2019 Demo Reel – MMXIX Twenty nineteen was a great year for us. We traveled about the cabin, making films in New York, Germany, Los Angeles, Portland, and of course San Francisco. 3 of which were featured at the Bicycle Film Festival that year. We shook each other’s hands, embraced one another, got together in mass, and had our share of laughs. We climbed hills, dodged rain drops, rode fast, and watched time pass by. Thank you all for being here on this journey through life and I look forward to making more memories together.
Right before I left Los Angeles I started riding with JBALL, Oscar & Marco a lot. It was great having them around to get me back into riding my FGFS bike again. Here’s a montage of the 4 of us that could better be summarized as a video of JBALL with us making quick guest appearances along the way. Thanks for being here, reading this and joining us on this journey through life. We appreciate you.
FIXED GEAR FREESTYLE. Also known as FGFS. Maybe you’ve heard of it, maybe you haven’t. Maybe you even had one or still have one and already know what I’m talking about. Either way, it’s still here and we’re still having just as much fun on it as we always have.
It’s really cool to see how strong of friends we’ve all become and remained over the last decade. The scene out here has been meeting up every Saturday for a session in either SF or Oakland. They’ve been boarding everything up in San Francisco and I took that opportunity to use some of the painted plywood to shoot everybody’s FGFS Build.
There’s a lineup of 10 different setups in this post, take a look and let us know in the comment which one you like best. If you could keep one bike, which one would it be?

We’re back at it with another episode of “The Regular Show” here in San Francisco. This time the team rides 3rd & Army along with some other spots in the neighborhood. We burnt some rubber and had some laughs while hanging out on another smoggy day in California. This one speaks for itself, so press play and we’ll see you next time on Wheel Talk.
Tomorrow morning we’re dropping the video from this day so I figured I’d share some photos prior to its release. Shout out to all the homies here in San Francisco who have been a pillar of strength and support for both me and each other over the years. I can’t imagine where we’d be if it wasn’t for these bikes we ride and the good times we have because of it. It’s truly a cornerstone to which this house was built.
The squad continues to grow and so does our group chat which blows up 70% of the day. Haha. It’s a beautiful thing. Anthony Combs came out and brought with him his yellow Grime G.O.A.T build which is a staple in the FGFS frame lineage and a true blast from the past. Joshua Boothby came out of retirement and his riding makes it look like he never left. Josh Silva did donuts and jumped over his car at one point. Jimmy Watcha came through with the quick-hitting combos at 3rd & Army. And Andy Sparks laid down some of his signature moves in his even more signature attire. Anyways, keep your eyes peeled for the video release and we’ll catch you next time. Be good.

We’re here for a good time, not a long time. Nobody knows how much time we get on this earth, so take advantage and appreciate every moment of it. Spend it wisely. Better yet, spend it with friends. Help each other grow and inspire others to live a life full of joy. I’ve been making posts of the photos from this day and now it has me stoked to assemble the video. Major thanks to everyone for coming out, helping out, and always being a pleasure to be around. Y’all the real MVP’s.

Jake Lanich & Daniel Mejia came down to LA to ride bikes for the weekend, so we did what any tourists would… We hit the beach, caught a sunburn and checked out the daily happenings along Venice & Santa Monica.
After Dash 4 The Cash was over I ran home, grabbed my FGFS build, changed up my camera setup and rode with the boys in the Financial District. We’ve been meeting up every Saturday for a day session and it’s been great to see so many familiar faces back on 2 wheels. Press play, enjoy and we’ll see you soon. I love San Francisco.
