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!

Fixated Paris Trip

Youri and Crispy made it out to Paris to meet up with Ismael, Antoine, and friends to rip up the city and shred some bikes! I love seeing different scenes link up together. Youri and Ismael’s riding really compliment each other well. Possibly the two best on an FGFS bike east of the Atlantic? Wish this video was 5 minutes longer, so I’ll be watching it multiple times to enjoy.

Fixated FGFS Comp 2023 Results + Writeup

The 2023 Fixated FGFS comp has come to a close! The event occurred in the Netherlands on Saturday and had all kinds of Euros and even one American travel far and wide to gather and shred. The event was split into FGFS and Trick Track, which is great news because I strongly believe the 2 scenes should be merged. Here’s the official results and a writeup from Ritchie himself:

Trick Track:

1st – Louis Galley

2nd – Lucas Sentou

FGFS:

1st – Juan Nieto

2nd – Youri Slikker

3rd – Ismael Lebrech

“Some days before the Comp when all the riders announced themselves we had such a nice mix of FGFS and TrickTrack riders that last moment we decided to change AM and Pro into FGFS and TrickTrack.

We kicked off the Comp with a bunnyhop contest starting with the TrickTrack riders,

Lucas Sentou and Cris Prevoo ended on a tie at 45cm/18” then we moved on to FGFS riders and they took it to 90cm/35” and yet again we had a tie but with Youri Slikker and Juan Nieto so they had to battle it out at the Bank Boost-off! 

Cris Prevoo won the TrickTrack boost-off reaching 60cm/24” And Youri Slikker won it by taking to the skies at well over 140cm/55” 

After this we did a fun lil challenge! the first 2 to fakie up and over the big bank to bank in the middle of the skatepark got 20€ Diego Valero and Cris Prevoo managed to cash in on that one! soo much fun and we will do that again next year! 

After that it was time to get going with the Trick comp! Again TrickTrack went first.

they had a nice mix of tricks and even used some the skatepark elements. it’s was a close call but Louis Galley took 1st and Lucas Sentou was a close 2nd 

On too FGFS! 

All riders had a nice variety of tricks and some crazy bangers were sent! and we ended up with 3 riders very close to each other in the scores but Juan Nieto took first place for linking some incredibly smooth and stylish lines  2nd was Youri who sent some pretty impressive airs and spins in his runs and last but definitely not least young gun Ismael Le Brech in 3rd place with some smooth and technical moves! watch out for this kid next year because he’s on the rise! 

After this we got carried away with chilling and talking to everybody there. people hung out and some were filming clips on the park that we kinda forgot about doing a best trick and only the TrickTrack riders ended up still going for that and Oscar Le Batar took the win on that one! 

It was a great day!  Thanks to all the riders and people that came over! Thanks to all the sponsors that helped to make this possible and we can’t wait till the next one! Same place, same time! See you there.”

See you next year?

Sens Unique – Luxembourg road trip tape

Banger trip video coming from Fixated. This video is so great all around. Has the vibes, some antics, and killer riding packaged together all nice and tidy. Youri is absolutely crushing it these days and Crispy is looking dialed on his Courttek. Give this one a watch or two!!
