Euro scene with a STRONG showing in this! All the major players present along with some lesser known riders in the mix. Marc had a vision for this video and I’m loving the execution. Really captured the vibes, the good riding, and I’m really loving the excerpts from Crispy and Bean that were mixed in. Makes me wanna head back out that way ASAP to partake!!
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.

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.
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.

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.





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 from France gives us some tips on the very advanced Trick Track maneuver: the helicopter barspin keo!
