RUFF BIKE CO FRAME TEASER

AT LAST! The new Ruff Bike Co. frames have officially been teased and announced to drop this month! I have no public information to share about the frames so far, so keep up with the Ruff IG for the latest updates on the drop. Looks like the frames will come in black, raw, and a pale green. Exciting stuff!

JOHNATHAN BALL – WANING 2024

Whats up. It’s been a long time coming. I premiered a nearly finished version of this video 6 months ago at Suck My Comp 6, so I”m a bit bummed it took this long to round out.

Overall though, I’m pretty happy with how this one turned out. Web edits in FGFS are rare these days, so I’m satisfied that I’m able to keep up a roughly once a year cadence. A lot of the clips took a long time, and a lot of clips were filmed during periods where I haven’t been riding my bike as much as I would’ve liked, so there was a lot of de-rusting going on. That being said though, there’s some tricks I’m really proud of throughout this one. Even though the ending tricks were a little lighter than I’m used to for myself, injuries plagued the filming of this and I decided to cut my losses and finish it off with what I had. It’s nearly 6 minutes of footage anyways, so I can’t complain too much.

I’ve already begun filming for a new project that I can’t talk about yet. So even though this video’s theme is all about sunsetting, I’m not done just yet. Anyways, I really hope you enjoy it and leave a comment if you did. Big thanks to all my friends who held a camera for me throughout.

New Edit Premiering Friday: Johnathan Ball “Waning”

On Friday, I’m premiering my newest edit that has been in the works for about a year and a half titled “Waning“. There’s a lot to be said about the making of this one, but I’ll save those words for the real post once the video drops. For now, mark your calendars for May 10th at 9:45AM Pacific Standard Time on the SMC Youtube channel. See you there!

Jacob Ruff – Putting The Sleeper To Rest

The Ruff Sleeper is no more. Ruff Bike Co. head honcho Jacob Ruff gives us a rundown on his final Sleeper build. Although he’s currently on a different, new bike (new name is set, but confidential), it’s still worth giving the rundown on his previous build cause it was a good one. Full gallery, rundown, and words from Jacob after the jump!

Johnathan Ball – Ruff Bike Check 2024

As I mentioned when I posted up my Resist announcement last week, here’s a photo bike check and breakdown of the current Ruff whip I’m rolling on. This is genuinely my favorite iteration of all my 26″ builds so far both looks wise and feel wise. It gets me stoked to ride whenever I just take a look at my bike. Breakdown and full gallery after the jump:
