FIXED GEAR – MAXED OUT IN OAKLAND

January 8, 2024

Wow, here we are, blog post number 954. We’ve come a long way and it feels good to be back in here sharing photos for all of you. I’m not even entirely sure if people still read and follow blogs, but I’ve always found the Wheel Talk website as a useful resource when it comes to pulling up images at a moment’s notice. All that being said, let’s get to the reason why we’re here. MAXFXD came to the Bay Area, so we made sure his trip was complete with a trip over to Oakland so that he could see more than just San Francisco. SF is great, don’t get me wrong, but it doesn’t have the same textural quality that Oakland carries. I’ll be sharing a video edit from this day tomorrow, so stay tuned, and keep your eyes peeled for that coming out on my YouTube channel.

WHEELIE BOYS – JANUARY 3RD OAKLAND RIDE OUT

July 8, 2020

All the usual stops. We took Jake 100, Isa, Grady, JN and a bunch of the other homies on a tour of downtown Oakland back in January. It’s always good having out of town energy come to a place you’ve been time and time again. Helps keep it fresh. I can’t imagine how many times Andy has ridden bikes at Dragon Park. It’s easily one of the best ledge spots around, you just don’t want to fall, but that’s like most cities I imagine. The ground isn’t always the cleanest place to be. Anyways, check out more photos below and peep the video from this day to see everything in motion. It’s always better that way. One more quick note… I love shooting these no foot wheelie kicks at the camera with Jake 100.

WHEELIE RIDE OUT – OAKLAND DAZE (FT. JAKE 100, JAKOB SANTOS & FRIENDS)

July 5, 2020

Oakland California January 3rd 2020. I took the subway from San Francisco to Oakland with Jake 100, Isa, CBreezy, JN & Grady to ride bikes in the East Bay. Jakob Santos, Andy Sparks and a bunch of the usual suspects met up with us for a day wheelies around Downtown. We pulled over at some of our favorite spots around Lake Merritt before ending up at Jack London Square for the Sunset. I won’t waste too much time with words on this one, so stop listening to me immediately and press play already. Oh yeah, I quickly whipped up the soundtrack for this one too.

OAKLAND FAMILY PORTRAIT

FGFS_WheelTalk_OaklandCA_Squad2015A couple weeks ago we all met up in Oakland to hang out and cruise around the East Bay. We spent most of the day stacking clips at Dragon Park, before we all had our fill and ventured elsewhere in search of a change of scenery. In that search, I stopped the caravan and pulled everybody aside to take this photo. So much of our efforts are spent filming that we often times forget to shoot any photos. I figured we might as well get one, and you’re looking at it. Left to Right – Matt Reyes, Ramon Antonio III, Ian Walker, Mike Schmitt, Andy Sparks

DEW SIPPAWIT | OAKLAND 2014

June 29, 2014


Dew Sippawit has been staying at our pad here in the Bay Area and whoever else has a couch fit to surf. We’ve been doing a lot more riding on the East Bay this year and have discovered a whole new array of spots in our own backyard. Be on the lookout for photos and videos coming form their stay in the states. Until then check out this photo that Jaoa shot of dew posted up next to his SKYLMT in Oakland’s China Town.
