FORKONE // Yume No Tsuzuki

THIS IS WHAT I LIKE TO SEE. Little late on this cause I was on vacation, but 84kick dropped this INSANE edit of flatland fixed freestyle extraordinaire forkone aka Koichi. There’s too much progressive goodness to call out specifically that I don’t see anyone else messing with in here. Watching this edit definitely gives me a few ideas. Also love the fact that he’s on all 3 iterations of Volume’s fixed gear frames in here (Cutter, Thrasher, Vandal). Don’t miss this one, Koichi is on another level and I don’t say that lightly.

Been a while, but Guillermo is back with a heater of a video featuring all kinds of fixed gear bikes in the mix. Track bikes, Trick Track setups, and even our boy Max on the FGFS. It’s really good to see a new video from Memo and this group of dudes, it’s been missed. Peep!

Head Smash

Last Saturday me and the Dooc man went out for a casual bike ride to the beach on our Trick Track builds that ended in a pool of blood, 17 staples, and stitches. I’ll discuss this more on the upcoming Off Track episode, but long story short, I tried to grind a bench and hit my head up top (see gallery for reference). It was such a nice session too. I’m cooped up and off the bike for at minimum a few weeks. I get my staples removed in a couple days so hopefully the healing is quick.

Luckily for me, most of the damage was external and not internal. I thought I was okay until blood started pouring (literally) from my skull. Currently a little unsteady in day to day, but overall not concussed.

Moral of the story, pay attention to the height of things while riding your bike. The moral should probably be to wear a helmet… yeah, maybe lets go with that one.
