FIXED GEAR PORTLAND – TYLER JOHNSON CAME TO TOWN

March 25, 2020

Tyler Johnson is one of the Fixie Founding Fathers and pioneered a lot of tricks that were never before done on a fixed gear drive train. If you know, you know, and if you don’t, get to know your FGFS history. There’s been a bunch of great re-uploads on “Fixed Gear Archive” I highly recommend you browse through it when you have some time.

Anyways, here are a bunch of photos I took during the filming of the latest Wheel Talk video entitled “Suffering”. I miss how perfectly gloomy Portland was all the time. It made for some nice overcast light on the days that things were dry. This was a fun day, and I’m glad TJ came to town to collaborate and capture these moments together. Until next time everyone.

FIXED GEAR PORTLAND – FREE PARKING PHOTOS

November 6, 2019

We’re always looking for a new roof to ride on and lucky for us Portland’s downtown is packed full of empty parking garages. All of which have an elevator that takes you straight to the top. Ideal for most hang out situations, we highly recommend you check your local listings and find a parking structure near you. Just because it’s built for cars doesn’t mean we can’t have our fun. Check out more photos as well as the video from this day below. As always shout out to JEF for lacing us up with the soundtrack, which is listed down there as well.

FIXED GEAR PORTLAND – MUSGUARD TO THE RESCUE

October 27, 2019

Alright, So I wrote and took these images back when we still lived in Portland a couple years ago. I can already feel the seasons changing again and you might as well start thinking about your fender game. I still stand behind every word of what’s written below and never travel anywhere without a set of Musguards in my bag. You never know when the it’s gunna rain.
–
“With winter right around the corner, Musguard send over some of their fenders to help keep us dry this season. It’s about to start getting real wet here in the Pacific North-West as we ramp up to another 9 months of rain. Here are some photos of my setup from last year as things were starting to clear up. Musguard offers the best, and I really mean “THE BEST” fender system/solution out there. They roll up nice and are easy to keep with you everywhere you go. They basically live on my bike or in my bag 9 months out of the year. I highly recommend them to anybody with a track bike looking for fenders. You won’t be disappointed.”

FGFS – JAOA DANAIKRIT “PORTLAND’S WEIRD”

July 30, 2019

Everything is better with friends and Jaoa Danaikrit is one of my closest homies. He’s like a brother to me and basically lived in Portland as long as we did. He’s a genuine force of positivity and an absolute pleasure to be around. We were able to create a handful of videos together while he was here, but this might be our favorite creation yet. I’ll stop talking now, press play, enjoy and as always, shout out to Jeff Osborn for the soundtrack.

FGFS PDX – JAOA DANAIKRIT

July 29, 2019

Tomorrow morning we’re dropping a new video of Jaoa Danaikrit, and it’s gunna be a good one. In light of that, we spent some time sorting through photos from our various film missions and assembled some of our favorites. I was broke off during our last Summer in Portland, so Jaoa stepped in to pick up the slack and stack clips for the both of us. He’s not the hero we need, he’s the hero we deserve. Stay tuned, we’ll be premiering the new video at 8AM (PST).

BROKEN CLAVICLE CLUB

July 9, 2019

I don’t usually make these types of videos, but with my recent injury / move from Portland, I finally had enough of a reason to shoot something like this. It feels like I’m watching home movies. Perhaps I’ll make more of these for personal / historical reasons. I’m still healing from more than just a broken shoulder but wanted to take a second to give a major shout out to Jaynie, Ernie & Jeff for always helping me keep things positive. You’re the best.

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.

FGFS PDX – TADASHI NAKAMURA PHOTOS

December 28, 2018

We had a lot of fun shooting “Complete the Circle” when Tadashi Nakamura was in Portland. He’s become a really close friend over the years and this is now the second time he’s traveled from Japan to ride bikes with us in the States. Those of you who have ridden FGFS already know how difficult it can be and Tadashi has clearly been doing this for a while. He had an easy time hopping on every handrail we came across. Portland has some great alleyways and often times we’ll take the road less traveled just to mix things up a bit. Check out more photos below and watch the “Tadashi VIDEO” if you haven’t already. Until next time.
