After over 2 months of being injured from a broken rib, we’re back today to show off my current Ruff Glimmer build plus a short session. Shoutout to the sponsors Ruff, Master, and Resist for keeping the build fresh.
Trying something different with no music on this one. Let me know if you like this or prefer with music.
Shoutout Pizza for filming. His bike check coming next!
The legend Ricardo Lino is officially out of FGFS retirement! In about 2015 Lino put down the FGFS bike to refocus on his blade career (if you weren’t aware, Lino is a legend in the blade community). 10 years later, Master sent him over a new build and he’s back to shredding on two wheels and looking better than ever!
Ricardo reached out and sent over this bike check out of his hometown of Lisbon running down his brand new build.
The Master Hightek framesets are now the absolute cheapest they’ve ever been! If you’ve been eyeing one of these beauties the time has never been better to pull the trigger. Check them out here!
First of all, today is Deacon’s birthday. Go give him some bday love on his IG.
Second of all, Deacon’s Courttek build has changed a bunch throughout his time having it. Although we’ve shot pics of it already, it’s basically a completely different build now. So we got out to a good ol’ basketball court with our buddy Josh and snapped some pics! (Full set and details after the jump)
2025 park shmix with a real camera featuring most of the local squad casually filmed over the last few years!
Squad includes: Marco Marquez, Johnathan Ball, Corey San Agustin, Matt Spencer, Chase Henley, Max Vargas, Kareem Shehab, Deacon Wong, Lucas Petruzzelli, Jonathan Thompson, Jacob Santos, and Kris Sundet!
I’ve been riding this exact frame for nearly 3 years now. It’s technically the 2nd Master Courttek prototype and even has a special engraving on the bottom bracket with my name on it, which the production versions didn’t have. It’s time to say goodbye though.
My good friend Paul and I shot some final pics of the bike to commemorate it and put it to rest properly. I’m not usually that sentimental about my own bikes, but I’ve become really close with this one for probably obvious reasons. I never thought I’d have my name on a frame and I’m still blown away by the amount of people that wanted to buy a frame that had my name on it. Seriously big thank you to everyone who snagged one.
Why are we saying goodbye to it though? All that i’ll say for now is that it’s not because the frame is broken. RIP Courttek build, you served me very very well!
Full gallery and bike check after the jump.
Master frames, forks, and bars are back in stock for a limited time! The frames are on sale too, so there has never been a better time to get your hands on some of the most unique frames FGFS has ever seen. Check everything out on the Master store here!
Max recently had his Courttek stolen, but thanks to Luke, a Melbourne local, they found it and got it back! So Max decided to make this celebratory video hitting up some spots and talking to us about the situation.
Master master Kareem joined us on a session in his new hood recently. It’s been about 10 years since I’ve been to this skatepark, so we had fun getting re-acclimated with one another. Kareem doesn’t get out on his bike that much anymore, but his recent move to LA has him more motivated to be back on the bike than ever. He’s always a treat to watch ride and he nailed this un luc-e on this big hubba with ease.
The Master shop has reopened! Since the reopen is temporary, now is the time to stock up on any parts you’ve been trying to get your hands on plus some new goodies.
For new products we’ve got a new hubset color in gun metal! This color is only available in a 3/8th axle. Loving the way it looks.
Next, you heard that right, I said HUBSET. That means Master 64 front hubs are now being offered, so you can finally perfectly match your rear Master 64 hub in black or silver! These hubs work with nearly all forks, so you don’t have to worry about axle size or anything.
Lastly everything else is restocked including frames, forks, black and silver hubs, axles, and everything in between. Store won’t be open permanently, so grab everything while you can on the Master store here!
