After SMC 7 last year, I went on a spontaneous trip to Vegas with the Ruff team along with Fixated’s Ritchie and Youri. It was chaotic and I paid the price at work after the trip, but it was so much fun and we got a lot of cool clips.
We went to this famous ditch spot (which we all were also at about 10 years ago), got some clips, and snapped some flicks!
Crispy just dropped Garageboyz 8, my favorite Fixed Gear video series. This has all of our favorite overseas players with some really really good riding from everyone. From the filming, the camera choices, the editing, and the riding, I’m loving the way Crispyn is putting these together. The amount of views these get is honestly criminal and if you’re reading this and not clicking play, then you deserve jail.

The Fixated boys we know and love teamed up with German strapmaker Pep and Strap to make some nice collab straps! Affordably priced, handcrafted by a real Fixed Gear rider, and no hardware. Support the boys and snag a pair here!
After the SMC 7 Trick Track day, the squad rolled over to the Yes Bikes ditch for a post comp session. Heavy hitters were present and the vibes were immaculate. Here are some pics from the sesh.
Rounding out the year with one of the highest anticipated videos of the year, Chase Henley – Hospital Case. Although a lot of this footage is over 2 years old already, this video showcases the fact that Chase is the most talented person to touch a fixed gear drivetrain in the last 5 years. Chase has already been filming for a new project with Ruff, so stay tuned for that in the coming year. Originally premiered at Suck My Comp 7 weekend on November 16th. Enjoy!
Master just picked up the legendary Youri Slikker from Netherlands for the FGFS team! If there was anyone next in line to get a sponsorship, it was definitely Youri. With a recent fire web edit, impressive performance at Fixated Comp 2, and general overall shredding, this is incredibly deserved. Stay on the lookout for a bike check we filmed with him on the new bike dropping extremely soon!
Here’s what Master had to say about the pickup:
“Happy to announce the newest addition to the Master bike team Youri Slikker.
It has been fun watching Youri’s riding progress over the years with his creative style and innovative tricks—all strapless by the way. Riding FGFS is already a complicated task with pedal timing and to do it strapless with finesse is next level. After watching him compete at the Fixated comp earlier this year I could tell that he had something special. Glad to have Youri representing for us in Europe and excited to see more from him in the future!”
Here are some shots I snagged of Youri hitting a cool curved wall out in Den Haag on film! Clip can be seen in the Privileged Bread edit or Satoshi’s Netherlands movie. Youri is a beast, that 180 out was no joke. Especially strapless. Excited to see how he performs at this year’s Suck My Comp!
