Farewell Courttek V1 Build

I’ve been riding this exact frame for nearly 3 years now. It’s technically the 2nd Master Courttek prototype and even has a special engraving on the bottom bracket with my name on it, which the production versions didn’t have. It’s time to say goodbye though.

My good friend Paul and I shot some final pics of the bike to commemorate it and put it to rest properly. I’m not usually that sentimental about my own bikes, but I’ve become really close with this one for probably obvious reasons. I never thought I’d have my name on a frame and I’m still blown away by the amount of people that wanted to buy a frame that had my name on it. Seriously big thank you to everyone who snagged one.

Why are we saying goodbye to it though? All that i’ll say for now is that it’s not because the frame is broken. RIP Courttek build, you served me very very well!

Full gallery and bike check after the jump.

Onstag3 – Seoul Day Edit

Love me a day edit! The Onstag3 boys Jaewoo and Hyosuk (my recent favorite 700c duo) just dropped this fresh Seoul day edit where they ride a new spot that basically looks like a mini skatepark. Hyosuk’s barspins are looking super clean and Jaewoo is just really becoming one of my favorite riders. Killer stuff here.

Amour Projekt – Unrestricted Motion Ep. 3

French media producer amour projekt just dropped the 3rd episode of Unrestricted Motion featuring most of the key players in the French scene like Ismael, fakijoe, and Guillaume alongside Fixated’s Youri. Short but fun project with some park, street, and flatland clips in the mix with some nice filming and cool editing. MIssed out on the first couple installments in this series so I’ve linked them below also. Keep these coming!

Check out event details for this year’s upcoming event here!

Volume Thrasher V1 Revamp + Ride

I recently revamped my Volume Thrasher V1. The old school style build was fun, but it was time to optimize it for better tricks and really deck it out to feel the best it can. After building it up I caught a session with the boys and got hurt pretty bad. Enjoy!

Side note, this is like the 3rd video involving a Thrasher V1 that we’ve thrown on the blog this week, wild coincidence.

Chris Alzona – Volume Thrasher V1 Bike Check

Chris keeping the bike checks coming! He’s got so many builds that he probably has 5 more videos cooked up. Classy build, looks fun to ride. Love a Thrasher V1. The only thing I wish Chris did with these bike checks was add a little riding to the end of them! I wanna see him shred it!!

Poney Factory – Thrasher V1 La fin d’un réve

The French viking aka Poney aka Lucas Sentou just dropped this fun little build and ride video of his Thrasher V1, which he says goodbye to at the end of this video because he broke it. RIp Poney’s Thrasher, you served him well. 🫡
