This week Fixated teased a first look at an upcoming “Vigorous” frame in development. We don’t have details yet, but the Euro scene is going to benefit heavily from a more local buying option. I’m excited to see more. Word is Ritchie’s building it this week, so stay tuned for that on the Fixated IG!
Lucas (aka Poney) just dropped this awesome build + ride video for a bike that I’m extremely familiar with, the Bombtrack Divide. Although the whole video is in French, I was still extremely entertained the whole way through. He got the Divide after breaking his Thrasher frame (a difficult thing to do) and builds it up in his chaotic mad scientist looking apartment, which I really enjoy seeing.
As far as Lucas’ riding goes, this is the best form of his riding so far, by far. This frame must have unlocked something in him because his riding looks 10x cleaner on this than it did with his Thrasher. Hope the frame doesn’t break on him too quickly because it’s definitely helping him progress.
Fixated Comp 3 is ON! Ritchie with Fixated out in the Netherlands is back for the 3rd year in a row to put on one of the biggest comps of the year on August 24th. It’s gonna be a good one, save the date! Keep up with Fixated on IG for location announcements.
Ben from England coming through with this cool edit from some recent sessions and events. I really like the diversity of the UK scene. Tons of styles, bikes, and big characters. England riders are really starting to establish their own lane and I hope it continues to grow because historically it’s had a really hot and cold scene. Hopefully this series continues!
French media producer amour projekt just dropped the 3rd episode of Unrestricted Motion featuring most of the key players in the French scene like Ismael, fakijoe, and Guillaume alongside Fixated’s Youri. Short but fun project with some park, street, and flatland clips in the mix with some nice filming and cool editing. MIssed out on the first couple installments in this series so I’ve linked them below also. Keep these coming!
Today we get the rundown of Netherland’s own and Fixated head honcho Ritchie van Pelt’s Ruff Glimmer build!
UK + EURO SCENE STAND UP!! Balance Cycling store just announced a new competition called Stoked, a 2-day FGFS and Trick Track comp taking place in London on June 14th and 15th.
The flyer boasts a group ride, mini games, cash and clothing prizes, and lots more. Seems like a fun time. Maybe I’ll have to make it out for this 👀

Winter compilation edit from the #4 rider in the world and France’s own Ismael Lebrech! I’ve been saying this, but the progression on him is nuts. So many dialed lines and tricks despite the rugged cold weather. Line at 4:12 was actually nuts, feeble hard machine!
Paul just posted up a bike check of Deythos’ Skream build on film. Nice shots as always, check out the full post, gallery, and rundown here!
Really great visuals on this one. The euro boys Cairns and Deythos were assigned the task of creating a high production video showing off some cool night riding and showcasing some of the nice Skream colorways. These guys are making Fixed Gear street riding look cool.
Side note, this video prompted me to look at the Skream Youtube channel and I noticed a Kyle Pagcu video from over a year ago that completely went under my radar! This video is so cool and Kyle is such a wizard with the flat combos. Funny that I don’t even think he rides for Skream anymore but you should still watch it!
