Today I pulled out some unused photos and interviewed Wheel Talk’s very own, Scott Horton. He was one of the 1st good friends I made through riding fixed, and has been there since the beginning. Here’s a little look at the man behind the bike.
I put together this short gif of Mike Schmitt racking a feeble down this skinny hubba in the Presidio. The apartment complexes out there have some of the best street spots in the city. So many untouched treasures just waiting to be hit. I’ve been doing a ton of filming for the upcoming Grime video “Shredwell 2” and can’t wait to start piecing this beast together. This gif turned out great, he just keeps on going & going.
Caught this flick of Jeff Dempler stuffing a foot jam up on the curb, while we were all mobbing around in San Jose last weekend. He just made the move to SJ as well, making it the leading place to live if you’re into Fixed Freestyle.
On Saturday the Team assembled at iMiNUSD to meet up and deliver the goods to the Winner of the PFIX Giveaway, Francis Roque. We spent the day riding around with him while he took his new Specialized PFIX for a spin. Form the way he was riding you would never be able to tell that this was his 1st day on the bike.
Last weekend I took the train down to San Jose to do some riding and filming with everyone out there. Christian Hamrick just moved out to the West Coast and got a place in DTSJ w/ Mike Schmitt. It seems like everyone from the East Coast is making their way West. The top photo is a group shot of Hambone’s Bike, and the bottom is a shot of just about everyone. (Ed, Mike, Scott, Devon, Hamrick, Montoya, & Jeff)
Matt Rice from Deal With It SF posted some pictures of his updated large Specailized PFIX. Looks good for a large, especially with those new 420 bars, and knobby tires. I always enjoy seeing other peoples PFIX builds, if you have a picture of your bike and want to share it with us post it up HERE.
This Week, I created a bunch of Wheel Talk Desktops backgrounds for your viewing pleasure. Click the image to get the high res file for your computer, or read more to check out some of the other versions. Lemme know what you think. If there’s a positive enough reaction, then I’ll make some more in the near future.
On Sunday, everyone’s favorite, Joshua Boothby made his way across the Bay to ride Street w/ Mike & I in SF. We managed to get in a few solid hours of filming before the sun went down on us. This curved hubba is one of the most beautiful left side ledges I’ve ever seen. Boothby put on quite a show for the tourists walking along the beach as he racked around this buttery ass Hubba in front of Ghirardelli Square. We even took a minute to stop and do interviews with a family for their home videos. Broke down what’s good w/ Fixed Freestyle in the Bay, and the world at large.
