Garageboyz 8

Crispy just dropped Garageboyz 8, my favorite Fixed Gear video series. This has all of our favorite overseas players with some really really good riding from everyone. From the filming, the camera choices, the editing, and the riding, I’m loving the way Crispyn is putting these together. The amount of views these get is honestly criminal and if you’re reading this and not clicking play, then you deserve jail.

Crispy on Film

When we were out in the Netherlands we got a chance to hang out with 700ccrispy, aka Crispyn a bunch. He showed us around, translated a lot, made us laugh, and even came to Germany last minute with us. He’s also a big up and coming shredder who we should all keep our eyes peeled for in the coming years. Here are some various pics I snagged of him throughout our journey.

Eurotrip – The Arch Session

In Den Haag we were taken to this insane arch. Look how tiny them boys look compared to it while airing it. Absolute unit of a structure that I wanted no part of. Ritchie and Jakub were getting pretty high up there, it was nuts. Great group of dudes on this sesh!

Lucas Sentou – AUCHPARTUNG

The fixed gear viking Lucas aka Poney putting in some real work!! You know I love me a proper horizontal edit. I’ve been watching Poney’s trick journey and it’s been a fun one to witness. Going from insane fish + chips combos to some proper FGFS moves isn’t always the easiest transition but Lucas is pushing through and really making some progress. You know that 180 bar ender felt good. Keep pushing it Lucas!!

Side note, he was gracious enough to donate a bunch of prizes for the recent comp through his cycling softgoods company Poney Factory. Upcycled belts, straps, and more, go check them out!

Eurotrip – Bridge Session Gallery

While I’m pumping away at Suck My Comp 7 recap videos, here are some cool photos from a really nice under bridge session while we were out in Den Haag featuring Jakub, Matt, Ismael, Ritchie, and friends! Click into post for full set.

YOURI SLIKKER FOR MASTER BIKE CO

Master just picked up the legendary Youri Slikker from Netherlands for the FGFS team! If there was anyone next in line to get a sponsorship, it was definitely Youri. With a recent fire web edit, impressive performance at Fixated Comp 2, and general overall shredding, this is incredibly deserved. Stay on the lookout for a bike check we filmed with him on the new bike dropping extremely soon!

Here’s what Master had to say about the pickup:

“Happy to announce the newest addition to the Master bike team Youri Slikker.
It has been fun watching Youri’s riding progress over the years with his creative style and innovative tricks—all strapless by the way. Riding FGFS is already a complicated task with pedal timing and to do it strapless with finesse is next level. After watching him compete at the Fixated comp earlier this year I could tell that he had something special. Glad to have Youri representing for us in Europe and excited to see more from him in the future!”

Youri Slikker – 35mm Curved Wall

Here are some shots I snagged of Youri hitting a cool curved wall out in Den Haag on film! Clip can be seen in the Privileged Bread edit or Satoshi’s Netherlands movie. Youri is a beast, that 180 out was no joke. Especially strapless. Excited to see how he performs at this year’s Suck My Comp!

Olvoween 2024 Contest

Olvotricks contest just went down in France after the Olvoween alleycat and there were some shredders throwing down! Some new names now on my radar and some familiar ones holding it down. Some highlights for me include Vitto’s fish n chip combo at 6:28, Lyonzon’s smooth style, and Mark’s aggressive consistency. I think Mark is now one of my favorite Trick Track riders, especially after meeting him and riding with him in the Netherlands. Oh and of course Jakub does his usual slaying. Fun stuff with some great energy!

GARAGEBOYZ 7

Crispy and the GarageBoyz are back with some HEAT! In the mix are the typical Fixated boys including Crispy, Youri, Marinus, Ritchie, and even Hank! Although this video overall is a big chiller, the boys put on some serious moves. Youri’s line at 3:20 is actually one of the most nuts flat lines I’ve seen. That right there is a game changer.
