CSK Jam

Well, the CSK Jam went off on Sunday, to say the least. So many FGFS dudes showed up from all over LA and more. It was easily one of the sickest FGFS events ever. The vibes were great, the riding was intense, and spirits were high. Huge shout out to Jacob Ruff and Matt Spencer for organizing such a great event. Fixed gear freestyle is alive and well in southern California. Ratpack Lucas was there capturing the whole event, so I’m very excited to see how it comes together.

This was the only picture I managed to get while we were at the first spot, and to give you an idea of how many people showed up, there were still a ton of kids that were out of frame.

Results:

1st Place Pro: Johnathan Ball

1st Place Am: Jordan Ramos

SHIOKAZE FINAL

The most famous competition in Japan, the annual SHIOKAZE event, has finally hit it’s final year after 7 consecutive years of throwing the event. Funny took 1st and it was well deserved, although everybody else killed it too. All good things must come to an end, and this event was a staple in the Japanese FGFS scene. Every year it’s seemed like everybody has so much fun and the vibes are always positive. Definitely worth a look. Devourfilms did a good job at putting this one together, as always.
