Throwback

Lookback: Johnathan Ball in LA.

Figured this video would be appropriate on a throwback thursday. Can’t believe this is almost a year and a half old. Funny story about that last clip actually, the 360 was during the day, and the 180 bar was at night. At that time, that was the biggest 180 bar I’ve ever done, but I had to do it twice. I landed the 180 bar during the day, then reviewing the footage later that day, I deleted the clip on accident. Then the whole crew mobbed to the spot to get it again. After 180ing the stairs twice without throwing the bars, security came and kicked us out, and on that third try as we were getting kicked out, I threw the bars and landed it. Talk about luck.

A Step Back: Ben Beck.

Ben Beck is one of sMc’s founders. He got caught up with sports and school and doesn’t have the time to ride anymore. But in the dog days of the school year, he’s been getting back on his bike, and still being able to bust out some old school tricks. A follow up video coming soon! Here’s a quick rundown of his old school whip.

Throwback: sMc Photos.

So I was going through old photos and I came by a lot of cool old photos of myself and the sMc crew that nobody really saw. Crazy to see how much things have changed in over a year. Riders here include Alec Aranowitz, Myself, Christian Meldrum, Gunnar Johnson, Chris Ruelas, Anthony Sanchez, Ryan Schuk, and Junho Park.

Throwback: FGG: Westjam.

Not sure if this is actually old enough to be considered “throwback” yet, but I always get hyped off this edit. This is how the energy and vibe should be in all comp edits along with the actual comps themselves in my opinion. FixedGearGeneva did a great job at portraying it. Just makes you wanna go out and ride! We need to bring this vibe back!
