NEW BIKE DAY. The homie Devon Lawson built up a MASH Steel Frame earlier this Summer and has been back up and rolling… On a fixed gear at least. Devon stays active on other kinds of bikes as well. He’s even inspired Anthony Combs to bring his bike up to The City to roll around with us. It’s a beautiful thing. I loved going on trips with these dudes growing up and it’s great that we still get together in the exact same way.

WHEELIE WEDNESDAY. Who’s going to the next Fixie Goons ride out on Sunday? It’s going to be the first one of the year and it’s going to be a good one. Speaking of firsts, here’s a recap of the first goon ride I ever went to with @slamdunkernie Shout out to @BlocBoiTV for putting this event on month after month and year after year. It’s because of him that we’re able to have this fun.
Whenever I’m in The Bay, I call up Andy Sparks. I like to imagine that a video game ring tone goes off on his end, he puts down his gameboy, picks up the phone, does a backflip off the bed and says. “Yo yo, what’s uppp.” Actually I’m pretty sure that’s how it happens. Anyways after a quick Bart ride from Berkley Andy usually hops off at the Embarcadero where we meet up at the Clocktower. It’s easy to get stuck there, but we know that. So after a couple quick tricks, we both stop riding look each other in the eyes and go… “yeah, let’s get outta here.”
We filmed for a solo video of Andy earlier this Summer and will probably drop that later this month, but until then scroll through some photos from our time filming. Every time I visit San Francisco it’s a completely different experience and I’m really glad we got to film / ride at some of the places we did for this video. Stay tuned and long live Trick Track.

Footage from my trip to San Francisco in May. All the usual Suspects came out the woodwork to hangout and ride. Jake Lanich rides a minute long wheelie, Devon Lawson rides his new MASH build for the first time, & I bought a piñata for the MASH Cino de Mayo swap meet. Malls are a thing of the past, but the good vibes live on. Until next time.
This sewer vent is always going off and recently I was lucky enough to catch it at just the right time of day that it was the only thing illuminated on that side of the block. I immediately pulled over, put my bike in it (regrettably) and caught these photos. It oxidized my wheels in this weird way and now they’re only kinda black, mostly gray and super water spotty. It’s kinda rad, I’ve had these wheels for forever.
Concrete looks its best in black & white. I’ve been dreaming of this shot of Gus (above on the right) for a while now and I’m glad we were finally able to get it. There’s a similar shot of Kameren Boun soaring over San Francisco in the latest issue of LOOP Magazine. Pick one up if you have a chance, I always find one at the book store in Japan town. Also another important note, no birds were harmed in the shooting of these photos. I repeat Jack did not harm any birds in the process of these skids. Alright, that’s enough for now, more photos below. We’ll catch you next time.

Earlier this year I had a few films playing at the Bicycle Film Festival, so I flew out to NYC to take part in the festivities. I was blessed enough to stay at both Terry B & JP Bevins houses while I was there. Shout out to Ed Wonka and JP for helping me shoot this little video, and the homie Jeff Osborn for making the soundtrack.
Johnathan Ball came by the house just before the sun went down, so we went out and filmed for an hour. Or however long the sun would let us. Either way, we hope you enjoy this three and a half minute video we filmed in under an hour. Check out more music I’ve been making and keep your eyes peeled for Power Hour V2 featuring just JBALL on his FGFS setup at this same spot.
Song: SLUMWORM – I’m throwing a house party and everyone is invited

With the year coming to a close, I just wanted to take a second to take a step back and honor some of the amazing work that’s come out this year. I compiled a quick top ten of some of the videos that stood out to me and were truly memorable. Really looking forward to seeing what the coming decade has in store. Have fun, watch these, then go ride jah bike. ✌️
