THROWBACK – TURF CHAIN GANG

Long ago (2016) there was a jam in Arizona called the Prickly Pear Jam hosted by Mike Schmitt / Turf. At the time, the FGFS community was nearing extinction. Since events at the time were rare (still are), the whole community made it a point to get out there and join. After the event, Turf released this edit called Chain Gang. This was all of the street riding that went down during that weekend. The video was deleted a while ago but recently recovered, so here it is for your viewing pleasure once again, featuring a lot of familiar faces including Mike Schmitt, Jackson Bradshaw, Jimmy Watcha, Congo, Matt Reyes, Matt Spencer, Miguel Zendejas, Elliott Milner, Gus Molina, myself, and many more.

CHAIN GANG

Turf just dropped one hell of an edit featuring all the street shred from the Prickly Pear Jam weekend. So many names and so many different styles coming together in one edit makes for one of the most entertaining videos that you definitely need to sit back and enjoy. Mike killed it in front of and behind the camera in this one and cut it up together proper. Jimmy Watcha aka fixieking is a savage and pulls a lot of the weight in this one. Other than that there’s way too much stuff in this to call out so you need to watch this right now.

The now legendary Prickly Pear Jam in Arizona is done and everybody is still buzzing off the energy it brought to the community. I planned on taking more video and making an edit, but Mike and Slum seemed to have that covered and I was having too much fun riding with all these dudes to really put my bike down. I picked up my camera a bit though in between riding to cool off a bit and hide from the AZ heat and heres what I got. Easily one of the best FGFS events I’ve ever been to.
