With the Ruff in Barcelona video dropping recently, I asked the Ruff boys to send me the photos that were taken during their 2023 trip so they have a place to live. Here are the beautiful pics taken mostly from Corey’s 35mm camera and a few high res pics from Matt. Rewatch the trip video here!
Crispy just dropped Garageboyz 8, my favorite Fixed Gear video series. This has all of our favorite overseas players with some really really good riding from everyone. From the filming, the camera choices, the editing, and the riding, I’m loving the way Crispyn is putting these together. The amount of views these get is honestly criminal and if you’re reading this and not clicking play, then you deserve jail.
Youri for president 2025
Jakub recently hosted a really interesting event in France recently called the Trickcat, where “Participants received manifest with checkpoints (spots) on which they had to do tricks. Tricks had to be filmed and published on Instagram as a proof.” Really fun concept and cool video that came from it! Love anything really that brings the community together, more of this!

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.
Really sick one from Brakeless Cycling ripping Barcelona. Features from known killers Stellardust and Deythos!
FIRE mixtape coming from the Ephemeral boys Juan, Sebastian, and Diego! Entertaining all the way through, style dripping throughout. Don’t miss this one!
Okay, this seemed to come out of nowhere (but I’m not super in touch with the Colombian scene so maybe its been a big thing), but man this is a good. ass. video. So much fresh, quality footage with both familiar and new faces from down south. Tons of heavy tricks in this. Personally my favorite sections were from Esneider (2:00 mark) and Diego (10:25 mark), but the entire video is absolute quality. I know how much effort and time it takes to put a long video like this together so well done to Santiago for this. My only critique is that the sections ended super abruptly but other than that this is cut together well. Sit down and watch this, I promise you won’t regret it!
