The Revival World Premiere

The Revival world premiere took place on Sunday night and it couldn't have gone any better. We had a huge turnout in Vancouver and some great friends came up from Seattle to join in the festivities. We had gold sprints prior to the screening and then Congress tore the house down to close out the night. I would just like to thank everyone for attending the screening, we couldn't have been happier with how things went. Thank you all.

The Hell Track Footdown Drome!!!

Here's a video of the first round of the Hell Track Footdown Drome! If you watch all the way through you'll see myself (Tom Briggs, in the plaid shirt with the hood up) vs. Swoo (plaid shirt without the hood) battling it out for the win. Swoo ended up walking away with this round but it was Andrew Flowers in the end who took the footdown drome crown for the evening and a new set of Hold Fast straps.

Hell Track Re-Cap

Hell Track from jose o on Vimeo.

Saturday night was one of the greatest bike events I've ever been to. Hell Track went off as a huge success with tons of people coming out, great races, sweet bails, the most epic game of footdown you've ever seen and some male nudity courtesy of our friend and member of the Revival crew, Toby Spunt. Hell Track was the brain child of Tom Mosher and for as long as I can remember he's been talking about doing this and trying to bring the Toronto fixed gear scene closer together and I can honestly say he succeeded way beyond any expectations I had. I don't have to results in front of me but Nick took home first place in the school sprints, landing himself with a new set of Velocity wheels, way to go dude! Our great buddy Swoo took home first in the best trick comp and grabbed himself a brand new Volume Fu Manchu Fork (Swoo Manchu is definitely his new nickname). Andrew Flowers was the man left standing, or riding that is in the footdown drome (100 men enter, one man leaves!(You had to be there)).All and all it was probably the best bike event in Toronto history from most peoples account and certainly rivaled any other city I've been to, including Vancouver, New York and Seattle.It's great to see a scene this large coming together and really just having a blast. Again a great job by Tom Mosher for throwing this event, it really was worth the wait.Video by Jose O

Hell Track!!!

Hell Track is finally here. Tom Mosher has been talking about this for about as long as I can remember and it's going to be awesome, with races, a best trick comps and the infamous foot down drome! If you're anywhere near Toronto on the 24th I suggest you make it out to this event, because it's going to be a blast. I personally can't wait.

I'd also like to apologize for the lack of posting around here lately. I've been crazy busy with filming for The Revival and just haven't had time to sit down and put something up on the blog. I will have a full re-cap of the Toronto filming coming in the next couple of days so keep your eyes peeled for that.
