DESTROY BIKES 2022 TARCK FORK

Destroy just silently released their new 2022 Tarck fork! This beast clears 45c tires, 420 a2c, 35mm rake, and you already know it’s built right when it’s got the Destroy name on it. Little pricey at $200, but likely worth it. Snag one HERE!

THE FGFS SMCGR 2022 – VIDEO

Today we bring you our picks for the top FGFS riders from last year: introducing the official SMCGR! (SMC Global Rankings) Let us know your thoughts on our list and who you think deserves a shot on next years list.

MUST WATCH – CHASE DAVIS 2022 EDIT

YOU LOVE TO SEE IT. I’ve been preaching for a while that the web edit is dead. Well lucky for us, FOAD Gang is here to save us from an eternity of Instagram reels. Chase is one of my favorite riders, period. This edit really highlights why: smooth AF riding, creative lines, some big stuff mixed in too. So damn good. Personal favorites are the roof 360 at :48, scary barspin at 2:30, line at 3:12 (that X-Up looked so cool), and that feeble bar ender was a thing of beauty.

If you ride FGFS bikes, take after Chase’s lead and MAKE A WEB EDIT, because we need more! (No matter your skill level)

Wheel Talk – Sprocket Photography BTS

Fun one from Wheel Talk with a little BTS (not the band) from a riding day in 2020 with our squad. Really managed to capture the friends filled summer vibes from that day.

ChainReaction – Skreaming Invasion

Fxd BLN crew with some track bike shred in paradise, loving the tones in this.

ChainReaction – Hamburg MeetUp

Newest piece from Fxd Bln is a sick one. I love seeing a thriving scene out in Europe, reminds me of the Gomok + Oskar Khan days. Stand outs for me are that slider from Deythos at 1:30 mark. Normally I don’t care much for the long chainstay sliders but that was some insane control! Also homie with the dirt jumper FGFS setup was killing it! Somebody needs to send me his name cause I don’t think I’ve seen him around.

New Bike Day: Deacon’s Cutter V5

Although the frame came out in 2010, Deacon managed to find a BRAND NEW Volume Cutter V5 in the wild and snagged it for himself. He decided to celebrate this monumental fixie achievement by building it up with 100% brand new parts and let me say, the result is absolutely beautiful. Look out for some content of Deacon riding this bad boy soon and click read more to see the whole gallery!
