Ratpack Lucas sent over this edit for us to post up on our Youtube Channel. Super glad he did because this edit is really really sick featuring all the SF cats. Lucas always comes through with crispy filming and on point editing. Paired up with riding from these dudes makes for the great Ratpack edits you know and love. Click play and watch Matt Reyes, Ramon Antonio, Gus Molina, Mike Schmitt, and more shred the streets of SF. Happy 4/20.
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!
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)
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!
Bay area FGFS came through deep on Super Bowl Sunday and got together, filmed, chilled, and had a ton of fun, a repeat of last year. Wheel Talk recently posted a bunch of photos from the gathering, check out the rest of the set here. Stay tuned for the edit to come of this soon!

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.”

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!
Here’s the footage that yours truly and Wheel Talk captured from this year’s Bike Expo FGFS Comp cut together by Slum. Great times at this event. Everybody went in and pushed themselves for sure. Really hyped I was able to make it and hang out and ride with all these great dudes. Don’t miss it! Also, huge shoutout to Josh Silva for making this happen.

Here’s some really nice photos Wheel Talk got outside of the SF Bike Expo while we were all waiting for the competition to start. More here.
Here’s some random ones I got while at the SF Bike Expo last weekend. Can’t wait for next year’s comp, this one was too fun.
