Matthew Spencer, Yet Again

Great style, great class. Crispy little edit from Matthew Spencer and Wolf Drawn. Looking clean.

Great weather for a ride, get out there guys.

Be well.

br00tal

I've seen a lot of new trick edits today, but they're all quick-hitters and none of them really impressed me as much as this little video did.

51.5 miles per hour.

Fixed. Brakeless.

Awesome.

Some Variety from the VMP

Sweet little night ride edit from the VM Project:

Along with a nice little trick section:

Fun fact of the day: nollie bars are possible. damn.

Fall

I've been outside enjoying this amazing fall weather, so sorry for the lack of constant posting. Hopefully this holds you over until next time!

It's about that time of year again: Tom Mosher's third annual HELL TRACK...

New edit from Ratskl and Grafa...

Looks like they've got something big on the way.

"Lame" trick edit from Fixed Cult...

And a bunch of losers wearing down their tires at some sick coastal spot...

Have to admit though, there are some pretty awesome shots in that last one. Anyone else slightly confused by the ending?

Be well.

Git Nasty

Here's Nasty from the boys across the Pacific at W-Base doing his thing out in the streets. Always love to see what's up in the scene in Japan, those guys are killing it day after day. Really hoping to go check out W-Base someday.
Simple but clean.



Ride easy.

Quickiez

Fun ride last night with some of the Irvine Ridazz dudes, can't wait for next week. I always talk about it, but if you don't already know what goes down Wednesday nights - you should look into it. I'm off to Huntington to pick up a new wheelset so I don't have much time for words, but here's what's worth watching today:

Seoul Fixed Teaser:

Mission Workshop in Paris:

De Rosa (boner alert):

Be well.

Aloha Fixed

A buddy of mine just sent me this link: www.alohafixed.com

Just some normal dudes doing their thing out on the islands.
Always cool to check out other scenes and see how its progressing.

I'll hopefully have a new bike by tonight if all works out! Finally getting a replacement for that stolen bike.

Until then,
Ride safe, ride easy.

Cultur

Sick shit. Honestly, this is awesome. Tyler Johnson for Cultur.

Watch it now. Get stoked. Go ride.

Be well.

Rainy Dayz

How are you dealing with the rain? Indoor barspin competition? Building a velodrome in your living room? Trackstanding in front of your plasma screen? Treadmill wheelies? Go to our Facebook Page and let us know! Seriously. 50 fans and no one wants to talk. I'm lonely.

I'm hoping this clears up Wednesday night for the weekly UCI bike ride. This one should be fun, and nothing should be stopping me from making it out this time (other than weather):

Be sure to check this one out, peep the Facebook Event and Gmaps Route, and if you're in the area and the weather doesn't suck too much, come join us! Going to be a much more mellow route than usual, with a lot of photo ops.. If weather permits I'm planning on filming for a mini edit, so be there.

In the mean time, watch these:

Southernfixed Freeway Riding:

Anyone in the FGFS (or FGF? Freestyle is technically one word but I always see FGFS..) game already knows who this fellow is, but get reacquainted:

Indubitably.

Pick up the REVOKED! movie if you don't already own it. They're a solid crew for sure. Here's a 15 minuted edit from their NYC trip. Nothing new, but a great watch nonetheless:

I'm posting up the longer edits I know of so you can waste time while you wait for the rain to subside. Here's a web edit from Aloha Fixed, apparently comprised of all the footy that got rejected from a Bootleg Sessions 4 submittal. Oh well, web edits FTW!

Take care today if you're going to be commuting in this weather.. although one continuous leg-over skid down Ridgeline seems like a good idea, it's probably not. Rain sucks if you're running 23c on slick asphalt... especially brakeless. Be careful! Stay up.

Phoenix Footiez

Matt Spencer repping Phoenix foot retention... to me, they're just a complete rip off of Hold Fasts with no major design changes or anything new to offer, BUT that's just my opinion. As long as they're a company that's in it for the love of riding (and so far, they've proved to be) then I can't hate them for capitalizing on something relevant to the sport. Be sure to check out Wolf Drawn if you haven't already.

Ed Wonka: "Fuck!"

A lot of heartache goes into getting a few photos and a comical 30 second edit. That rail is pretty damn gnarly.

Rollin' Ankz

So I wrecked my ankle today skateboarding, fun stuff. I think I need to narrow down my list of hobbies.. whatever. Normally wouldn't care or have a reason to talk about such a minor injury, but it occurred about an hour and a half before the Irvine Ridazz ride tonight. Got on my bike and my ankle just felt too weak to ride 25ish miles brakeless with a 48x15 ratio. Sorry dudes! I wish I could've been there, I'm not usually one to flake on rides.. especially ones with such awesome routes. Maybe next time I should be smart and not skate for two solid hours knowing I'll be riding later that night. Life is just too fun. Well, if anyone that went on that ride is reading this right now, head over to iFixed's facebook page and let me know how much fun it was, how jealous I should be, why I'm such a pussy for not showing up, etc! All feedback is appreciated, especially negative. I need to laugh once in a while :D Anyway...

Since I've been sitting in my room all night doing nothing, I've had the time to scour my vimeo feed for some new uploads.. most of this stuff is pretty recent, so hopefully I'm providing you with unseen material. First up, the breakbrake17 guys uploaded a little promo for the Charmer frame. Short and sweet:

Coincidentally, Jacob Ruff is rolling around on one of their prototypes.. Looks strong enough to me! Roof drop recorded on an iPhone, courtesy of the Zlog crew:

And finally (yes finally, not a lot drops in 24 hours, I'm sorry), a nice little edit from Zlog featuring their 2010 fall / winter collection. Nothing too riveting in this video but a good watch nonetheless:

Stay up, be well.

William

Irvine Ridazz

http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=166416300035527
These guys have been out riding in the UCI area for a while now, but they're getting back to business tomorrow.

Hit up this ride if you're in the area, I'm sure it'll be a good one and sounds like a sick route, similar to the Irvine to Newport route we used to do on Serious Saturdays.
I wish I could go, but I'm still out of a bike, hopefully getting a new one together this weekend!
If you guys go, look out for Will on this ride.

For those of you not on Facebook, the proposed route is here:

Ride easy,
Matt

WRAHW Welcomes Tom Lamarche

Saw this on Friday but forgot to get it up online.. woops. More crazy stuff from the WRAHW crew. That ending clip had me gasping... and I don't normally gasp. He took it like a champ though. Nuts. See for yourself:

Meanwhile, in Thailand...

Worldwide yo! Sam's edit for Grip Shop, steezy clean:

Bicycle Portraits II

This turned out great. Super clean. Great to see all types of riders on all types of rides. Don't discriminate because your 'sick fixie' is flashier than your friend's road build, or hate on BMX because you only ride FGFS. We all ride bikes. We all love it. Spread the love. Respect riders, respect bikes. That being said, I do really like that "your bike sucks" sticker haha. Go ride, then check out Zach's other work here.

Now I woN

Congo throwing down yet again.. but this time, it's all switch. Looking good man.

Berlin Night Ride

Good stuff. When's the next night ride going down in our part of town? Somebody step up. I'll be there for sure.

Autumn

Nice minimal video. Mellow song, simple cinematography, but still makes you want to get out and ride. All the way from Stuttgart, Germany...

Fall Kicker

thunderKILL

Mash

New little edit from mash - fast and sweet.

Charming.

BB17 Charmer build. Looking sexy. I want.
