In today’s episode I linked up in person with Zach “ZLOG” Hoffner, a very important figurehead in the early + mid Seattle Fixed Gear scene and a player in the popularization of Fixed Gear as a whole. We dig into Fast Friday, The Revival, ZLOG Blog, and much more. Thanks for coming on the show Zach!

LD Labs, but with Aerospoke
3 years ago I posted up a bike check of my lovely red LD Labs track bike. Just took some new pics of it with some minor changes including some better looking bars and an Aerospoke. Can’t tell which front wheel I like better, but the Aerospoke is certainly less stressful to ride with.
GarageBoys 6 – LDN PAR AMS BCN
Okay so Crispyn just casually dropped a whole ass movie. WOW. This video truly encapsulates everything I love about traveling and riding bikes with your friends. My mans traveled all over Europe to dial this video in and squeezed just about every star player on that side of the world into this jawn. We’ve got antics, characters, fantastic riding, unique spots and skateparks, and good filming. The entire video is dripping with personality and this is the shit I live for that pumps me up. I want to go ride my bike YESTERDAY after watching this. This isn’t a video, it’s an experience. Great fucking job lads.
Barcelona Flow – Jakub + Diego
This video made me wanna RIDE. Jakub aka Fixie Transformer aka French Fixedgear Federation aka #1 Trick Track rider in the world made his way to Barcelona to meetup with the Ephemeral Gang and the results are some A++ content. Jakub riding spots is a thing of beauty and Diego is getting really comfortable on the 26″ bike, which makes me really happy to see. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE watching him ride the Bombtrack track bike (which he does for a bit in this video), but there’s only so much you can do on flat ground. The 26″ is really elevating his riding as a whole and he’s now becoming a master of both.
Some moments that really stuck out for me were 2:58 (beautiful use of a flat rail), 4:25 (great spot usage and display of bike control), and 4:44 (incredible spot usage and creativity). I can’t wait to go on a trip and ride with my friends soon, this video makes me wanna go NOW.
Rob Cairns – JUST ONE OF THOSE DAYS
Really captivating short piece for Skream from friend of the blog Rob Cairns!
Throwback – FIXION Full DVD
This is a rare one. For today’s Fixed Gear Archive upload I upped the Fixion Osaka DVD. Never before seen by probably most modern day Fixed Gear riders. Shoutout to Burd Phillips for sending over the DVD for me to rip and upload!
ACMC 2024 (Sydney) Recap
This was a super fun video to watch! Max recounted his trip with Rob to ACMC (Australian Courier and Messenger Championships) 2024 in Sydney and it looked like an absolute BLAST! Alleycats, good times, great tricks, and more. Obviously you know I love the parts where the boys got out to do some street trick riding. Some fun looking spots and great tricks to accompany. Videos like this are what reminds me why I love the Fixed Gear community.
