Fixated Comp 2 Schedule

Fixated has released a schedule for their looming August FGFS competition that’s coming up quick. Not only will they be throwing their FGFS comp again, but there will be a Trick Track division going down too! Gearing up to be a hell of a good time with the Euro scene!

Along with the schedule, I’d like to announce that tickets for our Netherlands trip are BOOKED BABY. Not spoiling who’s going yet, but we’ve got a good crew heading out to Europe for the 2nd Fixated comp. See you there!

If you’re going and competing, make sure to register here!

Marc Murré – Welcome to AfterSpin

A new challenger appears! Although this is my first time hearing about Marc, he is clearly not new to the scene. AfterSpin is Paris’ latest fixed gear collective and crew ran by El Fakijoe. Already, their style is being clearly established and characterized by high quality, clean production. I’m really into it.

Marc’s riding is similar to Elfakie’s, which we all know and love. It’s clean, simple, and incredibly stylish. Sometimes, you don’t need the fanciest tricks in the world to make impact. AfterSpin describes him as a rising star though, which in my opinion means he’s still learning and likely has much more skill he can develop, which is very exciting. Look our for Marc in the future and I look forward to seeing what AfterSpin keeps pushing. Great job all around.

GarageBoys 5: Amsterdam (Ft. el_fakijoe)

Okay, this video confirms my belief that Garageboyz is now my favorite Fixed Gear video series. There’s so much going on here. So many faces including the Fixated dudes, El Fakijoe, and Finn. Tons of different camera work going on here ranging from high production quality to dad cam-esque footage, a lovely dynamic. Good riding all over the place too, obviously an important part. Lastly, there’s antics. Antics are the key to making a memorable video and I’ve always said that. Honking the horn during tricks is so fucking funny. Please watch this!

Jakub Bruch – BMX x TRICKTRACK

Our Fixed Gear king starting off the year strong! Fun BMX x Fixed Gear split edit with his BMX homie. Skills, chills, and put together in a decent manner. I think the filming was good but have some gripes with the editing. Maybe I’ll talk about it on a podcast. Besides the point though, Jakub keeps getting better and better on his Courttek. Pushes the envelope on whats possible on a massive bike while keeping it looking good. This ones worth a watch!
