Ratpack’s Lucas Brockelmann is one of the best filmers involved with fixed gear. He’s been busy in Northern and Southern California stacking clips of everybody for a Ratpack 2K14 edit, and by the looks of it, it should be epic. New camera looking great. So much energy, can’t wait! (Rhyme not intended)

Ratpack Lucas came down a while back and got some filming done with his new HD camera. He always knows how to cut together and film an edit properly. This features some sick shredding from Cole Ruffing, and a rare appearance by Phil Arellano. Phil has been spending most of his time behind the lens lately, and you can catch all his photos that go up on Locked Cog. Cole’s riding is steezy to say the least and it’s great to see some newer riding from Phil.
Always sick stuff coming from Cole. His part II edit is for the most part jibby greatness, but isn’t afraid to throw some hammers like a double peg nose over at 2:36. Great smooth style as always. Feeble to pedal feeble at the end was killer. Hell, this whole edit has great unique stuff you don’t see too much. All hail the footjam master. If you haven’t checked out his Part I edit, check it out here.

The Half-Assed Series is back, in HD, and with the Altar boys! Which also happens to include two sMc members, Robert Rice and myself. Phil did a real good job at cutting this one together, and for being half-assed, the clips are way killer. But with a lineup like this, it’s hard not to make a sick video. It’s been a while since footage of Gus has surfaced, but he’s still at it and killing it harder than ever. Don’t forget to swoop some Burial Bars!
Last Saturday, I went out to ride with Cole, Gus, JD, and Phil Arellano. He ended up getting a couple shots that came out super sick, as always.
Shots courtesy of Phil and Locked Cog. Head over there for the Full Hi-Res shots.
First one was a footjam nose 180 off this big loading dock ledge from Cole Ruffing. Always really creative riding coming from him and touching tricks that nobody likes to go near. His part 2 edit should be coming out soon, and definitely looking forward to it. If you haven’t seen it, heres his Part 1 Edit.
Second shot is a real sick sprocket stall from Gus on this sketchy barrier for SKYLMT. Such a sick trick and picture. Always love Gus’ riding.
As soon as I saw Cole put out an edit I knew I was going to love it. Cole has such a unique style and approach to spots, and is always doing things I don’t see many people mess with at all like the footjam 180 off a ledge. So sick. Great to see he’s being staying on top of his riding. Apparently there is going to be another part too. So stoked for that. By the way, Cole has the sweetest looking half cab bars in the game. You rule Cole, I love you. Stop being so sad.

Always love edits from Cole, sick stacked footage from a ton of shredders.
Cole Ruffing with RYD stayed at my place this weekend along with Alec. Here’s just a couple random photos from it.
