July Future Tense

Future Tense happened in Seattle last Friday and it looks like the action was awesome. We here at Skitch helped sponsor this months event and have to thank Zach for throwing such an outstanding event; we wish we could have been there. Here are a few photos from the Future Tense Flickr Pool.

Wonka and Puckett BFF Edit

Chris Wielk put together an edit of our boy Wonka shredding with Eric Puckett in Queens during the Bicycle Film Fest in NYC. The riding is great but I think they should have renamed the edit to "Bunnyhop Barspin Tutorial." These two have that trick so dialed that they can throw it over anything it seems.

Peel Sessions in the New York Times

Peel Sessions got a write up in the New York Times. Our boys Torey and Wonka are both present in the Audio Slideshow and the Article is also a great read. I have got to give huge props to John Prolly for pushing this sport so far. It's sites like his and personality like his that is really defining our sport and making sure that fixed gear freestyle is seen in a good light by both the fixed gear community as well as the general public. Great job John!

Wonka X Peel Sessions X Andrew Temkin

It looks like Wonka had a good time at this weeks Peel Sessions in Brooklyn New York. Thankfully Andrew Temkin was there to capture some of the action. Wonka I think has the biggest boost of anyone on a fixed gear, unbelievable.

No Cassettes

Fonseca Films has finished up the No Cassettes video and it looks awesome! You can head over to their store and pre-order your copy today. The video features a whole cast of amazing riders and includes Skitch team rider Tom Mosher. This is the only place to see Mosher slide Hub Hideout in San Francisco and if that isn't enough reason to buy this dvd I don't know what is. Get your copy today!

Tyler Johnson's Bike Check or Wreck?

Wayne just sent me a link to this video of Tyler Johnson going through all the parts he's busted while riding. I'm amazed that frame even lasted as long as it did. Tyler can be seen in our upcoming Revival video.

Seattle Summer

Zach put together an edit for the Zlog Blog and it looks awesome. All these dudes will be appearing in the Revival video that we are currently working on. The west coast is always doing it up with style.

New Hfwido Web Video

Torey has been working on this web edit for a while now and it has some serious bangers in it. Very very impressive. Some of these lines are so technical while others are just burly. The 9 stair gap at the Brooklyn Banks is unbelievable. Incredible job Torey. You can see Torey in the upcoming Revival video as well as Death Pedal 2.

Torey's Ghetto Skitch Ad

Torey is working on a web edit for us at the moment and this is one of his new tricks. Lovin' it Torey!

Sorry for the late post, I was away from a computer all yesterday.

Welcome To The Team Wonka

We would like to announce that we have a new team rider here at Skitch and I'm sure most of you already know all about him. Wonka is currently pushing the sport of fixed gear riding to new and uncharted levels. You can barely look at a fixed gear website without finding pictures and videos of the kid plastered everywhere. One of the hardest and most aggressive riders out there, it is a privilege to have him on board to join the rest of our team. You can expect to see Wonka in the upcoming Revival project along with many web videos that you'll be able to catch here at the Skitch blog. Welcome to the team Wonka.

Mosher's New Cutter

Mosher just got his Gen3 Volume Cutter in glow in the dark green. He's also rocking the new Fu Manchu Fork and it looks awesome. One new addition is his 2" mini pegs. I've been resisting this idea for a long time but who's to stand in the way of progression? It will be cool to see what tricks Mosher is able to come up with on those things.

A Murder of Couriers Trailer 2

The second trailer for the Murder of Couriers project has dropped and it looks like Vancouver is holding it down as always. Great work guys, I can't wait to see this.

Torey Bunnyhop Barspins

Torey is spending the summer back in his home in Georgia but don't expect that to slow him down at all. Here's a video of him dialing in his bunnyhop barspins. Looking good there dude!

The Revival presents Keep On Keepin' On

THE REVIVAL/KEEP ON KEEPIN' ON from morehartfilms on Vimeo.

With the fallout of what was supposed to be The Revival tour last month, Wayne has taken it upon himself to put together a precurser to the Revival video. The video will be completed in early November and is title The Revival presents Keep On Keepin' On. The riders in this video are based both in Seattle and Vancouver. The video documents the contrast in styles while also showing the most progressive riding in both places. Keep your eye here on the Skitch blog for more info and trailers coming soon.

A big thank you goes out to Super Champion, Red Bull, Strike Cycles, Fixed Mag and Zlog for all their support.
