BFF (Bicycle Film Festival) is coming to LA on November 22nd!! As a new resident of LA, I am so excited to hang out, ride some bikes, and watch some bike movies. Here’s what BFF has to say about the upcoming event:
“BFF is back with its 26th Annual celebration of bicycles in Los Angeles on November 22. BFF Los Angeles presents three curated short and feature length film programs. Documentaries, narratives, animations, award-winning directors, and emerging talents all share equal billing. Experience filmmaking and cycling from across the globe. Link here for tickets.“
After missing last year’s Trickcat/Tricklocross weekend, FOMO caught up with us, so we planned a trip to Lyon for the event’s second edition. Click into post for full write up and coverage!
Highlights from the recent Japanese contest! So many sick riders with potential in here, what a great mix. A few legends involved too which is fun to see!
Happy Tuesday. Details are officially set for the upcoming Suck My Comp 7 Fixed Gear trick competition! Our list of sponsors for the event is still growing, so we’ll announce sponsors soon.
FGFS EVENT (Saturday, November 16th, 2024):
Address: Schweitzer Skatepark, 218 S Bel Air St, Anaheim, CA 92804
10AM Start time, get there earlier if you want to warm up
We’ve decided to throw the FGFS event at a humble skatepark in Anaheim called Schweitzer! The skatepark allows for creativity and has a bit of terrain for everybody. The hits aren’t super obvious which in my opinion, will make for some fun takes on the park and different looking runs from everybody. Along with all of that, there is plenty of parking, grass and shade to hang out in, and the park is always empty.
For the Trick Track event, we’ve decided to host it at a very famous ditch spot in Long Beach. The bank will allow for people to go into fakie easily, there’s tons of space to work with, it’s much easier to get to than last year’s event, and you can even jump the bank to bank if you’re feeling ballsy!
It’s also important to note that this is not a city-approved event, which always runs the risk of being shut down. If this happens, we will refund all entry fees.
If you’re competing, please pre register here. It helps us with organization! Also, you’ll be charged $10 instead of $5 if you register day of.
Jakub recently hosted a really interesting event in France recently called the Trickcat, where “Participants received manifest with checkpoints (spots) on which they had to do tricks. Tricks had to be filmed and published on Instagram as a proof.” Really fun concept and cool video that came from it! Love anything really that brings the community together, more of this!
This just in, Halloween weekend, Bigfoot Fixed and Andy Sparks are hosting a NorCal FGFS event! Pro and Am divisions, mini games, all of the good stuff. You already know I’ll be there so I hope to see you there too.
We’ve got the Suck My Comp 6 going down just two weeks apart from this. Is FGFS back??
