Although that FOAD already posted a video bike check of Max’s Courttek, I thought I’d still share a photo breakdown of his extremely dialed Master Courttek build. A perfect mix of commuter and trickster. Full breakdown and gallery in the post!
Also reminder to watch his LA trip edit HERE
As we all know, the new Master 2023 frames dropped and are some of the most interesting colorways fixie has seen to date. Oscar Lopez sent over this gallery that gives us a closer look at all the details on Marco’s “GHVST RIDER” colorway plus a look at his current whip. Click into the post for the full gallery and snag a frame here!
Traveling 18 hours from Melbourne, Max Corcoran made his way up above to California to ride some bikes with friends. Park, street, and everything in between, Max is a rising star that can do just about everything on his pegless 700c FGFS bike. Showcased in this here video is only a fraction of his talents and I can’t wait to see where he goes from here. It was a pleasure having him around and a pleasure to point a camera at him.
GO GO GO. The brand new 2023 Master line of frames and components are officially up for purchase! Ranging from $559 – $669, Master is now offering each frame as a set for the first time ever. Headset included too!
5 frames, 5 incredible paint jobs. In the mix we’ve got Watcha Grimey Gold, Dizon Cerebral Lavender, Molina Faded Freight, Zendejas Clearest Blue, and Marquez Ghvst Rider. Here’s what Kareem had to say about the frames:
“This frame is made from 4130 heat treated chromoly and features an integrated headtube drilled for gyro tabs, gusseted top tube and down tube, Mid BB shell, butted seattube, removable U-brake mounts, and yoke style bb cluster for maximum chainring and tire clearance. The Master Hightek frame has the shortest FGFS wheelbase with full barspin clearance.”
If these framesets weren’t enough for you, Master is also offering more neutral colored 26″ freestyle Chopstick forks! Chrome is now sold out but black is still available at the time of writing this. Specs on this fork:
408 A-C
20mm Offset
165mm length threaded Steerer
Designed for 26″ wheels
Additionally to the frames and forks, Master has released a pair of 6.66″ 2-piece bars titled the Three-6 bars! Sporting nearly half an inch higher than all of their previous offerings. Specs on the new bars:
“Our new multi butted handlebars are back! Strong, light with perfectly styled bends.”
RISE 6.66″
WIDTH 29″
UPSWEEP 2.5°
BACK SWEEP 10°
MATERIAL Double butted heat treated 4130 CrMo
Lastly for the Trick Track and Track bike folk, the Turbo saddle rip titled the “Masterbo” saddle is live! Comes in some wild colors. Here’s what Master says about these beauties:
“Our new offering for the track crowd. Classic shape with grippy vegan suede cover.”
Through the Master website, you can basically now order an entire bike sans rims. Shoutout to Master for providing the products our scene needs to survive. Check out all of these wonderful items in their shop HERE!
When I first started doing tricks on fixed gears around 2010, Matt was one of the first riders I got really into. His fluent style, trick choices, and editing were what drew me to his riding back then. 13 years later, Matt continues to deliver on all those things and more. This was one of the edits we had the pleasure of premiering during the Suck My Comp weekend and you already know I will be watching again and again and again. Nearing 15 minutes of wild spots and a wide variety of riding, this is one for the ages.
Matt prefaced me on this edit basically saying it was just a bunch of decent tricks gathered through the years, almost like a throwaway edit, but this is far far far from just leftover “decent footage”. So many scary setups, sends, flow, all of the above (besides barspins of course). Sit back for this one, get Lost and Take It in.

Jimmy Watcha – Grimey Gold
Miguel Zendejas – Clearest Blue
Matt Dizon – Cerebral Lavender
Gus Molina – Faded Freight
Marco Marquez – Ghvst Rider
Which one is your favorite?
Really sick paint job on that bike. Nice tricks too!
