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.

Louis Trognon – Bike Checks

Two bike checks coming from Louis! Both on Pride Street bikes but one on 700c and the other has a 650b setup. The 650b actually looks really good on a 700c frame! Nice tricks at the end of both of these too. Been saying this, but Louis is quickly rising the ranks on my fav riders list.
