Matt Reyes and Mike Schmitt had a field day on their track bikes and filmed this awesome video riding around and having a blast in the streets of San Francisco. It doesn’t get much better than riding your track bike while doing tricks with your friends. Watching this will definitely make you wanna go out and ride your bike.

BAY AREA MIXTAPE MADNESS
Ramon sent this edit over for me to throw up on the SMC Youtube. It features a HUGE array of riders from and visiting the bay area shredding the shit out of everything in sight. I’ve watched it three times already. Super entertaining with all the different styles going into it. Too much stuff to specifically call out, but Cole, Mike, and Slum were definitely a couple stand outs. Don’t miss this one!
SUPER BOWL SUNDAY 2016
The long awaited Super Bowl Sunday video (which is seeming like is gonna be an annual thing now) by Wheel Talk is back for its second run featuring a whole grip of bay area shredders. To sum this video up, Josh Silva is a maniac. Everyone else shreds hard of course, but Josh Silva can seemingly hold a hang five forever and is a nutter for trying to backflip that ramp at the end. Such an underrated rider for sure. I love the vibe of this one. Such a sense of camaraderie with all these dudes. Making me wish I was out there to spend the day with them, DON’T MISS THIS ONE! (Check out last year’s video here)
Christian Ustarroz In SF
Our good friend Christian Ustarroz has been up in SF shredding with our other good friend Matt Reyes. They’ve been stacking some clips for an upcoming Wheel Talk full length video. Full photoset here!

MATT REYES URBAN OUTFITTERS INTERVIEW
This is huge. Matt Reyes was recently interviewed by the colossal apparel store Urban Outfitters; off chance you’ve never heard of them. In the interview Matt shined light on our niche sport and talked about his lifestyle all while being very eloquent in typical Matt Reyes fashion. Really intriguing read since Matt is such an interesting guy. Get some insight in to the mind of Slumworm himself and check it out HERE.
“Graphic designer by day, urban bicyclist by night, San Francisco creative Matt Reyes expresses himself in a variety of ways. We spent a day with Matt on the west coast to get a small glimpse of how he uses these outlets for creative expression and get the low down on the bike sport’s rapid comeback.”

JAOA + DEW SAN FRAN TRIP | EP. 1
Great way to start the weekend with this one. Here’s the SF trip Jaoa and Dew went on in 2013 cut together by Jaoa. Some of the footage has been used before but there’s a lot of unseen stuff in here too. Jaoa always cuts together stuff in a feel-good fashion that makes you wanna go out and ride your bike with some friends. Lifestyle shots are always on point and you know damn well with these two that there’s killer riding to accompany the film-making. Can’t wait for the other episodes to drop, check it out!
