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)
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!
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!
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 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!!
Recently linked with our dude Miguel (Suck My Comp 3-time champion) to shoot some pics of him and his signature Master Hightek in his Clearest Blue colorway. Click into post for full rundown and gallery!
Speaking of Cutters, Chris with Volume just dropped a bike check on his 2010 Volume Cutter V5 build! Chris is good at talking on camera so I really enjoyed his breakdown and reasons for why he runs the things he does. Great top tube pad too.
