Announcing this a little later than I wanted to, but here is the official announcement and dates for this years Suck My Comp 7!
More details to come in the following week, but mark your calendars and start prepping. See you in November!
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
Spanish bike check from Levin with Team Volar
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!
Crispy dropped some raws from last weeks session of Ismael’s persistence on this trick he was trying. Looking forward to seeing all the footage that he got from this week!
Satoshi released the raw version of our FGFS finals runs including myself, Youri, and Ismael. I think documenting like this is really refreshing rather than a flashy compilation of the event. What a fun time!
Alright, I’m currently in Europe and have finally found a decent connection, so brace yourselves cause there’s a lot to catch up on.
It’s currently Fixie week over here and the Fixated comp 2 just went down (results post coming up next). During said comp, Crispy premiered this gem of an edit from our favorite strapless king, Youri Slikker. I’ve talked about Youri plenty in the past but let me tell you this, this man is the future. After riding with him for a week and seeing things he does in person along with tracking his progress over the last 4 years, he is absolutely peaking. Spot usage is unique, bike control is amazing (no straps needed), oh and yeah, he’s riding transition unlike anybody I’ve seen touch a fixed gear. I’m talking like airing quarter pipes 8 feet high above coping and 360ing real ass spines.
Now this edit encapsulates some of what I’m talking about. There’s basically 3 stages to this edit. Old frame Youri, straps on the bike but not using them Youri, and then full blown strapless Youri. This edit was filmed over 4 years so we get a wide range of his progress. The stuff in the first half of the edit is good, don’t get me wrong. But the back half of this video is really where things get spicy.
Anyways, shoutout to Crispy for capturing all this real nice and putting it together in a very entertaining fashion. I’m excited for more edits from Youri cause he’s progressing so fast. Just wait for all the stuff that was filmed with him over the past week.
Extras from my recent 2024 “Waning” edit for Ruff Bike Co and Resist Parts. Thanks to everyone who held a camera and had the patience to work with me on some of these clips cause it was certainly not an easy video to pump out.
One of the hardest working dudes in the scene Chris Alzona is now on the flow team for Resist and Volume! Chris, your hard work has not gone unnoticed and I’m personally super stoked to see him come up on this partnership. Trick Track split edit soon?
This makes me so happy to see. Old guard meets new guard with Chacon and Jamil riding with the modern day LA squad including Statik, Thompson, and more. Jamil’s wall 1 bar was so sick and Statiks riding keeps getting better.
