Jason Sellers sent over his flip book showcasing all of his photos from the Death of Barcelona trip that went down last year. These are some of the best FGFS photos I’ve seen in a while. Everyone went off hard in this trip.

A Day in 10 Photos: 05.05.2012
Yesterday was the quintessential Texas Saturday. We rolled out of the house mid-day after the temperature was in the upper 90’s and headed to 5 Hip. Tony Fast is in town to escape Santa Barbara and ride a bit. Puckett was blasting the new quarter with an inverted table and AJ was working on a flyout bar. Once the afternoon heat and haze crippled us, we headed to a secluded swimming hole.
On the descent down into the Greenbelt, Eric flew over the bars on his brakeless BMX and wrecked himself but it was nothing the cool water couldn’t heal.

Hold Fast O.X. 29’r 26″ and 24″ Framesets Available Now
The Hold Fast O.X. frames are now available. OX Platinum, made in the USA and rider tested. These are looking DAMN good.
More details:
“We’re proud to introduce to you our latest, the Hold Fast O.X. Frame Series. They’ve been described by our test riders as the kind of bike that is so responsive, “all you have to do is think it, and the bike does the rest”. While we can’t make that claim ourselves (thanks a lot, Colin), our goal was simply to create an aggressive and highly responsive frame with a dialed-in geometry that encourages intuitive freestyle riding.”
This breaks down into three frames: The Converter 29’r, the Subverter 26″ and the Agitator 24″.
Pick these up now, because they won’t last!

Hold Fast: 24″ Fixed Freestyle Framesets
The Hold Fast fixed freestyle framesets have been in the works for well over a year now but news of the 24″ FGFS frameset has only hit the internet in the past few weeks. Rob from Hold Fast sent over these two teasers. Expect more tomorrow but for now, check out the full build on the 24″ Hold Fast FGFS bike below.

Introducing Zen Grips
From my SF Randomness set
Photo by Matt Lingo for Zen Grips
I met Kit this weekend in SF for the #RideNStyle fixed gear madness that engulfed the city. He’s from SoCal and came up to promote his new company, Zen Grips and race at the event. Made by ODI, these grips are fabricated in the USA and feature a unique compound and grip pattern. Kit was riding them on his track bike and his FGFS team has been repping them hard for the past few months.
Head over to Zen Grips to check out more and don’t miss that Matt Lingo-shot set with Congo and Joe.

Matt Spencer’s SKYLMT
I have to admit, I was a little sad when I heard that Matt Spencer was going to be riding 26″ wheels. Note that I said “a little” because it really doesn’t matter and smaller wheels will only enable Matt to ride harder and bigger than ever. When he announced he was leaving Volume, I knew he was going to be riding for SKYLMT. These frames are incredible. They’re light and made in the USA.
Matt’s SKYLMT weighs in at 25 lbs complete, as shown here and he’s already thrashing on it. While we were at the Island, I took it out for some lens love. It’s almost impossible to shoot a bike in SF without having a MUNI bus lurking in the background.

Wolf Drawn: Tire Johnson

Tyler Johnson had some of the cleanest lines at the 2012 #RideNStyle and it’s because he practices and rides as much as he can. Back when he was in LBC, hanging at the #FF, Tyler hit this tire slide on an old fridge. To see video of this, watch his edit again.

There’s a lot more coming but I liked these two photos. Simon with the tuck no and Tyler hitting a footplant to bar. I had a lot of fun hanging out at the Island this afternoon and I can’t wait until tomorrow!
