For our newest episode of Off Track we’ve gathered the Fixed Gear high council to discuss one of the most pressing topics in our community: what is the actual difference between FGFS, Trick Track, and Tarck?
Featuring Off Track alumni Kareem Shehab, Tom Mosher, Mike Schmitt, and Tyler Johnson!
Coverage of Wonka’s memorial ride in Brooklyn featuring Mike Schmitt and Slum. Ed forever!
Tribute to the legend. Rest in Peace Ed, we all love you and are forever in your debt for creating this scene we all know and love.
It’s still really hard to believe. Last week was one of the toughest weeks the Fixed Gear community has had to endure. We lost a legend, an innovator, a huge personality, and a good person, Edward Wonka Laforte. Mike Schmitt is hosting a ride in his memory in Brooklyn this Saturday. If you’re in the vicinity, you should really consider going.
ED WONKA FOREVER
We are extremely honored to present to you a podcast episode with this legend. The creator of the 26″ Fixed movement, the man behind The Grime and Turf, peg mastermind, pioneer of the sport we all love, entertainer at heart, and much much more, we present to you the Mike Schmitt episode!
You may have gotten teasers of our new 2023 merch line via some Suck My Comp 6 content, but the entire line is now available online!
It’s been over 3 years since we’ve offered merch, so we’re really excited to show these off. We’ve got 4 items available: 2 shirts, 1 hat, and a bike bottle. Note: We made limited quantities to begin with, so after we sold a bunch at the Suck My Comp, it’ll be extra limited for this online drop.
First up we’ve got our “Shimmer Tee“, with our fresh new logo glimmering in the California sun by the coast. Printed on very high quality Comfort Colors tees, for that oversized pre-loved feel.
Next up is a crowd favorite, the “Knee Pain” tee. Fixed Gear riders know it all too well. I am not a medical doctor though so I unfortunately cannot actually help you. Also printed on Comfort Colors tees.
Next up is a good old fashion dad hat with our new logo on it. Pigment dyed port and company blanks which are fade proof, so they say.
Last up is a special one, the Slum bike bottle. Slum sweat not included. Design approved by the man himself.
All designs were made by legend and one of my heroes Mike T. Schmitt, so it was an honor to bring these ones to life. Grab the whole collection HERE while you can, cause I might not being these ones back!
Thanks to the hard working guys over at Fixed Gear Archive (must be some really cool guy running that), the legendary Who Is Mike Schmitt edit that was wiped away from Vimeo is now back online. Enjoy, especially if you’ve never watched it!
The July edition of NYC’s Saturday monthly session (hosted by brokeshutter) seemed to be a massive success! Our LA city boyz Oscar and Marco sweeped the event with Marco taking the long jump contest and Oscar taking the best trick contest. Love seeing the NY scene picking up after a long hiatus. I’m excited to make it out to one of these. Next event is August 27th, stay tuned for updates!
With the mass deletion of Vimeo content, we lost one of the most legendary videos in FGFS history: The Grime’s Shredwell 2. Don’t worry though, Fixed Gear Archive is here to save the day! I just uploaded the video back up onto the channel for our viewing pleasure. Enjoy!
