun times. Shoutout my boy Sam for the ender.

CREW DEFENDER 26″ NOW AVAILABLE

Insane to think that there are currently TWO complete FGFS (ish) bikes that are now available on the market! Crew just launched the successor to their wildly popular 700c Defender model, now with 26″ wheels! Deacon and I got the chance to test these. While a more in depth review is pending, what I”l say for now is this:

The bike in my opinion is a perfect stepping stone and price point ($400) for anyone who wants to get into FGFS. The geometry is a little long, but most tricks are still extremely doable on the build. The bike as is is strong enough to handle moderate abuse and with some part swaps, it can be built to last.

Here are the tech specs on the bike:

Frame:CR-MO Defender 26” Frame
Fork:CR-MO 26”, 1-1/8” Threadless

Pedals:9/16” Platform

Tires:26” x 2.5”, 30TPI
Wheelset:26” Double Wall, 32H, Sealed Bearing Hubs, CR-MO Axle
Sprocket/Freewheel:16T Freewheel, 16T Fixed Gear
Saddle:Crew Steel Railed
Seatpost:Alloy 27.2mm x 300mm

Deacon and I had a blast ripping these things around the park shooting some fun content for it. Grab the new 26″ Crew Defender from the City Grounds site here!

Max Corcoran Melbourne Day Edit

Our boy Max getting some clips in Melbourne! The footage is from the beginning of the year but it definitely fills the void we’ve been feeling with a lack of Max clips while he’s been out bike packing and exploring the world. Fun clean jibs sprinkled throughout this one with some fun B-roll. Security cam angle at 3:20 is so sick.
