Long ago (2016) there was a jam in Arizona called the Prickly Pear Jam hosted by Mike Schmitt / Turf. At the time, the FGFS community was nearing extinction. Since events at the time were rare (still are), the whole community made it a point to get out there and join. After the event, Turf released this edit called Chain Gang. This was all of the street riding that went down during that weekend. The video was deleted a while ago but recently recovered, so here it is for your viewing pleasure once again, featuring a lot of familiar faces including Mike Schmitt, Jackson Bradshaw, Jimmy Watcha, Congo, Matt Reyes, Matt Spencer, Miguel Zendejas, Elliott Milner, Gus Molina, myself, and many more.
Throwback
Tyler Johnson OFF TRACK Episode
On the topic of Tyler Johnson, we just had the legend himself on our podcast! A lot of effort went into the edit on this one so I’d recommend watching this one. If not though, audio versions will be available everywhere shortly. Enjoy our conversation!
The SKYLMT Years – Tyler Johnson SKYLMT REMIX
The legend himself Tyler Johnson has been back on a bike lately and more motivated than ever to dive back into the FGFS scene. With this newfound inspiration, he decided to sort through all the old footage of him on his old SKYLMT build and make whats essentially a super edit, reusing the same song from his legendary SKYLMT edit but adding more footage and re-editing everything. This is a great reminder of the type of mind blowing riding Tyler used to do and is likely still capable of doing. If you’ve never seen this footage, get ready for some absolute HEATERS.
Bootleg Sessions DVD’s Now Online
That’s right, ALL 4 of the legendary Bootleg Sessions DVDs are now online for your viewing pleasure. Take a step back in fixie history and watch some of the best riders of the era push the sport from 2007 to 2010.
I’m excited to keep uploading fixed gear history to the archive channel, but all I ask for in return is that you subscribe to the channel! If we hit over 1k subscribers, then chapters will be allowed onto the video which will make watching a lot better. Anyways, enjoy:
Also Burd, please don’t sue me for putting these online. Lol
Archive Gold
We all know the cycling powerhouse that is The Radavist. For newer heads, did you know that John used to go by Prolly is not Probably and used to mainly cover track bikes? Either way, I found his old website and found some gold that’s pretty funny in hindsight with what we know now. All from 2007-2008!










Valentin Racho | Welcome To The Team Re-Upload
Just re-uploaded the legendary Valentin Racho edit to the Archive channel. If you don’t know, Valentin bursted onto the scene in 2012 and gained instant exposure for his insanely consistent barspin variations and most of all, his legit flat truckdrivers. This edit dropped in 2013 and the scene went NUTS over it. IT was previously deleted from Vimeo so here it is for you to enjoy again!
Matt Reyes + Specialized 2012
Just uploaded a previously deleted Slum edit (fuck Vimeo) from 2012 onto the Archive. Enjoy!
CAN’T FOOL THE YOUTH 2 NOW ONLINE
Can’t Fool The Youth 2 just got uploaded to the Fixed Gear Archive, highly recommended you check it out if you haven’t watched it! The Grime in Seattle section is my personal favorite. So many legends in one place.
Council of Doom Full Length
I just threw up one of my favorite fixed gear DVDs of all time, Council of Doom, onto the Archive Channel. Enjoy!
KRILLZWELL
Yesterday I was digging through a hard drive and came across a very special video that I didn’t realize was never released to the public. Krillzwell was a behind the scenes video that came with a purchase of The Grime’s Shredwell 2 video and now it’s available for everyone to watch. Enjoy!
