Midwest Mayhem 3 – Fixies Up Your Ass
Gus did a sick job on the flier! I know Clappé will definitely be out there holding it down. Check out the Midwest Mayhem site for future updates.
It will be held in Milwaukee, WI on June 9th. The trick jam will be held after hours at 4 Seasons skate park with the pre-jam hangout/beers/root beers/awesome new video premiere(s) at the Hi-Hat Garage (the bar that held the first MWM).
Sol Smith on BB17
Sol Smith from London is officially on Breakbrake now and heres his first bike check. I like that he spraypainted his bike without taking anything off it. Silversurfer style
Im also real excited to see him on a negative bb 29er, I know he’ll love it. check the details at NINJACATS
Palms Cycle Fixed Gear Trick Team 2012
This one is full of bangers from the Palms Cycle crew. Mike Chacon and Jamil Gray appear with other talented riders Rory Mcdermott, Gabe Winwar, Marco Marquez, Nick Agnew, Jonah Kessel. These kids are killing it down in L.A.! I hope to see this lot at the Red Bull Ride & Style next week!
SHREDWELL TWO PROMO
Sick one from our wheeler & dealer GRIME homies!
Prolly is Not Probably Raidô Straps and tee
Prolly hit us up to let us know that the Raidô Hold Fast straps and Raidô Viking tee are up for sale on the PiNP webstore. The print on the straps/tee look real nice and the stash pocket will surely come in handy. Just in time for 4.20.
More details at Prolly is Not Probably.

Girl on my bike
My roommate KJ snapped this after borrowing my bike for a project. I wouldn’t mind seeing more girls on FGFS bikes!
Future Tense photos by Josh Pitney
Josh was taking a ton of photos throughout the night. He sent them my way to post up.
Check the whole set over at the Future Tense flickr group.
Future Tense coverage at NAMSAYIN
Our pals at Namsayin came out to the event, and posted a nice photo series on their blog. Go check it!
Future Tense April 2012 – Video
Future Tense was a blast on Friday and here is an absolutely astounding video of all the excitement that went down throughout the course of the event. If you weren’t able to make it then hopefully this video will give you a glimpse into what went down.
Thank you to everyone who made it! We had 80+ people in attendance and amazing weather. Tyler Johnson jumped over a Red Bull car and through fire. He definitely kept people entertained. Congrats to Felix for winning the sprints which earned him a Contour ROAM camera.
Shout out to all of the creatives involved with the making of this video. It is better than I could’ve possibly expected (or done myself). Thank you!

Tree 4130 Sprocket Fail
Daood posted this photo of a mangled tree sprocket. I have been interested in seeing how some of these solid steel sprockets perform, and this has been the first I’ve seen of the Tree 4130 sprocket failing. Daood is a grown-ass-man so I wouldn’t be too concerned if you’re an average sized rider and want to rock one of these guys.
Red Bull Ride & Style
Coming up in just a couple of weeks on April 28th. Be in San Francisco for the biggest fixed gear event the West coast will see this year.
Jonah Kessel for SADIO
So sick to see the young ones come up and kill it. I suspect there will be much more from Johah in the years to come. Great video work by Matt Reyes. Tykes on bikes!
FOAD – Bad Kids
Loving these vids by the FOAD crew! Keep it up!

FUTURE TENSE TODAY!
Today is a really exciting day because it will be host to one of the biggest Future Tense events of the year. The bunch of rad people worked really hard preparing for this event and I want to thank all of those who pitched in! For those who want to do the group ride from Cal Anderson to the event, please be ready to roll at 6:30 sharp. Otherwise meet at 65th and Ravenna. The trick demo (feat. Tyler Johnson & the ZLOG Crew) will be held at 7:00, and ramps will be ready for use around 5:00 for those freestylers who want to hit them up early. Those riders of a faster pace, there will be head-to-head sprints going down as well as a mini-crit (registration 7:30). A Contour ROAM camera will be atop the prize pile. Later in the night we will be raffling off a 727 Track frame from Leader bikes, as well as a number of other goodies from FSA, POW Gloves, Casual Industrees, Flying Coffin, Coal Headwear, Gravity, Stay Gold Straps, and also a wheel build by Seattle’s most celebrated bicycle mechanic Tre Wideman. Tickets will be $2 so bring some extra cash. To end the night we will be heading to the Kraken Bar and Lounge for some live music by Junk Drawer Vibrator & Lindseys benefiting the Seattle N.A.C.C.C.’s (more info).
Check out the Future Tense event page for more details.
Jamil Gray Fixed Gear Tricks April 2012
I wasn’t expecting this edit from Jamil, but I am sure glad that Mike released it. Filled with fluid riding as you’d expect from Mr. Gray of The Established.
LA Brakeless welcomes Charles
This kid has a really nice style about him. Thanks to L.A.B. for sending this one my way.
Pay Homage: Tanner Monmaney
Tanner was killing it before anyone was even paying attention to BMX tricks on fixed gear bikes. His style definitely set a precedent for things to come. I still go back and watch his old videos and find stuff that surprises me. Aloha Fixed and Tanner put Hawaii on the fixed gear map, so if you aren’t familiar with your history here is a lesson for you.
Youngin’ B-Sides
Wall ride tire grab!
Featuring – Elliot Milner, Omar Sebai, Marco Marquez, Charles LJ, Jonah Kessel, Gabe Winawer, and Johnathan Ball.
Thanks for sending it my way Omar!
