Some film shots of the legend Watcha and his bike while we were out in the bay area last May. His Master build is so unique looking, I love it.
I’m just getting back from so much travelling, so we’re back to regularly scheduled programming here. I have so many film photos and photos in general in the backlog, gonna try really hard to clear everything out and let ’em out of their prison cells that are my hard drives, starting with Mr. Watcha here.
Misc pics from our recent short and sweet Bay Area trip out to the Bigfoot comp starring Gus, Dook, Pizza, Bowie, Josh, Cooper, Watcha, Jake, Slum, Ernie, and more friends (except that spider, not a friend).
Took me longer than I wanted to get these out but here we are! Highlights from AM + PRO divisions at the recent Bigfoot Oakland Freestyle competition hosted by Adam Wells and Andy Sparks! Shoutout to everyone involved for making this event happen and helping keep our scene going, what a great day!
Huge shoutout to Daniel Meija for helping with the coverage on this one.
Also, WE’VE GOT RARE SLUM FOOTAGE!!
Them boys outdid themselves with this one! Absolute heat coming from the FBZ in norcal featuring so many names (Antonio, Boothby, MTS, and more). The main stars of this though are the 3 core dudes: PVN, Kam, and Watcha. PVN comes through with really solid tricks and has those feeble 3’s absolutely dialed. I feel like he could take his bag of tricks and apply them to any obstacle no matter how scary. Kam always keeps me guessing with the tricks he’s gonna do and he’s just so damn stylish. Then finally we got Watcha who comes through with some super high level tricks. He’s back to fighting form and I’m so glad to see it.
The question remains though, WHO IS FBZ408 ADMIN?
Check out the absolute carnage that went down during our SMC 8 FGFS pro competition!
ANOTHER ONE. Slum has been on fire with the new videos this year. We’ve got a lot of new goodness going on here. Some callouts: that intro title sequence is crispy, Slum is on a BMX stem (Not just any BMX stem, but the Sadio MTS Rocky stem. Huge fan of that), the FBZ are reunited, Snow put his pegs back on, and we’re seeing some new spots being ridden. Wheel Talk content never disappoints!

The new batch of 26″ Master Hightek frames (dropping Dec. 2nd 3pm PST) has been revealed! These colors are looking absolutely NUTS. Probably some of the craziest colors a production batch of frames has ever offered. Available will be:
Jimmy Watcha – Grimey Gold
Miguel Zendejas – Clearest Blue
Matt Dizon – Cerebral Lavender
Gus Molina – Faded Freight
Marco Marquez – Ghvst Rider
Which one is your favorite?

Been a while since we’ve seen a certified hood classic good old fashion family Wheel Talk edit! This ones got the usual gang plus a few special guests like Jordan Madarang and Mike Bido! Been forever since I’ve seen Jordan on a bike. If you don’t know who he is, he’s a 700c mid school OG. Anyways, sick to see he’s still got the moves and also really nice to see Slum back on his FGFS build. Good tricks and good vibes all around!
Another instant classic via Wheel Talk. The NorCal boys shredding hard per usual with some nice visuals thanks to Slum. Boothby and Congo went hard in this one! Can’t wait to join one of these sessions soon. Full gallery here
