Pulled this photo of Matt Rice’s PFIX build from his Flickr. This is definitely the cleanest PFIX build I’ve seen yet, especially considering it’s a Size : Large frame. Super fresh w/ those gum wall tires, and silver chain. For those of you who don’t know, Matt Rice runs Deal With It SF. He rides blades, Fixed Freestyle, and holds it down mad well w/ a Kendama. Head over to his blog and check his shit out.
I was in Wyoming for the Holidays, and I brought along w/ me my bike. Spent some time riding around in what surprisingly little snow there was this year. I even had the chance to ride the new Green River Bike Park which was a park full of snow covered dirt jumps, and ladder runs stretching around its perimeters.
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. Write us a comment in our post explaining why you have to have it. Short & sweet, long & thoughtful, write whatever it takes to get your message across, and this bike between your legs. Submissions end January 31st, and a winner will be chosen February 1st. Good luck, & we can’t wait to hear what you have to say.
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.
We just put together & branded our first run of Wheel Talk T-Shirts, just in time for the Holidays. They run $25 a piece + shipping & handling, and come folded + poly bagged w/ custom sizing labels. Making them Wheel Talk Brand Tees not some re-branded Fruit of the Loom bullshit.They’re available in White On Black & Teal On White. Sizes are limited, so get em’ while they’re hot.
iMiNUSD recently setup an official webstore on their site, making it easier than ever before to order your shit online. The new interface looks so much more official, and made it easier to browse their store unlike ever before. While you’re there, check out their new RIDERS page. The IMD team is starting to look pretty stacked.
A few weeks back I saw a Specialized PFIX in the wild for the 1st time. It belonged to 14year old San Jose native Marco Villaseñor. I caught this photo of him on the way home from the SF Bike Expo on Saturday. I can’t tell you how stoked I am to see other kids shredding on the bike. That’s what the PFIX is all about, making it affordable so that more people can get in on this & try it out, without being held back by funds.
This is the 1st picture I’ve seen of the SF Bike Expo All Fixed Comp. It’s a family event bringing together some of the best Fixed Freestyle riders from all over California. Everyone had a blast trying to figure out how they were going to ride the back yard wrestling match of a course. Consisting of primarily dirt jumps mixed in w/ wood ramps & a single grind-able rail fitted in between a kicker gap. Photo Credit : LDG Mike
CHROME just recently announced that they’re doing a video contest for the best minute of fixed freestyle footage. The winner will receive a fatty hook up on chrome products, shoes, bags, shirts, etc. Chrome’s very own, Ed Wonka will pick the winner, and all submissions are due by November 28th. So if you’re thinking about entering or want some free shit, now is your chance. Check out the Chrome site for upload information, and a list of the prizes.
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
