Bike Check – JBall’s Black Ruff Glimmer

Recently I built up a fresh Ruff Glimmer frame in a rare color choice for me… black! Although the only reason I did this was because they were sold out of raw at the time, I ended up being really happy with how the build turned out. I’ve had a black Ruff before but wasn’t in love with how that bike looked. Why do I like my black build now though?

I think the black fork, proto bars, and chrome details are really helping me love my current bike. Full rundown after the jump!

Gallery – SMC 8 Day 1 by Suzie

El Toro Barspin RAWS

With the Joslin tre flip circulating and buzzing, this is my attempt to capitalize on the topic. I’ve never actually posted the straight up raws for this day (aside from patreon). There isn’t much in terms of b-roll or attempts because this was the singular send that happened on the day. Shoutout Corey and Elliott for capturing the moment!

Courttek V2 Builds + Riders Gallery

All of the Courttek V2 riders and colorways are officially revealed. The worldwide lineup is heavy with well deserving names, including Devan Gallagher, Satoshi Hashimoto, Max Corcoran, Jakub Bruch, and myself. not only are the colorways themselves cool, but I love seeing how each person built their bike and the personality that goes into every bike and portrait. Full gallery with bike and riding shots after the jump!

Courttek V2’s are still in pre-order, but not for much longer. Grab one on the Master site HERE before you’ll never be able to again!
