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)
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!
Max recently had his Courttek stolen, but thanks to Luke, a Melbourne local, they found it and got it back! So Max decided to make this celebratory video hitting up some spots and talking to us about the situation.
With Suck My Comp 7 around the corner, it prompted me to look at the content from last year’s event and made me realize that I never posted all of these amazing group shots we got on Trick Track day! We captured everyone in attendance and also got these cool shots of everyone with their Courtteks. If anyone was waiting for these, I’m sorry it took so long.
Join us again this year for FGFS and Trick Track action at Suck My Comp 7, registration and details here!
Sad news for the scene, but the Master store is shutting it’s hypothetical doors on Setember 4th for an indefinite amount of time. This isn’t forever as Master says they still plan on launching a Courttek V2 and other parts, but for the time being you will not be able to buy any more Master parts, so I highly suggest you stock up now and buy some stuff.
This video made me wanna RIDE. Jakub aka Fixie Transformer aka French Fixedgear Federation aka #1 Trick Track rider in the world made his way to Barcelona to meetup with the Ephemeral Gang and the results are some A++ content. Jakub riding spots is a thing of beauty and Diego is getting really comfortable on the 26″ bike, which makes me really happy to see. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE watching him ride the Bombtrack track bike (which he does for a bit in this video), but there’s only so much you can do on flat ground. The 26″ is really elevating his riding as a whole and he’s now becoming a master of both.
Some moments that really stuck out for me were 2:58 (beautiful use of a flat rail), 4:25 (great spot usage and display of bike control), and 4:44 (incredible spot usage and creativity). I can’t wait to go on a trip and ride with my friends soon, this video makes me wanna go NOW.
Highly entertaining c o n t e n t. Our boy Max got himself a dad cam recently so here’s the first result of that purchase. This is some high level fixie entertainment and it only makes me more excited for future dad cam videos to come. Praise fixie jesus for bringing us content not filmed on an iphone 🙏
This was a super fun video to watch! Max recounted his trip with Rob to ACMC (Australian Courier and Messenger Championships) 2024 in Sydney and it looked like an absolute BLAST! Alleycats, good times, great tricks, and more. Obviously you know I love the parts where the boys got out to do some street trick riding. Some fun looking spots and great tricks to accompany. Videos like this are what reminds me why I love the Fixed Gear community.
