Bike Check

Bianchi Pista Concept 2004 Build + Ride

I finally acquired my holy grail bike, the Bianchi Pista Concept 2004. After getting it built up in my garage, I met up with Pizza and Deacon to ride to the beach and get a little flat ground session in and break in the build. 2009 me would be proud! Full res photos of the build to come soon. Enjoy!

RICARDO LINO BIKE CHECK 2025

The legend Ricardo Lino is officially out of FGFS retirement! In about 2015 Lino put down the FGFS bike to refocus on his blade career (if you weren’t aware, Lino is a legend in the blade community). 10 years later, Master sent him over a new build and he’s back to shredding on two wheels and looking better than ever!

Ricardo reached out and sent over this bike check out of his hometown of Lisbon running down his brand new build.

Corey San Agustin – Ruff 29er Bike Check

While in Texas I got a chance to corner Corey and force him to be in front of my camera so I could capture some pics of him and his one of a kind Ruff 29er build. This is one of the most talked about bikes in the scene, so I know I needed to get this one to the people. Full rundown after the jump!

Deacon Wong – Courttek Bike Check 2025

First of all, today is Deacon’s birthday. Go give him some bday love on his IG.

Second of all, Deacon’s Courttek build has changed a bunch throughout his time having it. Although we’ve shot pics of it already, it’s basically a completely different build now. So we got out to a good ol’ basketball court with our buddy Josh and snapped some pics! (Full set and details after the jump)

Tom Mosher – Volume Cutter Bike Check 2025

One of the pioneers of our sport, Tom Mosher, is officially posting videos again!! The weather in Canada is finally getting to not freezing temperatures so Tom got out one night to get some tricks and a bike check in on his new camera. This is amazing to see in the year 2025. His bike is a living piece of history (and super janky lol someone get this man a bike) and his tricks seem like they haven’t lost a step. I hope Tom keeps putting more stuff out cause this was an unexpected treat!

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!
