Just Announced – STOKED Competition by Balance

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 👀

Skream – The Planted Seed

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!

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!
