Track Bikes

Russian Track Bike Shred

Some people are inherently gifted by the swag gods before they even touch a bike. Some people may never know how much swag they could have on a bike. Worktofuck (great name) was lucky enough to discover that he has immense amounts of swag. Absolutely dripping in it on his Fuji track bike. Ripping some park and streets in St. Petersburg.

FOAD – NOWHERE FAST, SOMEWHERE SLOW OUT NOW

After what feels like an eternity since it’s initial previewing at SMC 7, Jackson has finally finished this masterpiece that is Nowhere Fast, Somewhere Slow. I’m glad Jackson took his time with this though. It’s nearly an entirely different video from it’s initial version and I think we’ve got an instant classic on our hands.

The talent in this is really fun. We’ve got Jackson, Chase, Evan, Ramona, Macee, Parker, and other friends that we all either know and love or are learning about for the first time. We’ve got a combination of street track riding, crit racing, and insanely high level Trick Track tricks from Jackson and Chase.

All this footage is mixed and matched in such a fun way too. I think Jackson pushed some barriers in editing style and really went for something different. It’s impressive both on a creative level and a technical level and kept my eyes glued the whole time.

This will be on repeat for a while for me. Absolutely crushed it Jackson + gang!

Bike Check – Kyle Kelley’s LaMarche PMW Track Bike!

We’ve got a very special bike check on the blog today. For starters, Kyle Kelley is a legend in the Fixed Gear and cycling community. From the Trackosaurusrex blog to Golden Saddle Cyclery to the current Allez LA shop, Kyle has played such a big role in promoting and shaping cycling culture in LA and beyond. That being said, Kyle had a custom bike made by another Fixed Gear legend by the name of Tom La Marche with Lamarche Bike Co.

Kyle has lots to say about this bike, so I’ll let him take it from here. Full gallery and writeup after the jump!

Skream – The Long Way To No Where

Although I think that saying “The rider who redefines what skidding means” is an exaggeration, Kirby is definitely one of the few track riders I enjoy watching these days. He’s aggressive, fast, chooses good moments to skid, and looks good on a track bike. He’s paired up with Skream now so naturally they had to make him a cool aesthetic video of him ripping up paris.
