Ed Wonka 2016 Interview by Tom Mosher

What a gem and perfect timing with our recent Mike Schmitt Off Track episode. Tom Mosher, founding father of our sport, recently hit me up telling me he had an unreleased Ed Wonka interview he conducted from 2016. He dropped it on his Youtube channel and although the audio isn’t the greatest, you really get some insightful looks into Ed’s personality, thought process, and history. Tom is a great interviewer and I wish he went through with what he called “Trick Track Radio” cause Tom is a perfect person to talk to about Fixed Gear history. Maybe we’ll get him on the pod soon?

CLOUD TAPE 3

Today we release the 3rd edition (technically 4th) of Deacon’s Cloud Tape series! Here’s what the Doook man had to say about it:

“This is it the 3rd iteration of standard definition fixie trick riding. With your lovable cast of characters like – combs, dr Jball, pooza mayne, and Gus Molina, we’d like to take you on a funky fun ride ʕ•̫͡•ʕ•̫͡•ʔ•̫͡•ʔ•̫͡•ʕ•̫͡•ʔ•̫͡•ʕ•̫͡•ʕ•̫͡•ʔ•̫͡•ʔ•̫͡•ʕ•̫͡•ʔ•̫͡•”

Enjoy the SD goodness!

Forkone Bike Check

Been loving these bike checks from Satoshi. In this one we get a look into the elusive Forkone’s Volume Cutter V5 build! Thanks to Satoshi, he put english subtitles on them so we can understand what he’s saying. Many thanks for that.

GarageBoys 5: Amsterdam (Ft. el_fakijoe)

Okay, this video confirms my belief that Garageboyz is now my favorite Fixed Gear video series. There’s so much going on here. So many faces including the Fixated dudes, El Fakijoe, and Finn. Tons of different camera work going on here ranging from high production quality to dad cam-esque footage, a lovely dynamic. Good riding all over the place too, obviously an important part. Lastly, there’s antics. Antics are the key to making a memorable video and I’ve always said that. Honking the horn during tricks is so fucking funny. Please watch this!

Send Saturdays 4

Damn this one got a serious SQUAAAAD! Oscar is back with the 4th edition of Send Saturdays and there is so much going on here. We got a rare Zach appearance, one of my personal favorite slept on riders, Matt, Deacon, Marco, Oscar, Calvin, and Ryan. Very entertaining and HEAVY!
