Throwback

Throwback – Tyler Johnson – The Hammer

Posted up this line from 2008 of Tyler Johnson onto the archive yesterday and wanted to boost it a little more. For Tyler to have this kind of bike control on a full blown track bike 17 years ago is just other worldly. Tyler may be somewhat distanced from Fixed Gear these days, but don’t ever forget what an enigma and prodigy this guy was / is on a bike!

Off Track Ep. 33 – MATT SPENCER

Probably our most requested guest, we’ve finally got the legend Matt Spencer on the podcast! We discuss his biking roots, rise to fame, sponsor and trip stories, beefs, filming, and everything in between.

Beautiful Bicycle – Andy’s Durcus One Stylin’

Andy is someone’s name you may have seen floating around our sphere. He joins our sessions often, mostly rides BMX, films a lot of stuff, and is a closeted Fixed Gear OG. He was hanging around Joe Mckeag during his come up and even filmed some videos back in the FGFS golden days. That being said, Andy recently built himself up this absolutely beautiful 2010 Durcus One Stylin’. Specs and gallery after the jump!

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.

Off Track Ep. 27 – TOM MOSHER

In today’s episode we got the honor to speak with one of the founding fathers of our sport, Tom Mosher! I was watching Tom’s bike checks, edits, and tutorials while I was just a wee fixie lad in high school 12+ years ago, so it was an absolute pleasure to have him in our virtual studio. We had so much to talk about and seemed to hardly scratch the surface, so I’d encourage you to check out the Patreon bonus episode to check out the extended discussion. Enjoy!

OFF TRACK – DEVAN GALLAGHER

Today we have the pleasure to release our newest episode with the #2 ranked Woman FGFS rider in the world and the first woman to join our show, Devan Gallagher! With a deep history in the sport and huge determination to progress, Devan is truly an inspiration on the bike with great stories and memories to share. Enjoy!

OFF TRACK Ep. 24 – MIKE SCHMITT

We are extremely honored to present to you a podcast episode with this legend. The creator of the 26″ Fixed movement, the man behind The Grime and Turf, peg mastermind, pioneer of the sport we all love, entertainer at heart, and much much more, we present to you the Mike Schmitt episode!

Mini Documentary – THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER RIDER LIKE TOM LA MARCHE

Today we introduce the “There Will Never Be Another” mini documentary series! We kick off the series with one of the most deserving riders in Fixed Gear history to look back on, Tom La Marche. A name that still resonates throughout the scene, Tom’s history and accomplishments on a Fixed Gear bike are nothing short of monumental. Hope you enjoy and let me know which rider I should cover next.
