The fixed gear viking Lucas aka Poney putting in some real work!! You know I love me a proper horizontal edit. I’ve been watching Poney’s trick journey and it’s been a fun one to witness. Going from insane fish + chips combos to some proper FGFS moves isn’t always the easiest transition but Lucas is pushing through and really making some progress. You know that 180 bar ender felt good. Keep pushing it Lucas!!
Side note, he was gracious enough to donate a bunch of prizes for the recent comp through his cycling softgoods company Poney Factory. Upcycled belts, straps, and more, go check them out!
Relive the Suck My Comp 7 Trick Track day 2 competition in all it’s glory! On November 17th, riders got together and piled into a riverbed to do some flat ground stunts for the world to see. It was a great weekend and I’m ecstatic about the turnout and the event as a whole. If you came or if you’re watching, know I appreciate every bit of you.
Shoutout once again to Andy for capturing the moments!
While I’m pumping away at Suck My Comp 7 recap videos, here are some cool photos from a really nice under bridge session while we were out in Den Haag featuring Jakub, Matt, Ismael, Ritchie, and friends! Click into post for full set.
Late on this cause directly after the comps wrapped up last weekend, I went to Vegas with the Ruff crew for some filming! Anyways, here are the official results from Suck My Comp 7:
I’ll have more pictures, thoughts, and video recaps coming some time next week. Overall though, it was a really really successful event and a really good time with a bunch of people who share the same passion. It’s a tiring weekend, but always worth it. Stay tuned for more on this.
Insane to think that there are currently TWO complete FGFS (ish) bikes that are now available on the market! Crew just launched the successor to their wildly popular 700c Defender model, now with 26″ wheels! Deacon and I got the chance to test these. While a more in depth review is pending, what I”l say for now is this:
The bike in my opinion is a perfect stepping stone and price point ($400) for anyone who wants to get into FGFS. The geometry is a little long, but most tricks are still extremely doable on the build. The bike as is is strong enough to handle moderate abuse and with some part swaps, it can be built to last.
Deacon and I had a blast ripping these things around the park shooting some fun content for it. Grab the new 26″ Crew Defender from the City Grounds site here!
Our boy Max getting some clips in Melbourne! The footage is from the beginning of the year but it definitely fills the void we’ve been feeling with a lack of Max clips while he’s been out bike packing and exploring the world. Fun clean jibs sprinkled throughout this one with some fun B-roll. Security cam angle at 3:20 is so sick.
Olvotricks contest just went down in France after the Olvoween alleycat and there were some shredders throwing down! Some new names now on my radar and some familiar ones holding it down. Some highlights for me include Vitto’s fish n chip combo at 6:28, Lyonzon’s smooth style, and Mark’s aggressive consistency. I think Mark is now one of my favorite Trick Track riders, especially after meeting him and riding with him in the Netherlands. Oh and of course Jakub does his usual slaying. Fun stuff with some great energy!
For our guest today we’ve got Salt lake City and FOAD Gang’s finest, Chase Davis AKA SKRT Reynolds! We dive into his past, his bike builds, Salt Lake’s scene, sponsor drama, and more. Enjoy!
