“STRANGERS” A FIXED GEAR FILM FOR CHARI & CO.

June 28, 2019

We are strangers to ourselves. Sometimes when I look back at the videos we’ve made there’s a weird disconnect. Even though we were there every step of the way while making it, it’s still a strange out of body experience to watch yourself. Mike Schmitt really did a number on cutting this one together. After picking up an old JVC VHS camera, Mike transcoded the footage we shot onto a S-VHS tape, then recaptured it and edited this video. It really brings together all the clips considering they came from 3 different cameras.

Here’s a photo collage Mike put together using some of the photos I shot. I really like the process photos on the top right and the integration of video clips into the slides. (Click here to see the post in motion) Shout out to Chari & Co. for lacing it up with the sweet gear (Some of which Mike did the graphics for) and giving us a reason to get out and make something.

FIXED GEAR BIKE CHECK – JAKE LANICH’S MASH AC1

June 25, 2019

Jake Lanich loves to keep it fixie and is always running the lightest parts on his bikes. In this episode, Jake walks us through his MASH AC1 build in SF’s financial district. A prime backdrop. Especially when the sun is reflecting off the glass buildings at the end of the day. I’m pretty sure it’s decided that those backwards pedaling super sliders are Jake’s signature trick. Anyways, we can’t pump up Jake enough, he’s one funny dude, and an even better friend to ride with. Press Play and check out a full parts breakdown below.

LA TRACKLOCROSS 2019 RACE NO.2

May 29, 2019

Things are really starting to take flight for the Tracklocross community. It’s been rad to watch everyone come together and organize these races on a seemingly global level. With branches popping up all over the world the vibes are only getting stronger and the momentum is growing.

The second race of the season happened over the weekend here in Los Angeles and this time it was on a contained course. Making it easier to run around and shoot photos at different parts of the track. Shout out to everyone who helps organize these events and facilitate all the moving pieces. It’s because of people like you that we get to show up, kick back, crack cans and enjoy the good times. Check out more photos below, and we’ll see you at the next one.

MISSION CRIT 6 – SAN FRANCISCO 2019

April 23, 2019

Mission Crit popped off this year in San Francisco and I’m still outta breath from it. Hundreds of people flocked to the streets to endure some seriously heavy winds and a day full of racing. James Grady deserves an award for the hard work he puts into this event year after year. We wouldn’t have these good times if it wasn’t for his dedication to the community and love for the scene. Respect and thank you everyone else who helped out, volunteered, or lifted a finger to make this happen. We appreciate everything you do.

We through more high fives than we could count and screamed “FAAASTER” at just about everyone who raced. That being said, we’re going to let words take a back seat from here and let the photos do the talking. Ride fast, take chances, and have fun. We’ll catch you later.

AP reached out to me on Instagram earlier this week and wanted to meet up to ride.

We grabbed some $5 Chinese food, found a place to eat it, then shot some photos and filmed a one day video that will come out next Wednesday (4.17.19). Mark your calendars and until then enjoy this photo set.

DEVIN TOLMAN – BRING BACK TRICK TRACK

April 10, 2019

Devin Tolman is your Portland connect if you’re ever looking for somebody to ride bikes and shoot photos with. He’s an avid photographer himself and is an excellent person to have around when it comes to camera questions & conversations. It’s always good having another set of eyes on deck.

Devin is one of the few homies I know who is runs a 650 up front (for obvious reasons) and has a true Tarck bike. His Thrasher is one of those iconic builds that really takes me back to 2009, before 26″ became a thing and everyone was still focused on keo tricks. It’s awesome to see things come full circle as another fixie resurgence begins to take shape and more people start building up 700c setups designed for tricks. Bring back trick track.

FIXED GEAR DASH CAM – NYC APRIL 2018

April 5, 2019

NYC – Broadway to Williamsburg Bridge. This was filmed days after I got a GoPro / Gimbal setup and was one of the first times playing with it. I haven’t used the chest mount since, but after chopping this together, I think I’m going to have to. The camera height dropped midway, but hey we’re here to play. // 04.24.18
