I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again: Satoshi is doing an incredible job documenting the Japan scene. He has covered so many riders that I’ve never even heard of, including this newest one of Shun from the far east Japanese island of Kokura. He’s got some great 700c flow and style with a good bag of tricks. So much potential and it makes me so happy to see the Japan scene thriving.

Crispy on Film
When we were out in the Netherlands we got a chance to hang out with 700ccrispy, aka Crispyn a bunch. He showed us around, translated a lot, made us laugh, and even came to Germany last minute with us. He’s also a big up and coming shredder who we should all keep our eyes peeled for in the coming years. Here are some various pics I snagged of him throughout our journey.

Volar 2024 Recap
Great video showcasing Volar’s team and year! In case Volar isn’t on your radar yet, they’re a group of trick riders from Chile and they make cool clothes. There’s some good tricks in here and some familiar faces. They even got Andy Sparks to send some clips in!
Bolt Drive Improvement Tutorial
After some discourse in the discord, Marcus made a video explaining how to make your bolt drive sprocket work better. If you’ve got a bolt drive sprocket with wiggle, try this out before changing sprockets!
New Thrasher + Cutter Colors
Volume keeping the new colors coming. This run has the Thrasher available in an iridescent sparkle half tone with the “Prismatic Universe” colorway and the Cutter in a Spiderman style Red/Blue half tone. I’m really digging that sparkle on both frames. Check them out here!

Beautiful Bicycle – Andy’s Durcus One Stylin’
Andy is someone’s name you may have seen floating around our sphere. He joins our sessions often, mostly rides BMX, films a lot of stuff, and is a closeted Fixed Gear OG. He was hanging around Joe Mckeag during his come up and even filmed some videos back in the FGFS golden days. That being said, Andy recently built himself up this absolutely beautiful 2010 Durcus One Stylin’. Specs and gallery after the jump!
Lucas Sentou – AUCHPARTUNG
The fixed gear viking Lucas aka Poney putting in some real work!! You know I love me a proper horizontal edit. I’ve been watching Poney’s trick journey and it’s been a fun one to witness. Going from insane fish + chips combos to some proper FGFS moves isn’t always the easiest transition but Lucas is pushing through and really making some progress. You know that 180 bar ender felt good. Keep pushing it Lucas!!
Side note, he was gracious enough to donate a bunch of prizes for the recent comp through his cycling softgoods company Poney Factory. Upcycled belts, straps, and more, go check them out!
