FFF Trickcat

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!

Ismael Lebrech – 3 Years of FGFS

1 year since his last edit, Ismael just dropped some serious heat and progression on us! Having the pleasure of talking to Ismael and learning more about him really helps me understand how he’s gotten so good so quickly. His mind is entirely committed to progress and he will not stop until he learns something. The tech combos here are tough as nails and he isn’t afraid to go big either. Ismael is truly a great all around rider. If you told me Ismael has been riding for 10+ years, I’d still say he’s a great rider and this is a great video. For 3 years, this is NUTS (No BMX background either). Amazing work here for Ruff and Fixated

ISMAEL LEBRECH FOR RUFF BIKE CO

Late to posting this update cause I’ve had bad internet for the last two weeks, but Ruff Bike Co. has officially introduced its first international rider, Ismael Lebrech! I’ve known that Ismael is a great rider for a while now, but after getting the pleasure to see him ride in person, I can say that his dedication, passion, and intricate mind that he applies to our sport is nothing short of inspiring. I can’t imagine someone more deserving of support than this guy. Welcome to the team Ismael!

Marc Murré – Welcome to AfterSpin

A new challenger appears! Although this is my first time hearing about Marc, he is clearly not new to the scene. AfterSpin is Paris’ latest fixed gear collective and crew ran by El Fakijoe. Already, their style is being clearly established and characterized by high quality, clean production. I’m really into it.

Marc’s riding is similar to Elfakie’s, which we all know and love. It’s clean, simple, and incredibly stylish. Sometimes, you don’t need the fanciest tricks in the world to make impact. AfterSpin describes him as a rising star though, which in my opinion means he’s still learning and likely has much more skill he can develop, which is very exciting. Look our for Marc in the future and I look forward to seeing what AfterSpin keeps pushing. Great job all around.

Jackson Bradshaw LAST TRY Tarck BTS

A raw look at Jackson’s raw Trick Track clips that were scattered throughout the LAST TRY video! Always love seeing the work it takes to land stuff. We should start calling Jackson Mr. Worldwide cause he be Travelling to ride bikes!

Ismael Lebrech – 2 Year Edit

Ismael just dropped his new 2 year edit and man, this thing really blew me away and caught me off guard. While I wouldn’t say I’ve been sleeping on Ismael, I definitely underestimated him a little bit because there’s some really great displays of bike control and trick variety throughout the whole thing. His bag of tricks has gotten huge over the years and that ender is a beautiful piece of FGFS riding. Watch the fuck out for Ismael, he’s becoming a top dawwwwg. Don’t miss this one!

Bordeaux Jam 2023

Ismael recently hosted the “Bordeaux Jam 2023” and while turnout was relatively quiet, it looked like a fun time so I’d call that a success. They even got Australia’s Max Corcoran to join the fun! Ismael and others are doing good work to try to build up the scene out there, you love to see it. More and more events have been popping up on the low. We just had this one, Ritchie is throwing one over summer in Holland, there’s one going down in Sacramento in July, and of course we’ll be hosting one towards the end of the year. Exciting times!

Max Corcoran – Need for Spin

Max out of Australia recently went on a huge Euro tour and met up with France’s own El Fakijoe. As we know, Fakijoe is nice with a camera so he shot this nice long piece with Max. Some killer mixed with some artsy, overall done really well. Shows some personality from Max that Instagram lacks. Important to note that Max is entirely on other people’s bikes for this video and still handles business. Beautiful shots and riding, take a look.
