Barcelona Flow – Jakub + Diego

This video made me wanna RIDE. Jakub aka Fixie Transformer aka French Fixedgear Federation aka #1 Trick Track rider in the world made his way to Barcelona to meetup with the Ephemeral Gang and the results are some A++ content. Jakub riding spots is a thing of beauty and Diego is getting really comfortable on the 26″ bike, which makes me really happy to see. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE watching him ride the Bombtrack track bike (which he does for a bit in this video), but there’s only so much you can do on flat ground. The 26″ is really elevating his riding as a whole and he’s now becoming a master of both.

Some moments that really stuck out for me were 2:58 (beautiful use of a flat rail), 4:25 (great spot usage and display of bike control), and 4:44 (incredible spot usage and creativity). I can’t wait to go on a trip and ride with my friends soon, this video makes me wanna go NOW.

Jakub Bruch – BMX x TRICKTRACK

Our Fixed Gear king starting off the year strong! Fun BMX x Fixed Gear split edit with his BMX homie. Skills, chills, and put together in a decent manner. I think the filming was good but have some gripes with the editing. Maybe I’ll talk about it on a podcast. Besides the point though, Jakub keeps getting better and better on his Courttek. Pushes the envelope on whats possible on a massive bike while keeping it looking good. This ones worth a watch!

Correction is a Crime – Jakub Bruch

WOW. Huge week for European Fixed Gear riding and FGFS as a whole! Not only did we get Ismael’s edit, but the current #1 ranked Trick Track rider in the world Jakub Bruch has blessed us with a very stacked, very impressive edit on his Volume Cutter. I’ve been keeping up with the progression on this video, so I’m aware that a lot of this is old footage and Jakub says it’s “outdated”, but that’s dumb. Jakub’s “old” riding is still top caliber and he pulls some insane tricks in here, especially for being a huge 700c Cutter with skinny tires. I’m loving the camera work and edit on this too, high quality stuff. DO NOT MISS THIS.
