Joe “My Name Isn’t Couch” Mckeag showed up prepared for the Ride & Style with an arsenal of huge tricks. His truckdriver was the first one I’ve seen landed in a fixed gear competition, and his 540 was a real showstopper. He is easily one of the best young riders out there, and will surely be a favorite to watch in future competitions.
You gotta hand it to Josh Boothby, he sure is a showman. He got the crowd hyped and fed off their energy the whole day through. His backflips were dialed and they solidified his win despite loads of stiff competition. Congrats Boothby!
Tyler took second at the Red Bull Ride & Style event and I am super stoked for him considering the intense level of competition that he faced. Tyler’s pedal feeble to 180 bar was, without a doubt, one of the most exciting tricks of the day. It is especially awesome if you know that it was the very first time that he had attempted the trick, let alone land it first try! Great work Tyler!
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.
JD has joined the SE bikes ranks and is shredding on the Showtime frame. Good to see this dude is getting some coverage cause he kills it.

I decided to race in the Stairmaster 6000 alleycat on Saturday and took photos along the way. Congrats to Mike Duggan who took home the 1st place Mr. Goldencalves trophy!
The next race is on April 20th! 420 race Come out!
The race consisted of 12 checkpoints and each one was at a gigantic stair set. Participants needed to keep track of each step the went up or down along the way to get the maximum amount of points.


A comic convention was in town and I ran across some magical babes. Bonus points! 

Here is a pretty dope setup that one of our readers submitted. I want to see what it looks like with the seatpost slammed for tricks.

Some of the original Fast Friday homies were out for Kia’s birthday a few weeks ago. Before I blacked out I made someone take a picture of us. Brings back quite the flood of memories with this bunch. Jon Quon (pictured left) sent me a link to his photostream from December of 2006, which might have been one of the first Fast Friday events altogether.
Chris Clappé and I were riding this new spot that he found when lurkin‘. After I filmed some clips of him, he snagged up my camera and grabbed these shots. What you can’t really gather from the photos, is that the cement block teeters up and down when you hop on. So fun!

The Ninjacat himself Sol Smith for Spike parts. One of my favorite tricks!

Chrissie White is a excellent young photographer from the Northwest. We worked together on a style shoot for Moksha and the photos turned out so good that I asked her to shoot me for Fixed Mag issue 10. This is one of the photos from that shoot.

These pictures popped up on Mexico Fixed and I had to repost. I have been reminiscing of old bikes lately. I love pursuit bikes, but the last year has been all fixed freestyle as far as riding goes (trying to keep up with the youngins). I definitely need to get rolling on one again.

Remember this guy?

All you have to do is ‘like’ the page and post the pic. I will choose the winner on Friday.
Corey San Agustin is in Austin, Texas because he got sick of that awful weather in Long Beach. Matt, Zane and Gus should be following suit. Prolly promises a “slew” of coverage. So keep an eye on the bearded viking for more. Hopefully we will see some video too cause Corey shreds.
Caught this pic over at Stuttgart fixed. A fender could’ve come in handy, but a muddy skunk stripe is a good look.
