Ruff Eurotrip Phone Gallery

Now that the PB episode of our Eurotrip is out, it’s time to start dropping some more of the pics from the trip!

In case you’re in the dark, myself, Lucas, Matt, Corey, Jackson, and Kris travelled out to the Netherlands and Germany in August to film clips and attend the Fixated Competition. It was the best time of our lives and there were so many memorable moments from the experience.

Quick recap: Corey had a broken neck and still came on the trip. Crispy came with us last minute to Germany. Krisler was in full effect. Matt was the ultimate tour guide. Pizza got clips. Hank got an SMC tattoo. We found spotmandude. Chu papi muneno. Shoutout Till. Fixated comp was fun. Over a month later and I still have injuries from the trip. Whopper Doritos are weird.

Here’s some fun BTS photos straight from my shitty phone (photos from my proper camera will be slow dripped in the coming weeks).

Fixated Comp Finals Runs

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!

OFF TRACK EP. 29 feat ZLOG

In today’s episode I linked up in person with Zach “ZLOG” Hoffner, a very important figurehead in the early + mid Seattle Fixed Gear scene and a player in the popularization of Fixed Gear as a whole. We dig into Fast Friday, The Revival, ZLOG Blog, and much more. Thanks for coming on the show Zach!
