Jacob is part of our sMc family and one of the dudes I hang out and ride with the most. He’s one of the nicest people you’ll meet and also happens to shred on a bike. He just sized up to a medium Concept Assassin instead of a small and gave it a rad paint job. The bike is beyond dialed and rides really well. See after the jump for a rundown and more pictures.

Checking In | Christian Ustarroz And His Custom Whip
It’s been a while since I’ve met up with my buddy Christian. He had a rim to sell me, so it was a perfect opportunity to head up to LA and meet up with him at his local bike shop, Golden Saddle Cyclery, to buy a rim, shoot some video, and snag some photos of his sweet new paint job on a custom frame, dubbed, the “Toe-Breaker.” Of course I’m not as good at taking pictures as Prolly, but you get the idea. No doubt, this is a beautiful build. More photos after the jump.
Johnathan Ball | Messing Around
Just a couple clips outside The Workshop on Jacob’s Concept Assassin that I was having some fun on.
Bombtrack Divide | Current Setup
Just a shot with my cell phone riding in the CSULB parking lot a few days ago. Really feeling my Bombtrack Divide build right now. Paired with the Altar Burial Handlebars, the combo is perfect. Royal HC straps keeping my feet tied down and all coming together thanks to The Workshop bike shop in Long Beach.
Two Strap Krew NYC | Double Feature
Two videos released in the past couple days from the newly formed Two Strap Krew coming out of New York City. Great to see riding coming from there again.
The first is “Joe The Ripper” or Joseph Montano, and damn does the dude rip. Rail game on lock and steezy lines throughout. This edit was killer, can’t wait to see more.
And here’s a bike check from Zee Washington of his Concept Assassin. These frames always build up clean.
Romain’s BB17 Serpent 29er.
Saw Romain’s build on Facebook and had to post it. Super clean BB17 29er. 700c isn’t quite dead yet.
