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.
HISLOW and His Master Hightek
During the Suck My Comp 6 weekend I had the pleasure of finally meeting one of the only FGFS riders in Taiwan, Hislow. I pulled him aside during a session and asked to shoot some pics of him and his Jimmy Watcha Master build, and he didn’t disappoint. Absolute star. Full photoset after the jump.
FORKONE Departure Edit 2024
WOW. Satoshi has been pumping the content out lately. Forkone aka Koichi Higo is truly a one of a kind rider. There is NOBODY doing it like him on a Fixed Gear bike. Trick at 2:52 really had my jaw dropped.
Alongside this amazing riding, Satoshi has really been stepping up his production game and really came through hard in this edit. Thoughtful filming and attention to detail all throughout this, I was really impressed. Worth multiple watches!

Marc Murré – Welcome to AfterSpin
A new challenger appears! Although this is my first time hearing about Marc, he is clearly not new to the scene. AfterSpin is Paris’ latest fixed gear collective and crew ran by El Fakijoe. Already, their style is being clearly established and characterized by high quality, clean production. I’m really into it.
Marc’s riding is similar to Elfakie’s, which we all know and love. It’s clean, simple, and incredibly stylish. Sometimes, you don’t need the fanciest tricks in the world to make impact. AfterSpin describes him as a rising star though, which in my opinion means he’s still learning and likely has much more skill he can develop, which is very exciting. Look our for Marc in the future and I look forward to seeing what AfterSpin keeps pushing. Great job all around.

Ed Wonka 2016 Interview by Tom Mosher
What a gem and perfect timing with our recent Mike Schmitt Off Track episode. Tom Mosher, founding father of our sport, recently hit me up telling me he had an unreleased Ed Wonka interview he conducted from 2016. He dropped it on his Youtube channel and although the audio isn’t the greatest, you really get some insightful looks into Ed’s personality, thought process, and history. Tom is a great interviewer and I wish he went through with what he called “Trick Track Radio” cause Tom is a perfect person to talk to about Fixed Gear history. Maybe we’ll get him on the pod soon?
