Ed Wonka Memorial Ride

It’s still really hard to believe. Last week was one of the toughest weeks the Fixed Gear community has had to endure. We lost a legend, an innovator, a huge personality, and a good person, Edward Wonka Laforte. Mike Schmitt is hosting a ride in his memory in Brooklyn this Saturday. If you’re in the vicinity, you should really consider going.

ED WONKA FOREVER

We’ve decided to throw the FGFS event at a humble skatepark in Anaheim called Schweitzer! The skatepark allows for creativity and has a bit of terrain for everybody. The hits aren’t super obvious which in my opinion, will make for some fun takes on the park and different looking runs from everybody. Along with all of that, there is plenty of parking, grass and shade to hang out in, and the park is always empty.

For the Trick Track event, we’ve decided to host it at a very famous ditch spot in Long Beach. The bank will allow for people to go into fakie easily, there’s tons of space to work with, it’s much easier to get to than last year’s event, and you can even jump the bank to bank if you’re feeling ballsy!

It’s also important to note that this is not a city-approved event, which always runs the risk of being shut down. If this happens, we will refund all entry fees.

If you’re competing, please pre register here. It helps us with organization! Also, you’ll be charged $10 instead of $5 if you register day of.

See you all there!!

Tadashi Nakamura – The Style Edit

New joint from 84Kick featuring a very familiar face, Tadashi! Tadashi is the man. If you keep up, you’ll know he’s been riding for a long time now and has a timeless, smooth style and spot approach. While this was only shot in a day, there’s some really nice moves in here along with a ballsy handrail at the end. Great work!

Destroy Omen 2024

Missed the drop on this, but the new 2024 Destroy Omen is now available! One of the highest rated and highest quality Trick Track frames available on the market. As always, they’ve got some really fun colors available including Impale-Mint, Fractured Sabbath, Melted Haribo, and Midnight Reflective!

A lot of them are sold out already, so snag what’s left here while you can!

84Kick Bike Checks – Ismael Lebrech, Troy Hawks, Ritchie van Pelt

Another bike check from 84Kick, this time featuring Ruff’s newest team rider, Ismael Lebrech!

Also just realizing that Satoshi dropped 4 bike checks in total from his Netherlands stay, also including SoCal local Troy Hawks and Fixated head honcho Ritchie van Pelt!

FFF Trickcat

Jakub recently hosted a really interesting event in France recently called the Trickcat, where “Participants received manifest with checkpoints (spots) on which they had to do tricks. Tricks had to be filmed and published on Instagram as a proof.” Really fun concept and cool video that came from it! Love anything really that brings the community together, more of this!
