Throwback – Tyler Johnson – The Hammer

Posted up this line from 2008 of Tyler Johnson onto the archive yesterday and wanted to boost it a little more. For Tyler to have this kind of bike control on a full blown track bike 17 years ago is just other worldly. Tyler may be somewhat distanced from Fixed Gear these days, but don’t ever forget what an enigma and prodigy this guy was / is on a bike!

Just Announced – Bigfoot GRAND SLAM Jam!

Adam Wells and Andy Sparks are back with a brand new competition series going down 2 weeks after SMC 8 in Santa Cruz! These guys also threw the Conquer Concord event which was a big success, so I know this one is gonna be fun.

I’ll be there in spirit cause I’ve unfortunately got other engagements that weekend, but if you’re free I’d highly suggest showing out for the NorCal scene and support these dudes!
