Last night I had a chance to sit down and interview the man who got me into riding fixed gear, and taught me the basics. Colin, aka “Gonzo” has been a good friend of mine for a few years now, and is the one person who inspired me to ride the most. I caught this photo of him sliding a Luc-e grind on this steep downhill ledge in SF.
I recently had a bunch of Wheel Talk Stickers made to slap around, hand out, and sell online. The image above is just of the sticker backings check out more photos HERE. Head over to our webstore to pick up some Stickers (3 for $2) and Shirts ($20 a pop). Enter the discount code “REALTALK” to get an additional 15% off all shirts.
This Week, I created a bunch of Wheel Talk Desktops backgrounds for your viewing pleasure. Click the image to get the high res file for your computer, or read more to check out some of the other versions. Lemme know what you think. If there’s a positive enough reaction, then I’ll make some more in the near future.
Wheel Talk + Specialized are joining forces, and giving away a size Small PFIX for the new year. If you’ve been dying to get your hands on this bike, then now is your chance.

We recently did a collaboration w/ our clothing sponsor, Breezy Excursion. This new limited edition “REAL TALK” Tee is available exclusively on their webstore, so head over there and get em’ while they last. It’s going to be a damn good year.
Ed just put the new SADIO TEAM EDIT up on THE GRIME. There is some pretty heavy tricks in here w/ a more up lifting track to lighten the mood. I always love seeing collab edits. So much stronger as a whole.
Since we’re on the subject of “liking” pages, go ahead and “like” the WT page as well. We took this photo a while ago for a mag, but I think I’ve been sitting on it long enough and it’s about time people see a proper family photo. Photo Credit : Wheel Talk Road
Here’s a bunch of clips I’ve had stacked up of JeffyD over the past few months. One thing is for sure he kills it riding dirt, and looks stupid comfy floating through the air. I think this video & it’s thumbnail are proof of that. Most of this was filmed in between injuries. Peep out JeffyD, the million dollar man riding strapped w/ a shoulder brace, back tape, & an ankle support during the filming of most of these clips. #beastmode
