In this week’s episode of Off Track, we brought on one of Fixed Gear’s biggest staples, Jackson Bradshaw of FOAD Gang! We shook him down and got in depth about his recent full length film LAST TRY, as well as talking about some other things. Enjoy!
Announcement: this episode is also soft launching our newly created Patreon for SMC! Along with every Off Track episode we’ll be releasing an After Hours episode, only available to Patrons. If you feel like supporting hat we do and wanna get some bonus content in return, check it out here!
Happy Friday! Today I’ll be teaching you how to 180 a fixed gear bike in this brand new Fixed Gear tutorial series. Let us know which trick you want to learn next and expect more in the future.
Here’s the work that went into my “Still Here” 2022 web edit for Ruff Bike Co released 8 months ago. Shoutout to Deacon, Pizza, Matt, and everyone else who held the camera. Rewatch the finished edit here!
We let it be known that Antonio Wothe is one of our favorite riders ever. So naturally, we had to get him on the pod! Join us as we talk to him about antics, Long Beach, Fixie Factory, and much much more. Enjoy!
Today we have an SMC EXCLUSIVE sneak peak look at the new Ruff CSK sprocket I’ve been riding for the last month. I’ve been enjoying the benefits of not breaking my chain on things while simultaneously loving the way this thing looks on my bike. While this is only a prototype and things are subject to change, the front of the sprocket is actually design-less and the CSK engraving sits subtly on the back of the drivechain. I dig it.
Figured I’d shoot some complete pics of my current build too while I was showing off the sprocket. You’ll notice this time around a higher seat than normal and a bunch of new scratches on my paint. Stay tuned for Ruff sprocket updates!
In todays holiday special, we got together in person for the first time to talk about Christmas, JBall’s head injury, sandwiches, SMCGR 2022, and more!
Late on posting this, but I was recently on the Slow Spin Society podcast where we discussed a wide variety of Fixed Gear related topics, listen here!
Bread cam coverage of Suck My Comp 5 weekend with some extras from before and after. So many people in one video, it warms my heart 🙂
Last Saturday me and the Dooc man went out for a casual bike ride to the beach on our Trick Track builds that ended in a pool of blood, 17 staples, and stitches. I’ll discuss this more on the upcoming Off Track episode, but long story short, I tried to grind a bench and hit my head up top (see gallery for reference). It was such a nice session too. I’m cooped up and off the bike for at minimum a few weeks. I get my staples removed in a couple days so hopefully the healing is quick.
Luckily for me, most of the damage was external and not internal. I thought I was okay until blood started pouring (literally) from my skull. Currently a little unsteady in day to day, but overall not concussed.
Moral of the story, pay attention to the height of things while riding your bike. The moral should probably be to wear a helmet… yeah, maybe lets go with that one.
