This is a rare one. For today’s Fixed Gear Archive upload I upped the Fixion Osaka DVD. Never before seen by probably more modern day Fixed Gear riders. Shoutout to Burd Phillips for sending over the DVD for me to rip and upload!

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.

Fixed Gear Archive Recents
As you may or may not know, I upload a video to the Fixed Gear Archive youtube channel nearly every day. Here’s some recent fun ones that I’ve upped on there:
Reminder that a lot of these uploads have been lost in the ether, which makes these pretty much an FGS exclusive. So SUBSCRIBE!
Off Track feat. ANTHONY COMBS!
Today we have the absolute pleasure of having San Jose’s own Anthony Combs in the Off Track studio. We talked about his riding career, dramas, beefs, inspirations, and a bunch more. Enjoy!
Touring the Master Headquarters
While in Seattle, we head over to the Master Bike Co. headquarters, aka Kareem Shehab’s crib, and he was nice enough to take us on a tour of his very impressive collection of fixed gear memorabilia he’s gathered throughout the years. Enjoy!
History Lesson – Devan Council
Time for a quick history lesson folks!
As we all know, women in the trick scene are historically few and far between. While things are looking up these days and more women seem to be doing tricks on fixed gear bikes than ever, we must pay tribute to those who paved the way!
Lately I’ve been chatting with Devan Gallagher, formerly known as Devan Council. In 2010, she was at the forefront of women in the fixed gear trick scene. She attended all the major competitions, released multiple videos, and was even invited to the prestigious Red Bull Ride + Style competition in 2011, the only women to ever be invited to the competition series.
Devan would also do her part covering and supporting other woman in the scene. In January 2011’s issue of Urban Velo, Devan had a write up interviewing several of the woman throughout the scene, possibly one of the biggest forms of exposure for women in the scene at the time.
Devan has hopped back on the bike recently and is in full shredding form, which is so cool to see. We just uploaded one of her old unreleased edits from 2011 onto the archive. Check out Devan’s old edit below and peep some of her new shred here!
WHO IS MIKE SCHMITT – BACK ONLINE
Thanks to the hard working guys over at Fixed Gear Archive (must be some really cool guy running that), the legendary Who Is Mike Schmitt edit that was wiped away from Vimeo is now back online. Enjoy, especially if you’ve never watched it!
