Redbull Mini Drome London

I saw these photos up on the Tokyo Fixed Gear flickr page of the recent Mini Drome event in London. That thing looks like a blast!

NUCULT – PEGLESS JAM 5

Here is a vid of the recent Paris comp that NUCULT hosted. You might recognize some of the same things from the Ninjas in Paris edit, but from a different perspective. Good stuff all around, but what is up with all of the peg stuff? Isn’t it supposed to be sans pegs?


NACCC Launch Alleycat winner

Congrats to Christian Coomer (of PedalRoom fame) who took first in the Alleycat on Friday. Despite rain and the fire department threatening to shut down the after party, I would say it was an overall success. 15 racers made it out including the infamous Craig Etheridge (who took 3rd). Future Tense also popped off during the race, which was a checkpoint where we forced each person to “do a trick”.

The next NACCC benefit race is March 31st and involves lots of stairs. Come out and show your support! Check the facebook event page here.

Keep up with all of the happenings at the SEA NACCC website.

Fixed Days – Eurobike 2012

Traffic Distribution and Soundtrack Paris are putting together an event series during Eurobike 2012. This would be a good time to start making travel plans!

In line with the world’s biggest bicycle trade show EUROBIKE (yes, it is 6 times bigger than Interbike) we are happy to invite you aswell to one of europeans biggest event dedicated to the fixed wheel.

From the 29th of August until the 2nd of September the FIXED DAYS 2012 will offer various actions you could perfectly combine with your bike-interest by visiting the huge bicycle exhibition – or just sweeten your holiday at the biggest lake of europe submontane of the alps which is really more than worth to visit and ride.

2012 we enhanced our last years programm. Beside the spectacular 200m sprint race on the trade show’s area, and the Fixed Gear Freestyle contest (both powered by Red Bull) in the closeby village of Immenstaad we have this year much more to offer: a Hexagram race for those who are fast and persistent, the explosive Goldsprint that some attended already last year, a Movie Screening including a crew-clip contest and a lot of smaller happenings.
And last but not least we decided to invite our (former fixed and now) freewheelers aswell and so we will have a big Polo-Tournament during the days.

In combination with taking a look onto all the exhibited upcoming bikes, latest parts and its framework programm (like the dirt-MTB contest or the famous Lakejump) at EUROBIKE the FIXED DAYS 2012 event is a must and a nice break from office for every bike lover.

Step to each section to experience more about the single events of the FIXED DAYS 2012 and don’t forget to register.

If you have any questions regarding accomodation, contest-rules or whatever – hit us an email to contact@fixed-days.com

Please not that the FIXED DAYS 2012 is an unommercial event, nobody is making any profit out of it – it is all happening “just” for the love of the fixed ride. Thanks to all involved crews that help to organise each single-event.
See you at the Lake!

Hip Happenings in Seattle this Weekend

There are a lot of exciting things happening this week in the Emerald City.

FRIDAY: First up us our monthly fixed gear event Future Tense is on Friday. Over the past year it has steadily become more of a freestyle bike hang out session and less of a competition series. This month we are sharing the night with two other big happenings on Capitol Hill, the second being the launch party and alleycat to benefit the 2013 North American Cycle Courier Championships in Seattle that we here at ZLOG have been helping with alongside a rag-tag bunch of Seattle’s finest bike messengers. Also on Friday, the new Seattle skate shop Alive and Well will be hosing a grand opening party at HG Lodge featuring Dom Kennedy, be sure to hit that up if can.

Saturday: The Seattle Bike Expo is happening, although I wasn’t able to find a flier, there is a facebook event posted here with all of the info. Go Means Go will be hosting the after party in Freemont later that night, which should be a blast.

Here is a video submitted today of the Royal HC trick competition in Long Beach, California. Amateur riders giving it their all. Looked like a good turnout!


Future Tense Crew

We had a good crew last month even though it was raining. The fixed-gear event has slowly morphed into a fixed freestyle bike gang of sorts.

Goodbye Goods!

Goods has been an essential part of the Seattle street wear and skate culture for almost a decade and it has come time to close the doors. It was the first place I heard about some of my favorite brands like Flying Coffin and Actual Pain. In fact, my first ever tee that I bought there was a Flying Coffin x Actual Pain collaboration. Head over this weekend to snag some deals and say goodbye to one of the best shops Seattle’s ever seen.


Red Bull Ride & Style 2012?

Mike Chacon Posted up his invite to the 2nd Red Bull event based around fixed gear riding. Last years event was major and it really put fixed gear freestylers and racers under the spotlight. April 28th is the day for round two so book your tickets and start training!

Photos and videos from last years event can be found over at RedBull.
