FOAD – NOWHERE FAST, SOMEWHERE SLOW OUT NOW

After what feels like an eternity since it’s initial previewing at SMC 7, Jackson has finally finished this masterpiece that is Nowhere Fast, Somewhere Slow. I’m glad Jackson took his time with this though. It’s nearly an entirely different video from it’s initial version and I think we’ve got an instant classic on our hands.

The talent in this is really fun. We’ve got Jackson, Chase, Evan, Ramona, Macee, Parker, and other friends that we all either know and love or are learning about for the first time. We’ve got a combination of street track riding, crit racing, and insanely high level Trick Track tricks from Jackson and Chase.

All this footage is mixed and matched in such a fun way too. I think Jackson pushed some barriers in editing style and really went for something different. It’s impressive both on a creative level and a technical level and kept my eyes glued the whole time.

This will be on repeat for a while for me. Absolutely crushed it Jackson + gang!

FOAD – Throwback Skatepark Edit

FOAD just uploaded this gem from 2015 with the OG FOAD crew plus Matt Spencer hitting some SLC parks! Original title for this one was Concrete Waves from July 2015. Matt’s 3’s were dialed in this one and Chase’s 540s out of quarters are nuts!

Jackson Bradshaw – Throwback Edit

Don’t let Jackson’s false title fool you, this 2015 throwback edit from FOAD and Jackson originally titled “Technique Fleek” was a super impactful edit when it originally dropped in 2015. 2015 was a weird year because the entire scene seemed to drop off a cliff. Web edits became few and far between (although more were still dropping than the present day) and riding started to go in a more techy direction. Jackson dropped this one and there were a lot of progressive clips in here.

Jackson was one of the first to really dial in feeble hard 180s (and would later go on to be one of the first to do pegs hard 180). His ability to link tricks was also on another level, and then that ender was and still is an NBD, although I think this might be a standard trick for a bikelife kid now minus the bunnyhop into it.

Anyways, this edit also got me into Black Marble and has extraordinary vibes. Jackson, you rule.

New FOAD GANG Collection

FOAD recently dropped their new clothing collection featuring 3 versions of a similar design: streets, hills, and dirt. Two of the hoodies are sold out already but the rest is there so snag a discipline of your choice while you can here!

I also regret to inform you that Jackson has been decapitated. Rip dude

FOAD – Long Term Courttek Review

Jackson is back from his hiatus to give us an appropriately timed long term Courttek review! He goes over what he’s liked about the Courttek over his last 2 years riding it and gives some insight into the new Courttek V2 drop!
