THAILAND TAKEOVER | #1

I documented the majority of my experience in Bangkok, Thailand and will be releasing the pictures in segments with a combination of riding, lifestyle, and other random shit off both my DSLR and phone camera. It was an amazing experience with the best dudes. The differences in culture, food, weather, and everything in between were almost polar opposites compared to the states. Overall, the people are nicer, the weather is hotter, everything is cheaper, and the riding is intense. All the people riding out there have so much passion and so much fun with it. Very thankful to have taken part in the scene. This wouldn’t have been possible without Bombtrack Bicycle Co., Zane Meyer, and Petch. Other thanks to Dew, Jaoa, Nat, JD, and everybody else who made sure we didn’t kill ourselves out there. THANK YOU THAILAND!

CAN’T FOOL THE YOUTH | THAILAND TAKEOVER.

For this upcoming spring break, Zane Meyer, Steven Jensen, Jonathan Davis, RSK, Jason Sellers, Jakob Santos, Devon Lawson, Josh Boothby, Colby Elrick, and myself are taking a trip to Thailand for the upcoming Can’t Fool the Youth 3 premiere + FGFS trick competition on April 5th. We’re going to be filming for an upcoming Can’t Fool the Youth road trip edition as well. So stoked to have this opportunity to go with my friends and it wouldn’t be possible without the help of Zane and Bombtrack Bicycle Co. See you then Bangkok!

FGFS | A brief history

Although Fixed Freestyle is a newer sport, so much has happened within 7 years (7 years already??) that a novel could be written on an in depth history. I’ve become aware that many newer people in the scene haven’t quite been caught up on how we got to where we are today, and there isn’t exactly any place you can just simply research the history of FGFS. So, without further ado, I present a brief history of the scene/sport, or basically, the most historical edits and DVDs. WRAHW Inspired.

SECA | Josh Boothby, Jakob Santos & Friends

This was a really great surprise. Chris Fonseca has been laying low in the FGFS world for a while now, but apparently he’s been filming, and he’s still doing it real well. If you don’t know who Fonseca is, he is an FGFS pioneer. He’s the creator of one of the biggest DVD staples in early FGFS, Revoked, and No Cassettes.  Anyways, he’s back with this new video of Jakob Santos, Josh Boothby, Malik Jones, and Johnny Coward. Haven’t seen too much from Malik in the past, but this footage was smooth as hell. Johnny Coward with a rare appearance as well with some smooth grinds. Josh and Jakob being insane as always. Jakes feeble stall 270 out at 6:16 was a stand out clip for sure. That bank did not look forgiving. Also, Josh’s 180 half cab back over the fence at 3:48 was crazy. Hell, this whole video is so damn solid. Put together real well by Chris also. Good song choices and good filming. You really need to watch this.

 

Red Bull Ride+Style 2012

Damn. This year’s event was so sick! So many big tricks were laid down. Boothby with those backflips, McKeag’s 540 and truck driver, and TJs pedal feeble 180 bar out were too sick. I wish I could have gone but theres always next year. Congrats to the top 3 and the rest for killing it!

1st place – Josh Boothby
