Off Track Episode 13
In today’s episode of Off Track, we explore the worst Fixed Gear trends, we get live news broken to us, Deacon asks more tough food questions, and much much more. Yes, I messed up the recording and only recorded my face, so enjoy some extra effort that was put into covering that up. Enjoy!
Remember you can also listen to Off Track on Apple Podcasts and Spotify
JBall’s Courttek Bike Check (Part 1)
Finally got to snap some pics of my current Courttek build in Trick Track mode. While it may not be the prettiest Courttek out of all the beautiful ones I’ve seen popping up, it’s built for function and is an absolute Trick Track machine. FGFS mode on this same frameset coming soon. Full gallery and rundown after the jump!

JBALL – COURTTEK NOW EDIT
While this was supposed to be a promo for the recently released Courttek frames, the unusual amounts of rain in SoCal lately delayed filming. The frames selling out in under a week from release didn’t help either.
All that aside though, I was still excited to finish this one up and show the world the capabilities of the Courttek frame with both flat ground Trick Track riding AND spot oriented FGFS riding. Hope you enjoy!
OFF TRACK – MAX CORCORAN
In today’s episode we invited #2 ranked Trick Track rider in the world Max Corcoran onto the show! We discuss Australia’s scene, why Max won’t switch from 700c, sponsorships, and more. Enjoy!
Off Track Episode 11
Off Track podcast, episode 11! Today, we discuss the release of the potential greatest fixed gear frame ever, beefing with Slow Spin Society, Pizza’s new edit, JBall’s abuse of fixie power, our first ROASTING RIDES segment, and much much more. Enjoy!
MASTER COURTTEK FOR SALE NOW (KIND OF)
The new 2023 Trick Track frame of the year, the Master Courttek, officially went up for sale at 9am today. Bad news though: at the time of writing this post, the Andy Sparks blue colorway is all sold out, and the glow in the dark is sold out in Small and Large (medium still in stock though).
The good news? Since more of my signature colorway was produced as a whole, all sizes are currently still available! If you’re on the fence about snagging one, frames won’t be restocked for at least a couple years. Just something to think about.
Side note, 700c forks were restocked in chrome and black as well! Upgrade your Trick Track build or finish off your Courttek the right way, grab a fork here.











MASTER COURTTEK ON SALE TOMORROW @ 9AM PST
THE DAY OF RECKONING IS UPON US. The long long awaited Master Courttek frames finally go on sale TOMORROW at 9am PST. Set your alarm cause they will go quick.
You’ can’ll be able to find them on the Master website HERE
