While Bombay was filming for his recent Master edit, he was also having photos shot at most of the spots he was doing tricks at. I love a photo gallery and am stoked on how clean these pictures turned out. Full gallery after the jump and don’t forget to follow Bombay on IG!
I never would have thought I’d be saying the words “Sadio” and “2026” in the same sentence. Today on Facebook Sadio just announced that they’ll be hitting the market with some new parts for 2026 (It’s from the official Sadio Facebook that hasn’t posted since 2012, so you know it’s legit). They’re bringing to the table a revamp of the classic Sadio 420 bars called the Sadio Reborn 420 bars, and a revamp of their classic Viper rims now called the Vamper rims.
The new bars are coming in at a shockingly low rise for 2026 at just 4.8″ with a Brokeboyz style 4 piece bar setup. Even though the standard these days is 6″ and up, I don’t think this is actually a bad thing. With the rise of Trick Track and 700c FGFS bikes, there’s a need for more low bar options IMO. Tall bars make bigger bikes feel kind of weird so this might end up being a good option for you 700c / Trick Track lot.
The new rims are a different style from their predecessor coming in with an MTX deep v rim style rather than their original boxy design. They’re going to only be available in 26″ and come in at a weight of 690g, making it a lightweight option compared to some others on the market.
Sadio built a huge legacy during the time they were active from 2010 – 2014, so I have faith that these will be quality parts. I hear they’re even looking to sponsor some riders, so that’s also a good sign that they’re here to support things rather than just take from the scene. Sadio’s branding has always been my favorite part about the company and I think the layouts of these promos alone make me wanna get their stuff in hand.
I haven’t seen any info on when and where these will be available for purchase. They don’t even have an instagram page, so I’ll be keeping an eye on their Facebook for updates and posting it here.
Bombay is Thailand’s last stand. Once upon a time, Thailand had one of the highest concentrations of FGFS riders in the early 2010’s and it quickly became one of the most desired travel destinations for FGFS pro riders. Fast forward 10 years and the scene has fizzled out. The 100’s of riders that once flooded the streets and parks of Thailand are nowhere to be found, but as the dust settles, a lone Bombay Chakrist stands. Not only has he stood the test of time, he has refined his craft to perfection.
Bombay has spent a while filming this new edit for Master and I’m honored that he sent it through to post on the SMC channel. He’s been in the scene for a long time now and he still continues to progress and impress me everytime I see clips. Big shoutout to Bombay and make sure to follow him on his new account HERE because his old account was deleted!
Fun little event that went down in Thailand recently. More of this type of stuff everywhere please!!
Thailand shredder Bombay Chakrist with a suuuper nice little beach video showing off his new bike for his fresh sponsor Master Bike Co. Super pleasant on the eyes and ears.
Master just announced their newest international rider: Thailand’s own Bombay Chakrist! Bombay has been in the scene for a long time and has stuck with the sport even with the scene in Thailand dying down. His improvement has been great throughout the years and definitely deserves some recognition. Congrats to both parties!
Jaoa just uploaded him and Dew’s trip to Korea from a few years ago that I believe was in the CFTY3 DVD. Two of the most famous Thai FGFS riders of all time went out to tear up the streets of Korea and looked like they had a great time doing it. Looking like true celebrities out there.
I feel like this slipped through the cracks and under people’s radars, but this is still one of my favorite web edits throughout the years. We’ve got Wheeltalk killers Devon, Anthony, and Jaoa featuring Steven Jensen. That lineup right there is destined for greatness. If you haven’t seen this, you definitely need to watch it asap. Jaoa puts it together beautifully, really making me miss Thailand.
It’s been a quiet year for FGFS Thailand, but they ended the year strong with a great skatepark session featuring Ky, Bombay, Petch, and Nuttapong. All these dudes have so much charge and energy on an FGFS bike and it’s really a bummer we don’t see them ride more often. Don’t miss this one!
Chill little trick track piece from Thai shredder Tae Apicha. Stoked to see the trick track revival beginning to take over!
