With the Ruff in Barcelona video dropping recently, I asked the Ruff boys to send me the photos that were taken during their 2023 trip so they have a place to live. Here are the beautiful pics taken mostly from Corey’s 35mm camera and a few high res pics from Matt. Rewatch the trip video here!
We’ve been blessed by the fixie gods on this Wednesday! The long awaited Ruff Barcelona video just dropped and it’s easily the best fixed gear content I’ve consumed in 2025. This thing is packed with bangers front to back with a diverse crew including Matt Spencer, Corey San Agustin, Jackson Bradshaw, Juan Nieto, and Diego Valero. The creativity and style of this crew is unmatched and should inspire everyone to go out and ride your darn bike with your darn buds. Too many individual tricks to call out but I was stoked on just about every clip. Corey’s ender is nuts. WOW.
The 2023 Fixated FGFS comp has come to a close! The event occurred in the Netherlands on Saturday and had all kinds of Euros and even one American travel far and wide to gather and shred. The event was split into FGFS and Trick Track, which is great news because I strongly believe the 2 scenes should be merged. Here’s the official results and a writeup from Ritchie himself:
Trick Track:
1st – Louis Galley
2nd – Lucas Sentou
FGFS:
1st – Juan Nieto
2nd – Youri Slikker
3rd – Ismael Lebrech
“Some days before the Comp when all the riders announced themselves we had such a nice mix of FGFS and TrickTrack riders that last moment we decided to change AM and Pro into FGFS and TrickTrack.
We kicked off the Comp with a bunnyhop contest starting with the TrickTrack riders,
Lucas Sentou and Cris Prevoo ended on a tie at 45cm/18” then we moved on to FGFS riders and they took it to 90cm/35” and yet again we had a tie but with Youri Slikker and Juan Nieto so they had to battle it out at the Bank Boost-off!
Cris Prevoo won the TrickTrack boost-off reaching 60cm/24” And Youri Slikker won it by taking to the skies at well over 140cm/55”
After this we did a fun lil challenge! the first 2 to fakie up and over the big bank to bank in the middle of the skatepark got 20€ Diego Valero and Cris Prevoo managed to cash in on that one! soo much fun and we will do that again next year!
After that it was time to get going with the Trick comp! Again TrickTrack went first.
they had a nice mix of tricks and even used some the skatepark elements. it’s was a close call but Louis Galley took 1st and Lucas Sentou was a close 2nd
On too FGFS!
All riders had a nice variety of tricks and some crazy bangers were sent! and we ended up with 3 riders very close to each other in the scores but Juan Nieto took first place for linking some incredibly smooth and stylish lines 2nd was Youri who sent some pretty impressive airs and spins in his runs and last but definitely not least young gun Ismael Le Brech in 3rd place with some smooth and technical moves! watch out for this kid next year because he’s on the rise!
After this we got carried away with chilling and talking to everybody there. people hung out and some were filming clips on the park that we kinda forgot about doing a best trick and only the TrickTrack riders ended up still going for that and Oscar Le Batar took the win on that one!
It was a great day! Thanks to all the riders and people that came over! Thanks to all the sponsors that helped to make this possible and we can’t wait till the next one! Same place, same time! See you there.”
See you next year?
FIRE mixtape coming from the Ephemeral boys Juan, Sebastian, and Diego! Entertaining all the way through, style dripping throughout. Don’t miss this one!
Juan Nieto is a newer name to the FGFS scene, but don’t let experience fool you. This dude has BIKE CONTROL. I’ve been following Juan on the good ol’ Instagram for a while now, but none of the clips on there have really highlighted his skills as much as this edit has. He loves his flat ground tech lines but also loves sending burly 180s. I love it. He’s got some style points too, don’t sleep on this dude!
