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!

FIXIE FOO JAM FULL RECAP

Coverage of the FIXIE FOO JAM that went down last Saturday March 14th. Socks were high, foos were out, and tricks were going down! Shoutout to the boys Kris Sundet, Jacob Santos, Corey San Agustin, and Deacon for holding the camera all day. Another shoutout to Oscar and the homies for hosting such a fun day. Already looking forward to the next one!

SAMURAI TRICK COMP HIGHLIGHTS

HIghlights just dropped from 84Kick of his recent Samurai Trick Comp event that went down last weekend! Lots of good things to say about this:

I really love seeing people I’ve never heard of shredding these bikes we love. There are so many new faces and names I’ve never heard of that came out the woodworks for this and killed it with some skills that certainly aren’t new. Seeing all the different kinds of bike setups is also super fun. We’ve got everything from track bikes to 26″ builds in the mix and a lot of bikes in between. Riders really going for it all throughout too, so fun to see! A few riders specifically that stood out to me:

Keisuke is officially one of my favorite 700c hybrid riders now. His drip on and off the bike is fun to watch and he has such clean tricks. He also isn’t afraid to send it, his slam in the finals looked rough. Doesn’t hurt that he rides my frame too!

Kazu looks like an OG. He’s got a classic bag of tricks and clean style that’s super fun to watch. If you told me he’s been riding since 2008 I would believe you.

Takataka’s energy is contagious. I want to meet him and just hang out with him.

Minami has a creative mind. I want to see him develop his bike control more so he can put that creativity to use. There’s lots of potential there.

Sota’s bike setup is crazy and his sends over the blocks was super respectable.

Shun is the complete package and the future. He’s got the speed, style, and tricks. He deserved the win for sure!
