FOAD: LAST TRY OUT NOW

The moment the whole community has been waiting for is here, FOAD’s new full length movie Last Try is now available on Youtube for everyone’s viewing pleasure! After the massive success of their 2nd full length film: The Good Times Are Killing Me, it would have been hard to follow by any means. Jackson, in my opinion, surpassed all expectations and managed to create yet another instant classic for the community. Here’s what Jackson had to say about it:

““Last Try” is FOAD’s third and final full-length feature. Following the release of “The Good Times Are Killing Me” in 2016, this new film has been in the making for over 3 years. “Last Try” is a movie about people, places, and wheels. Features the familiar cast of FOAD riding fixed gear bikes in unusual ways: whether it be fixed gear freestyle, traffic, or through the unfamiliar of snow and dirt on tracklocross bikes. Recently, the members of FOAD have started to grow up, embracing derailleurs, brakes, and even suspension. The film documents the progression into mountain biking, and while the bikes may be different, the passion is the same. The film also explores other interests such as BMX and rollerblading. FOAD was born from fixed gear freestyle, and true to the fixed gear roots of FOAD, the film features bicycle riders from across the globe. From Colombia to France, the film documents the riders do show off their unique style with skids, wheelies, and tricks. It’s been 13 years since Macaframa, and even more since MASH SF, this next generation of riders continues to push the limits.”

Incredible work all around. Such a feel good video with nearly every realm of bikes and locations represented in some form. I’ve already watched it 3 times since it released. SUPPORT FOAD HERE FOR ALL THE FREE CONTENT THEY PROVIDE US

NEW RESIST CRANKS OUT NOW

Something I didn’t expect to see in 2023… a Resist resurgence?! If you don’t know, Resist was the leading FGFS parts company from 2010-2013 owned by Volume Bike Co. 10 years later, it looks like they’re making a resurgence. Maybe my email from September telling them to bring Resist back actually made them think about it 😳. Either way… this is crazy. I wonder if this is a one off tribute to their dead parts company or there are plans to bring back more, we’ll reach out for further comment. For now though, snag a pair of brand new Resist Cranks here. Here’s what Volume says about em:

The new Limited Edition Resist Cranks: We added a new heat treatment process, thicker tubing and made them with a stiffer shape.

All for those that need the security of a stress-free crank.
