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.
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.

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!
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.
For our guest today we’ve got Salt lake City and FOAD Gang’s finest, Chase Davis AKA SKRT Reynolds! We dive into his past, his bike builds, Salt Lake’s scene, sponsor drama, and more. Enjoy!
DAMN. Okay, this might actually be the longest video that’s been released in Fixed Freestyle history. My guy Satoshi legit just dropped a real movie length video. There is WAY too much to call out for this video, but I watched it front to back and there are great moments, tricks, personalities, and everything in between from start to finish. Sit down and enjoy, and thank Satoshi for bringing us so much high quality content.
Got film back from our Netherlands trip! These are only a handful of shots as the rest of them are being saved for a later project (as well as most of the real camera footage). Lifestyle shots from misc spots and some of the comp. Stay tuned for more!
With Suck My Comp 7 around the corner, it prompted me to look at the content from last year’s event and made me realize that I never posted all of these amazing group shots we got on Trick Track day! We captured everyone in attendance and also got these cool shots of everyone with their Courtteks. If anyone was waiting for these, I’m sorry it took so long.
Join us again this year for FGFS and Trick Track action at Suck My Comp 7, registration and details here!
