Visiting Keo Curry in 2010

I visited him in Seattle in October 2010. I thought I lost these photos on my old hard drive, but recently I found some of them. This trip is one of the greatest memories of my life because it was my first time visiting a local scene abroad and meeting local riders there. Looking back now, I realize that this trip truly became part of my roots.

Jakub Bruch was riding in 84’s hood.

Slovak boy and Masterbike Co. teammate Jakub Bruch visited me last August. Here are some pictures from a little sesh we had in my hood. I guess he was the first person to ride this spot on a fixed gear, even though it was already well known among BMX riders.

CSK – Court Sentence Klips

COURT IS IN SESSION. New CSK jam from Jacob Ruff and Ruff associates for vertical viewing pleasure (I still enjoyed watching on desktop though). So many nifty shifty tight lines in here, Jacob has become an expert at this park.

Additionally, Jacob has released brand new CSK hats… making these the first CSK clothing product to drop in many many years!

SAMURAI TRICK COMP VOL.2 PHOTO GALLERY

Jakub Bruch captured these amazing moments from the recent SAMURAI TRICK COMP VOL.2. Thank you, Jakub! Now I’m editing the video as well and can’t wait to share it with you. Stay tuned! A huge thank you to everyone who joined us and to all our sponsors for support!

Jimmy Watcha – 35mm Portrait

Some film shots of the legend Watcha and his bike while we were out in the bay area last May. His Master build is so unique looking, I love it.

I’m just getting back from so much travelling, so we’re back to regularly scheduled programming here. I have so many film photos and photos in general in the backlog, gonna try really hard to clear everything out and let ’em out of their prison cells that are my hard drives, starting with Mr. Watcha here.

SAMURAI TRICK COMP Vol.2

Me (84kick), Andy Sparks and Kozo are hosting a fixed gear trick competition, “THE SAMURAI TRICK COMP,” in Tokyo! Maybe you think, “Why Andy Sparks?” Last month, I met Andy in Fukuoka and told him about this idea. He liked it and said, “I will come to Tokyo!” So I thought, OK, we have to do it! August in Japan is super hot, so we will start in the evening. Around 15 riders already entered. I’m really excited!

Last time, I decided to have no sponsors. But this time, Andy and I talked a lot, and we decided to have sponsors for the young riders. I asked my friends who always support us, and they said yes right away. I’m so happy! Thank you so much, everyone. I really appreciate it! Some riders from overseas will also join this time. August in Japan is fucking hot, but let’s have fun together!

See you there!

RUFF SLEEPER PROTO RAFFLE

So as you may or may not know, Ruff has been hard at work the last few years filming for an absolutely game changing full length. Last week though, all 5k worth of Matt’s camera gear was stolen from his van. So Ruff is throwing a fundraiser on a proto Sleeper frame to help raise some funds so he can buy all his gear back.
