OFF TRACK EP. 40 – JAMES NEWMAN

Macaframa + Mash alumni and track bike legend James Newman joins the podcast for a track bike heavy episode! We talk about his new endeavor with Jammer Bikes, early 2000’s fixed gear, the messenger scene, bike setups, and so much more.

Shoutout to James for coming on and check out his new endeavor at Jammer Bikes!

Wheeltalk – Night Moves with the Euro Boys

After SMC 8 the Euro boys (Crispy, Bean, Marc, Max, and Youri) made their way to SF and met up with the Mayor himself Matt Reyes. They went on a night excursion around town and shot some really cool pics with the gang. Check out the full writeup and photoset on Wheel Talk!

Wheel Talk – Doing Hoodrat Stuff With My Friends

ANOTHER ONE. Slum has been on fire with the new videos this year. We’ve got a lot of new goodness going on here. Some callouts: that intro title sequence is crispy, Slum is on a BMX stem (Not just any BMX stem, but the Sadio MTS Rocky stem. Huge fan of that), the FBZ are reunited, Snow put his pegs back on, and we’re seeing some new spots being ridden. Wheel Talk content never disappoints!

WHEEL TALK – BACK IN ACTION

TWO legends make a return to the big screen in this one: Matt Reyes AND Andy Sparks! The world is a better place when these two show face. It’s been a long year but we’re happy to have you guys back. Also in the mix is Matt Bastard, Snow O’Connell, and Australia’s own Max Corcoran. I personally credit Max for bringing Slum out of retirement. Quality content all around as expected!

Max Corcoran in San Francisco

Damn, this edit got done quick! My boy Max is still currently in San Francisco and having the time of his life. He linked up with Humantrip and they pumped this fun edit tearing up the streets mega casual like. Loving the Slav tunes to pair with it! Be on the lookout for our edit of Max from his LA trip coming out next week!

Andy Sparks – Bodega Chillin

End of last year on my brief trip to SF I caught back up with Andy who I hadn’t seen in a while. We cruised around with a big group in Oakland, stopped at a convenience store, and there I saw his bike glowing in the sun. Naturally, I had to snap some pics of his iconic Nem Pro build. Since Andy’s online presence is pretty minimal these days, it was really nice to chat and catch up with him that weekend.
