FIXED GEAR SF – ANDY SPARKS

January 21, 2020

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.

WHEEL TALK – DEAD MALLS

January 16, 2020

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.

FIXED GEAR SF – CONCRETE AROUND EVERY CORNER

January 14, 2020

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.

FIXED GEAR LA – SLUMWORM + JBALL (POWER HOUR)

January 9, 2020

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
Date: December 14th 2019

FIXED GEAR SF – THURSDAY NIGHT RIDES

December 23, 2019

PKT or better known as “Thursday Night Rides” pop off every week during the summer here in San Francisco. Everyone links up at Bike Kitchen in the Mission and embarks on a different city loop every week. I caught one of them and brought my camera along for the ride. It was nice to only have to carry a single camera for a change. Usually I’m geared up with the full kit, but for this I decided to drop everything off at home and keep it light. Shout out to Patrick Fixie King & Phixed Bikes for organizing so many meetups in the Bay Area. Y’all are really doing great working bringing the community together.
