New Events Announced: Fixated Berlin Street Jam + Philadelphia Phixed Gear Phreestyle

Two event announcements coming up next month!

First one is on August 16th from a first time FGFS event host Brakeless Bones! It’s about time for some east coast representation in the event space. Sounds like a good time with different fixed gear related categories including wheelies, surfing, skidding, and a full blown amateur FGFS event. Keep up with the Brakeless Bones IG for more details!

Next one on August 22nd, Ritchie with Fixated will be hosting a street jam in his new home of Berlin, Germany! Keep up with the Fixated IG for more details on that.

MUST WATCH – GARAGEBOYZ 9

STOP WHAT YOU’RE DOING. GRAB SOME FOOD. WATCH THIS VIDEO.

25 minutes of Euro SHRED AND ANTICS. Youri, Ismael, Antoine, Finn, Ritchie, Crispy, Marinus, Edith. The star of the show in this one is Youri though. Watch as he conquers multiple European countries with no straps and usually no shirt either.

I’m loving this video from tip to tip and I have no doubt in my mind you’ll love it too. Easily the best series in fixie right now. GARAGEBOYZ 9 FOREVER.

Upcoming Events: Oakland Freestyle and FFF Trickcat

Two events recently announced in the FGFS-sphere! First up on May 16th, Bigfoot Adam and Andy Sparks are at it again with the Bigfoot Oakland Freestyle comp! Going down at the wild Town Park in Oakland.

Then on June 20th and 21st, Jakub Bruch with FFF is throwing another Trickcat in Lyon! Keep up with the French Fixed Federation for more details on that one.

Eurotrip 35mm – Bridge Session

I realized that I still have unreleased pics from our Ruff Netherlands trip in 2023 (saving a lot of it for when the Ruff full length releases), but I have some stuff safe for release in the vaults still. Here’s a few off my 35mm during our bridge session.

Skream – The Long Way To No Where

Although I think that saying “The rider who redefines what skidding means” is an exaggeration, Kirby is definitely one of the few track riders I enjoy watching these days. He’s aggressive, fast, chooses good moments to skid, and looks good on a track bike. He’s paired up with Skream now so naturally they had to make him a cool aesthetic video of him ripping up paris.

FIXATED VIGOROUS FRAME OUT NOW

After months of teasing, the EU made Fixated Vigorous frames are out now! The frames come in 3 colors and are built with incredibly high quality to Ritchie’s specs. Youri and Ritchie have been testing and shredding the geo for months and it looks like a super comfy bike, offering a slightly bigger seat tube than the other 26″ frames on the market. For the 26″ European riders looking to not spend a fortune on shipping from the US, your time has come! Here’s what Ritchie has to say about the frames:

“After a long wait, we are happy to announce the Fixated Vigorous frame, handcrafted in the EU with a focus on durability and style, delivering strength, snappyness, and versatility.”
