Gallery of SMC 8 day 2 Trick Track day is here! Suzie did such a great job with these pics, so make sure you thank her! (Full gallery after the jump)
That just about wraps up all the SMC content we had! Last things to look forward to are the official scores from both comps, phone pic gallery, and a Privileged Bread episode.
The results are in! Both days of SMC 8 are concluded and I can easily say this was the best one yet. Full gallery, writeup, and thoughts coming soon but for now here are all your winners from the weekend:
Poney got himself a Volume Cutter! The bike fits him perfectly and he looks really comfortable on it. He hits some absolutely mind melting fish + chip combos throughout this whole thing. He’s becoming a really well rounded rider too, all the non fish + chip tricks are looking really good. I can’t understand what he’s saying but it’s still a fun watch!
Lucas (aka Poney) just dropped this awesome build + ride video for a bike that I’m extremely familiar with, the Bombtrack Divide. Although the whole video is in French, I was still extremely entertained the whole way through. He got the Divide after breaking his Thrasher frame (a difficult thing to do) and builds it up in his chaotic mad scientist looking apartment, which I really enjoy seeing.
As far as Lucas’ riding goes, this is the best form of his riding so far, by far. This frame must have unlocked something in him because his riding looks 10x cleaner on this than it did with his Thrasher. Hope the frame doesn’t break on him too quickly because it’s definitely helping him progress.
The French viking aka Poney aka Lucas Sentou just dropped this fun little build and ride video of his Thrasher V1, which he says goodbye to at the end of this video because he broke it. RIp Poney’s Thrasher, you served him well. 🫡
The fixed gear viking Lucas aka Poney putting in some real work!! You know I love me a proper horizontal edit. I’ve been watching Poney’s trick journey and it’s been a fun one to witness. Going from insane fish + chips combos to some proper FGFS moves isn’t always the easiest transition but Lucas is pushing through and really making some progress. You know that 180 bar ender felt good. Keep pushing it Lucas!!
Side note, he was gracious enough to donate a bunch of prizes for the recent comp through his cycling softgoods company Poney Factory. Upcycled belts, straps, and more, go check them out!
Jakub recently hosted a really interesting event in France recently called the Trickcat, where “Participants received manifest with checkpoints (spots) on which they had to do tricks. Tricks had to be filmed and published on Instagram as a proof.” Really fun concept and cool video that came from it! Love anything really that brings the community together, more of this!
A few days late, but here are the official results from the Fixated Comp 2 that just went down in Den Haag! (Full gallery, closing thoughts, and video recap to come)
Shoutout to the Fixated man himself man Ritchie van Pelt for organizing everything and putting on a really fun day. Meeting the entirety of the Euro scene was such an honor. More thoughts and proper recap to come soon, stay tuned!
