Bike Check

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!

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!!
