YOURI SLIKKER FOR MASTER BIKE CO

Master just picked up the legendary Youri Slikker from Netherlands for the FGFS team! If there was anyone next in line to get a sponsorship, it was definitely Youri. With a recent fire web edit, impressive performance at Fixated Comp 2, and general overall shredding, this is incredibly deserved. Stay on the lookout for a bike check we filmed with him on the new bike dropping extremely soon!

Here’s what Master had to say about the pickup:

“Happy to announce the newest addition to the Master bike team Youri Slikker.
It has been fun watching Youri’s riding progress over the years with his creative style and innovative tricks—all strapless by the way. Riding FGFS is already a complicated task with pedal timing and to do it strapless with finesse is next level. After watching him compete at the Fixated comp earlier this year I could tell that he had something special. Glad to have Youri representing for us in Europe and excited to see more from him in the future!”

Suck My Comp 6 Group Shots

With Suck My Comp 7 around the corner, it prompted me to look at the content from last year’s event and made me realize that I never posted all of these amazing group shots we got on Trick Track day! We captured everyone in attendance and also got these cool shots of everyone with their Courtteks. If anyone was waiting for these, I’m sorry it took so long.

Join us again this year for FGFS and Trick Track action at Suck My Comp 7, registration and details here!

MASTER FRAME SALE

VERY RARE. If you haven’t noticed, Master product never goes on sale. So what is this? Is the financial ruin of the country upon us? Luckily not (for now), but Master is moving headquarters from Seattle to LA and Kareem doesn’t wanna lug all the frames here. So frames, forks, and bars are all 20% off. Take advantage while you can!

HISLOW and His Master Hightek

During the Suck My Comp 6 weekend I had the pleasure of finally meeting one of the only FGFS riders in Taiwan, Hislow. I pulled him aside during a session and asked to shoot some pics of him and his Jimmy Watcha Master build, and he didn’t disappoint. Absolute star. Full photoset after the jump.

84 Kick Courttek Bike Check

Satoshi gives us the rundown on his lovely old school style Master Courttek build! He has a lot of nice and thoughtful words to say in the second half of the video, which I actually enjoyed even more than the bike rundown.

Jakub Bruch – BMX x TRICKTRACK

Our Fixed Gear king starting off the year strong! Fun BMX x Fixed Gear split edit with his BMX homie. Skills, chills, and put together in a decent manner. I think the filming was good but have some gripes with the editing. Maybe I’ll talk about it on a podcast. Besides the point though, Jakub keeps getting better and better on his Courttek. Pushes the envelope on whats possible on a massive bike while keeping it looking good. This ones worth a watch!

Marco & Oscar – Send Saturdays 1

One of my favorite duos is back at it for a hopefully consistent new series called “Send Saturdays” where the two lads bro out and send some cool tricks. I love their dynamic and love the way Oscar captures riding and moments. Really entertaining!

Also, Pizza won the raffle for the Master bars. That shit RIGGED AF
