First of all, today is Deacon’s birthday. Go give him some bday love on his IG.
Second of all, Deacon’s Courttek build has changed a bunch throughout his time having it. Although we’ve shot pics of it already, it’s basically a completely different build now. So we got out to a good ol’ basketball court with our buddy Josh and snapped some pics! (Full set and details after the jump)
Ben from England coming through with this cool edit from some recent sessions and events. I really like the diversity of the UK scene. Tons of styles, bikes, and big characters. England riders are really starting to establish their own lane and I hope it continues to grow because historically it’s had a really hot and cold scene. Hopefully this series continues!
I’ve been riding this exact frame for nearly 3 years now. It’s technically the 2nd Master Courttek prototype and even has a special engraving on the bottom bracket with my name on it, which the production versions didn’t have. It’s time to say goodbye though.
My good friend Paul and I shot some final pics of the bike to commemorate it and put it to rest properly. I’m not usually that sentimental about my own bikes, but I’ve become really close with this one for probably obvious reasons. I never thought I’d have my name on a frame and I’m still blown away by the amount of people that wanted to buy a frame that had my name on it. Seriously big thank you to everyone who snagged one.
Why are we saying goodbye to it though? All that i’ll say for now is that it’s not because the frame is broken. RIP Courttek build, you served me very very well!
Full gallery and bike check after the jump.
French media producer amour projekt just dropped the 3rd episode of Unrestricted Motion featuring most of the key players in the French scene like Ismael, fakijoe, and Guillaume alongside Fixated’s Youri. Short but fun project with some park, street, and flatland clips in the mix with some nice filming and cool editing. MIssed out on the first couple installments in this series so I’ve linked them below also. Keep these coming!
Rising Trick Track head Vinícius Eduardo gives us a bit of insight into his story (in Spanish) paired with some clips!
Josh with Safety Third in Oregon has finally been getting around to sharing coverage of the competition held last year in Eugene! He just sent over this really nice gallery shot by Jacob Martin to get people pumped on the competition happening again this year on the weekend of June 28th. Check out event details for this year’s upcoming event here!
Chris keeping the bike checks coming! He’s got so many builds that he probably has 5 more videos cooked up. Classy build, looks fun to ride. Love a Thrasher V1. The only thing I wish Chris did with these bike checks was add a little riding to the end of them! I wanna see him shred it!!
The French viking aka Poney aka Lucas Sentou just dropped this fun little build and ride video of his Thrasher V1, which he says goodbye to at the end of this video because he broke it. RIp Poney’s Thrasher, you served him well. 🫡
One of the most influential riders of all time, Tom La Marche, after being away from track bikes for 10+ years, has re-emerged riding a track bike for the latest Sim Works photoshoot advertising their new stem. For those who know, this is massive news! He’s riding his own frameset via Lamarche Bike Co. of course! I wonder if we’ll be seeing more riding from him 🧐
