Today we’ve got Jakob Santos in the virtual studio! This took me 3 days to edit so please watch and appreciate the effort that went into this.
We discuss his long history of action sports, riding for SE twice, his massive amounts of Fixed Gear success, switching to Bike Life, and so much more in this hefty 2.5 hour long episode.
A while ago Deacon and I headed out to Hawaiian Gardens skatepark to film this fun little promo for the new Crew Defender 26 complete! CG finally posted up the full size promo on their YT. We had a lot of fun on this one and the bikes are a great entry level complete bike.
This is what I love to see right here!! Stacking your best clips in a full screen format. Chris went in for this new edit for Resist. He does a lot of his usual Chris combos but with extra spice on them. The 3 clips after the 3:37 mark are some insane combo wizardry that personally blew my mind and had me jumping out my seat. This is huge, Chris is putting in that work!!
Ritchie recently built up his new prototype Fixated Vigorous build! The bike turned out sick with the raw to black fade and his component choice is on point. Filming is Crispy too. Regular updates on the release of the frame can be found on the Fixated IG!
Some selfie street action in this one
This week Fixated teased a first look at an upcoming “Vigorous” frame in development. We don’t have details yet, but the Euro scene is going to benefit heavily from a more local buying option. I’m excited to see more. Word is Ritchie’s building it this week, so stay tuned for that on the Fixated IG!
The legend Ricardo Lino is officially out of FGFS retirement! In about 2015 Lino put down the FGFS bike to refocus on his blade career (if you weren’t aware, Lino is a legend in the blade community). 10 years later, Master sent him over a new build and he’s back to shredding on two wheels and looking better than ever!
Ricardo reached out and sent over this bike check out of his hometown of Lisbon running down his brand new build.
While in Texas I got a chance to corner Corey and force him to be in front of my camera so I could capture some pics of him and his one of a kind Ruff 29er build. This is one of the most talked about bikes in the scene, so I know I needed to get this one to the people. Full rundown after the jump!
Lucas (aka Poney) just dropped this awesome build + ride video for a bike that I’m extremely familiar with, the Bombtrack Divide. Although the whole video is in French, I was still extremely entertained the whole way through. He got the Divide after breaking his Thrasher frame (a difficult thing to do) and builds it up in his chaotic mad scientist looking apartment, which I really enjoy seeing.
As far as Lucas’ riding goes, this is the best form of his riding so far, by far. This frame must have unlocked something in him because his riding looks 10x cleaner on this than it did with his Thrasher. Hope the frame doesn’t break on him too quickly because it’s definitely helping him progress.
The Ruff team recently took a trip to Austin to film for an upcoming full length. Here are the in betweens / warm ups on the bread cam!
