Sad news for the scene, but the Master store is shutting it’s hypothetical doors on Setember 4th for an indefinite amount of time. This isn’t forever as Master says they still plan on launching a Courttek V2 and other parts, but for the time being you will not be able to buy any more Master parts, so I highly suggest you stock up now and buy some stuff.
Resist just dropped their two recent forks in a black colorway! Buying the 26″ version gets you a free pair of pegs too. At $169, that’s not a bad deal at all. Cop the 700c version here and the 26″ version here!
Okay so Crispyn just casually dropped a whole ass movie. WOW. This video truly encapsulates everything I love about traveling and riding bikes with your friends. My mans traveled all over Europe to dial this video in and squeezed just about every star player on that side of the world into this jawn. We’ve got antics, characters, fantastic riding, unique spots and skateparks, and good filming. The entire video is dripping with personality and this is the shit I live for that pumps me up. I want to go ride my bike YESTERDAY after watching this. This isn’t a video, it’s an experience. Great fucking job lads.
This video made me wanna RIDE. Jakub aka Fixie Transformer aka French Fixedgear Federation aka #1 Trick Track rider in the world made his way to Barcelona to meetup with the Ephemeral Gang and the results are some A++ content. Jakub riding spots is a thing of beauty and Diego is getting really comfortable on the 26″ bike, which makes me really happy to see. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE watching him ride the Bombtrack track bike (which he does for a bit in this video), but there’s only so much you can do on flat ground. The 26″ is really elevating his riding as a whole and he’s now becoming a master of both.
Some moments that really stuck out for me were 2:58 (beautiful use of a flat rail), 4:25 (great spot usage and display of bike control), and 4:44 (incredible spot usage and creativity). I can’t wait to go on a trip and ride with my friends soon, this video makes me wanna go NOW.
Satoshi has been doing a great job of highlighting members of the Japan scene that fly under the radar. I’ve never heard of Kazu, but that’s some experienced riding right there. Great energy in this!
