We just released our picks for the top FGFS riders from 2021, aka the SMCGR. Here’s a detailed look at each of our picks.

Today we bring you our picks for the top FGFS riders from last year: introducing the official SMCGR! (SMC Global Rankings) Let us know your thoughts on our list and who you think deserves a shot on next years list.
YOU LOVE TO SEE IT. I’ve been preaching for a while that the web edit is dead. Well lucky for us, FOAD Gang is here to save us from an eternity of Instagram reels. Chase is one of my favorite riders, period. This edit really highlights why: smooth AF riding, creative lines, some big stuff mixed in too. So damn good. Personal favorites are the roof 360 at :48, scary barspin at 2:30, line at 3:12 (that X-Up looked so cool), and that feeble bar ender was a thing of beauty.
If you ride FGFS bikes, take after Chase’s lead and MAKE A WEB EDIT, because we need more! (No matter your skill level)
Fun one from Wheel Talk with a little BTS (not the band) from a riding day in 2020 with our squad. Really managed to capture the friends filled summer vibes from that day.
The homie Jeremy just dropped a short little street heater on his 26″ mtb build, lotta fun pegless stuff going on here!
Newest piece from Fxd Bln is a sick one. I love seeing a thriving scene out in Europe, reminds me of the Gomok + Oskar Khan days. Stand outs for me are that slider from Deythos at 1:30 mark. Normally I don’t care much for the long chainstay sliders but that was some insane control! Also homie with the dirt jumper FGFS setup was killing it! Somebody needs to send me his name cause I don’t think I’ve seen him around.
Although the frame came out in 2010, Deacon managed to find a BRAND NEW Volume Cutter V5 in the wild and snagged it for himself. He decided to celebrate this monumental fixie achievement by building it up with 100% brand new parts and let me say, the result is absolutely beautiful. Look out for some content of Deacon riding this bad boy soon and click read more to see the whole gallery!

A new tailwhipper has entered the battle! Pretty damn clean too.
Last October El Calao hosted an FGFS jam out in Colombia. We’ve seen a couple edits from this jam already so this one is a little late, but I like the coverage in this one a lot. The turnout looked great and I hope to join someday!
Chiller from Teppei and his BMX homie. Trick at the :38 mark is NUTS.
