RICARDO LINO BIKE CHECK 2025

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.

Master Store Closing Indefinitely

Sad news for the scene, but the Master store is shutting it’s hypothetical doors on Setember 4th for an indefinite amount of time. This isn’t forever as Master says they still plan on launching a Courttek V2 and other parts, but for the time being you will not be able to buy any more Master parts, so I highly suggest you stock up now and buy some stuff.
