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!!

Friday Pirates Club 001

Raw fixie voyeurism at it’s finest. Sit on on a session with the Fixed Pirates.

Any given Monday…. | HK 26 06 23

Enjoy a session with the London HK crew as a bystander, raw style. This style of video is really comforting to me, anyone else? Not too in your face, no music, just a session and some vibes.

Crispy & Yury / AMSTERDAM

BIG MOVES HERE. Crispy laying down the 700c Courttek goodness and Youri coming in with the 26″ park steez. Great contrast of styles. Video nicely put together by DTR films

Correction is a Crime – Jakub Bruch

WOW. Huge week for European Fixed Gear riding and FGFS as a whole! Not only did we get Ismael’s edit, but the current #1 ranked Trick Track rider in the world Jakub Bruch has blessed us with a very stacked, very impressive edit on his Volume Cutter. I’ve been keeping up with the progression on this video, so I’m aware that a lot of this is old footage and Jakub says it’s “outdated”, but that’s dumb. Jakub’s “old” riding is still top caliber and he pulls some insane tricks in here, especially for being a huge 700c Cutter with skinny tires. I’m loving the camera work and edit on this too, high quality stuff. DO NOT MISS THIS.

Ismael Lebrech – 2 Year Edit

Ismael just dropped his new 2 year edit and man, this thing really blew me away and caught me off guard. While I wouldn’t say I’ve been sleeping on Ismael, I definitely underestimated him a little bit because there’s some really great displays of bike control and trick variety throughout the whole thing. His bag of tricks has gotten huge over the years and that ender is a beautiful piece of FGFS riding. Watch the fuck out for Ismael, he’s becoming a top dawwwwg. Don’t miss this one!

FIXATED FGFS COMPETITION AUG 20TH

Fixated recently announced they’re hosting an FGFS competition in The Netherlands coming this August! Ritchie and gang are super passionate about our scene so you already know this is gonna be a good time. If you’re anywhere remotely close to this, this is a must attend event.

Bordeaux Jam 2023

Ismael recently hosted the “Bordeaux Jam 2023” and while turnout was relatively quiet, it looked like a fun time so I’d call that a success. They even got Australia’s Max Corcoran to join the fun! Ismael and others are doing good work to try to build up the scene out there, you love to see it. More and more events have been popping up on the low. We just had this one, Ritchie is throwing one over summer in Holland, there’s one going down in Sacramento in July, and of course we’ll be hosting one towards the end of the year. Exciting times!
