PRIVILEGED BREAD: BAY AREA

Privileged Bread: Bay Area edition! Enjoy 2 and a half days spent in Oakland and San Francisco with the Ruff crew / FOAD Gang and bay area locals. Most fixie freestyles we’ve had in the same place in a while!

A Day in The Bay | FPA & Friends

FPA crew went up to the bay area for some riding and good times. Pretty sure this is the second video to come out of that trip, but this one seems to have some more footage than the first one. Although the riding may not be the most technical or clean, I absolutely love seeing dudes push themselves past limits and putting work into their craft. Keep em coming!!

BACK TO TRACK JAM RECAP EDIT

Late on posting this here cause I had to hop on a flight this weekend, but here’s our official recap from our Back to Track competition we hosted a couple weekends ago! It was so much fun and I can’t wait to host another next year. Enjoy! Big shoutout to the SMC boys for holding it down on the camera while I ran the event.

BACK TO TRACK RECAP + RESULTS

This past weekend on Saturday we held our highly anticipated BACK TO TRACK trick track competition. It’s the first trick track specific competition that’s happened since around 2009 and it was a major success! To give some info about how the day went, we started at our original spot and people started showing up. It was the PERFECT spot. Basketball court, poles to spin off, and a bank next to it to do tricks on.

Almost immediately, a park official came up and told us we all had to leave. It was a scramble to find a new spot and get everyone there, but we ended up at a park in long beach that worked out perfectly (sign of relief). We had about 50 people total and the energy was great. With the resurgence of Trick Track riding, I think people were excited to have an event specifically for it. We’re gonna be dropping a bunch of photos from the day this week as well as a video recap on our Youtube channel, so keep an eye out for that. If you didn’t make it out, I highly recommend you make it out next year cause it was a blast. Thanks to everyone who came, supported, rode, and everything in between.

Bike Check | Matt Bastard Master Courttek Prototype

We got a first look at the new beautiful Master Bike Co Courttek trick track frame in the Andy Sparks colorway last week. This week reveals Matt Bastard rocking a new raw and purple colorway reminiscent of the raw and purple Thrasher V1 frames! This thing is looking proper. Purple decals plus the purple components is a great touch, excited to see him shred this thing. Which colorway do you like better so far? A little bird told me there’s one more colorway that hasn’t been revealed yet, so stay tuned for that!

WHEEL TALK | SF Financial Boys

The SF boys are back at it again with some shreddery! Boothbys back and better than ever, stoked to see that. He’s always been one of my favorites to watch on a bike. Andy’s clips on the little grass hill at the end were also fire! Slum is killing it so hard with all the videos he’s been dropping lately. That’s no surprise though. Don’t miss this one.
