MASTER COURTTEK FOR SALE NOW (KIND OF)

The new 2023 Trick Track frame of the year, the Master Courttek, officially went up for sale at 9am today. Bad news though: at the time of writing this post, the Andy Sparks blue colorway is all sold out, and the glow in the dark is sold out in Small and Large (medium still in stock though).

The good news? Since more of my signature colorway was produced as a whole, all sizes are currently still available! If you’re on the fence about snagging one, frames won’t be restocked for at least a couple years. Just something to think about.

SNAG ONE HERE

Side note, 700c forks were restocked in chrome and black as well! Upgrade your Trick Track build or finish off your Courttek the right way, grab a fork here.

THE DAY OF RECKONING IS UPON US. The long long awaited Master Courttek frames finally go on sale TOMORROW at 9am PST. Set your alarm cause they will go quick.

You’ can’ll be able to find them on the Master website HERE

Andy Sparks – Bodega Chillin

End of last year on my brief trip to SF I caught back up with Andy who I hadn’t seen in a while. We cruised around with a big group in Oakland, stopped at a convenience store, and there I saw his bike glowing in the sun. Naturally, I had to snap some pics of his iconic Nem Pro build. Since Andy’s online presence is pretty minimal these days, it was really nice to chat and catch up with him that weekend.

A Day in The Bay | FPA & Friends

FPA crew went up to the bay area for some riding and good times. Pretty sure this is the second video to come out of that trip, but this one seems to have some more footage than the first one. Although the riding may not be the most technical or clean, I absolutely love seeing dudes push themselves past limits and putting work into their craft. Keep em coming!!

Wheel Talk – Clockwork

Been a while since we’ve seen a certified hood classic good old fashion family Wheel Talk edit! This ones got the usual gang plus a few special guests like Jordan Madarang and Mike Bido! Been forever since I’ve seen Jordan on a bike. If you don’t know who he is, he’s a 700c mid school OG. Anyways, sick to see he’s still got the moves and also really nice to see Slum back on his FGFS build. Good tricks and good vibes all around!

Wheel Talk | Shine Together

Another straight certified hood classic in this one from Slum Worm and the Wheel Talk gang! Love seeing me some Congo and Boothby in the mix too, always adds some nice spice. Love the way it was cut together too and Slum’s ending trick is so wild on a bike that big, don’t miss!

Wheel Talk | The Sun Never Sets

Another instant classic via Wheel Talk. The NorCal boys shredding hard per usual with some nice visuals thanks to Slum. Boothby and Congo went hard in this one! Can’t wait to join one of these sessions soon. Full gallery here

Wheel Talk | San Francisco Sideshow

Wheel Talk coming in hot with a new all FGFS video! You love to see it. It’s been a long time since we’ve seen some of these dudes shredding like Boothby and Combs. Words can’t describe the joy I feel to see all these dudes still carrying the torch and shredding hard. Especially loved Boothby’s up and over hop into the transition at 3rd and army at the 4:26 mark. Nuts! Dialed riding from everyone as always and a great video all together per usual.

FIRST LOOK: MASTER BIKE CO COURTTEK FRAME

We’ve just been blessed with the first look at the new Master Bike Co. trick track frame: The Courttek! This bad boy looks like a tarck machine with some modern flare. Track geometry but clears 700c barspins, fits big tires, and looks sick as fuck. Word is there’s two other colorways that this is gonna come in; the one we’re seeing here is the Andy Sparks signature colorway (much deserved btw). Can’t wait to see what the other colors are and can’t wait to see some footage of people shredding em! Here’s what Master had to say about the bike:

“Samples of our new steel 700c tricktrack frame, the Courttek, have finally arrived! The team will be testing these bikes and they will be going into production shortly after. We wanted to keep the geo true to a traditional track bike while still having clearance for 45c tires and ample room to barspin. All without having to sacrifice frame length. Keep your eyes peeled for these bikes dropping in 2021!”
