Fixated has released a schedule for their looming August FGFS competition that’s coming up quick. Not only will they be throwing their FGFS comp again, but there will be a Trick Track division going down too! Gearing up to be a hell of a good time with the Euro scene!
Along with the schedule, I’d like to announce that tickets for our Netherlands trip are BOOKED BABY. Not spoiling who’s going yet, but we’ve got a good crew heading out to Europe for the 2nd Fixated comp. See you there!
If you’re going and competing, make sure to register here!
Satoshi has been doing a great job of highlighting members of the Japan scene that fly under the radar. I’ve never heard of Kazu, but that’s some experienced riding right there. Great energy in this!
Whats up. It’s been a long time coming. I premiered a nearly finished version of this video 6 months ago at Suck My Comp 6, so I”m a bit bummed it took this long to round out.
Overall though, I’m pretty happy with how this one turned out. Web edits in FGFS are rare these days, so I’m satisfied that I’m able to keep up a roughly once a year cadence. A lot of the clips took a long time, and a lot of clips were filmed during periods where I haven’t been riding my bike as much as I would’ve liked, so there was a lot of de-rusting going on. That being said though, there’s some tricks I’m really proud of throughout this one. Even though the ending tricks were a little lighter than I’m used to for myself, injuries plagued the filming of this and I decided to cut my losses and finish it off with what I had. It’s nearly 6 minutes of footage anyways, so I can’t complain too much.
I’ve already begun filming for a new project that I can’t talk about yet. So even though this video’s theme is all about sunsetting, I’m not done just yet. Anyways, I really hope you enjoy it and leave a comment if you did. Big thanks to all my friends who held a camera for me throughout.
Satoshi is a content machine lately!! Today he delivers us a half year recap of all his personal clips. My dude is simply one of the most innovative riders in the game. So entertaining and so much flow.
Chill session captured by Satoshi featuring Forkone and two new faces: Kenken and Taka. Love seeing new blood and obviously love watching Forkone ride. Nice vibe and makes me want to chill sesh!
Tyrant Bikes, owned by former Leader owner Sal Sambroso, was kind enough to send a Tyrant Legacy steel frame our way to build up, ride, and talk about. Gallery of the build and some additional thoughts after the jump!
The Ruff Sleeper is no more. Ruff Bike Co. head honcho Jacob Ruff gives us a rundown on his final Sleeper build. Although he’s currently on a different, new bike (new name is set, but confidential), it’s still worth giving the rundown on his previous build cause it was a good one. Full gallery, rundown, and words from Jacob after the jump!
Satoshi is PUMPING out the content! This new piece features an OG in the Japan scene, Ayumu. Along with being a dedicated rider, Ayumu has helped organize some really impactful trick competitions and events for the Japan scene over the years (the NORIDAORE series). These days while the events have cooled off a bit, he still gets out frequently to ride his bike in his own way. Such a unique style that’s really fun to watch. Like I keep saying, Satoshi’s skills as a filmer have been getting exponentially better and I look forward to everything he releases.
Love how involved and dedicated Satoshi has been to creating high quality Fixed Gear content for the pleasure of our eyeballs. Satoshi just dropped an interview with the very mysterious Forkone, aka Koichi Higo. They cover a vast amount of really interesting topics so it’s worth sitting down and watching. Especially since Satoshi was kind enough to translate it for us.
