Bishkek FGFS Contest

Well this was cool as shit!! Bishkek scene is looking like a prime 2010 fixed gear scene over there. Where they get all those damn spectators from??

Safety Third Trick Comp 3 Announced

The 3rd annual Safety Third Trick Comp in Eugene Oregon has been officially announced for 4th of July weekend! Josh Price puts in a lot of work to make these events happen so if you’re nearby (and even if you’re not) get out there for a weekend full of bikes! Keep up with Safety Third and Josh Price for more details to come.

ZACH BABINSKI FOR MERRITT

This was a super unexpected drop over the weekend! Our dude Zach Babinski just dropped a heater of a solo video for Merritt BMX. I’m not just saying this because we don’t see many web edits anymore, but Zach’s riding is super refreshing to watch. There aren’t too many people sending themselves these days and that’s pretty much all Zach is programmed to do. There are some MASSIVE sends in this and I’m so here for it.

Not only is Zach not afraid to throw himself off anything he can find, he can toss the bars whatever way he wants. His natural barspin is to the left, so pay close attention while you watch this. He has a lot of switch bars in this that look just as good as his regular bars. Oh yeah, that ender is a switch barspin by the way.

He’s currently recovering from a gnarly leg break, so flood the comments of the edit with some love for Zach cause he deserves it. WELL DONE MY GUY.

SMAW – NIGHT RIDE

Bishkek crew SMAW gets after it in this one night edit. I’m liking everything about this: the styles, bikes, music, and tricks. Smooth operators with natural style and lots of potential.

Slow Spin – Crispy Bike Check

Slow Spin just posted up a Hightek bike check and some beautiful 35mm photos of our boy Crispy! Full gallery and breakdown over at Slow Spin!

Upcoming Events: Oakland Freestyle and FFF Trickcat

Two events recently announced in the FGFS-sphere! First up on May 16th, Bigfoot Adam and Andy Sparks are at it again with the Bigfoot Oakland Freestyle comp! Going down at the wild Town Park in Oakland.

Then on June 20th and 21st, Jakub Bruch with FFF is throwing another Trickcat in Lyon! Keep up with the French Fixed Federation for more details on that one.

Bike Check – Kyle Kelley’s LaMarche PMW Track Bike!

We’ve got a very special bike check on the blog today. For starters, Kyle Kelley is a legend in the Fixed Gear and cycling community. From the Trackosaurusrex blog to Golden Saddle Cyclery to the current Allez LA shop, Kyle has played such a big role in promoting and shaping cycling culture in LA and beyond. That being said, Kyle had a custom bike made by another Fixed Gear legend by the name of Tom La Marche with Lamarche Bike Co.

Kyle has lots to say about this bike, so I’ll let him take it from here. Full gallery and writeup after the jump!
