If you’ve ever stripped a frame before you know how annoying and time consuming it can be. Thankfully this is mostly time lapse some tie lapse footage so we don’t have to watch the bubbling for and hour. Have to say it came out looking pretty good in the end though.

11 Questions: Phillip Williams.

Posted by: kris on Friday, December 23rd, 2011 4:13 pm

Since Phillip posted his first edit FIXIE! six months ago I’ve been stoked on his riding. You can tell he’s really going out and getting things done…over 20 edits in 6 months is pretty major. I dig his style and how fast he’s been getting new tricks down. It’s kind of hard to deny that he’s putting in work for sure. Luckily he’s got a solid filmer and photographer, Sam Clark, helping him put out some quality stuff like the photos you see here. Dynamic duo? Ha. As far as I can tell Phil Will is a humble dude that just loves bikes and I definitely respect that. Most people have seen him on the internets but may not really know who the dude is. Sooo I had a chance to pick his brain this week and this is what I came up with. If you find a stray cat it just might be his girl’s haha. Enjoy!

11 Questions: Phillip Williams.

1. So who are you? Name, age, location, time riding, pets, favorite color…all the creepy stuff.

My name is Phillip Williams / SHARK. I am 26 years old. I currently live in a igloo in Burlington, Ontario, Canada.

My lady has 2 cats Mocha and Princess. She also adopted her sister’s cat Chico until she is found…contact me immediately if you have seen her lol.

I have been fixed for like 9 months now. I ride for Destroy Bikes, Dorcia Distribution, and Ynot.

2. What got you stoked on riding fixed? How’d you first get into this weird thing we all love?

I always thought it looked interesting but, I never had the money. Until I got destroyed on my BMX and my back made the decision for me. It was a time for a change I went to a local BMX store in Burlington called JIBS BMX where I work now. My boss was stoked on the idea of it and got me onto a Volume Thrasher. I guess when Burlington came into my life I got my first experience with LOVE and I have been addicted since.

3. Who’s riding are you the most stoked on right now and why?

Kyle Messier the owner of THE FIX he is one of my homies and dude simply shreds. Him and I are always thinking of something whether it is different bike set ups or what is possible on a fix.

4. There’s a pretty good diversity of riding out there these days. What are you more juiced on seeing…style? Tech? Gnar?

Hmm I guess I could sum that up by saying a couple shredders Kyle Messier, Daniel Torres,

Kenny Arimoto and GRIME. They keep me inspired and stoked on FGFS.

5. If you could be any animal what would you be? What kind of activities would you do on the daily? Some Godzilla shit?!

A Shark… I would be on the hunt for all the haters out there because there are too many in this ocean.

6. What’s up with your bike? I know you just got something pretty new built up…give us a little run down.

I just built up the Destroy Masochist this week and honestly it is the best frame I have ridden. The basic reason is it very similar to the Unicorn Killer but, just with a higher top tube which is all I needed since I am tall. Destroy frames feel solid and can hold up to a beating. I need to build up a new wheel set but, haven’t had the time. Wheels suck! I have just been trying to ride with the little bit of warmth we have left.

Frame: Masochist
Fork: Volume Thrasher
Headset: Odyssey
Stem: Demolition
Bars: Your Dream
Grips: Odyssey Cuff links
Cranks: Wethepeople 175mm
Sprocket: Eight inch 35T
Pedals: Animal Hamilton
Straps: Ynot
Chain: DK Exo
Seat: Sadio Grime
Seat Post: Alienation
Front Wheel: Halo SAS > Sadio Hub > KHE 2.1
Rear Wheel: Vintage
Pegs: Cinema 4140 (Front) Shadow Toxic (Rear)
Cog: 13T

11 Questions: Phillip Williams.

7. You’ve been beyond productive since you started putting out edits and such. What keeps you motivated and fending off negativity?

I would say all of my sponsors, my boss, my homie James and Sam keep me thinking straight because some times the goon wants to come out of me but, I try to look forward and stay positive. I try to express myself through my edits and the songs I choose.

“Why shoot you a bright future ahead of me, I am already nice trying to make a better me!”
- Hook from the Chrome entry song

At the most part I get mad respect from tons of peeps out there who really ride. Too many to give shout outs too!! Like I said before mad respect for everyone who takes the time to check out my edits or hit me up on internet. I try to look at the big picture and let my riding speak for itself. It definitely keeps me progressing and moving forward. Honestly haters keep me motivated because they will always be where they are now no where.

8. Most people in FGFS come from something else…BMX, skateboarding, roller derby…you do anything else?

Ahhh nope I have pretty much always ridden a bike in some shape or form.

9. When you aren’t riding what else are you getting into?

My life… work, my lady, designing, internet, mossin, hot tubing and figuring when I will be able to ride again.

10. Top five places you want to visit/ride?

1. California
2. Montreal
3. New York
4. Europe
5. Thailand

11. If you were going to be stranded on an island Castaway status what’s the one thing you’d take with you and why? No bikes allowed :) .

A scooter because I know I would never be bored too much fun.

Lockedcog Christmas Light Ride!

Posted by: kris on Thursday, December 22nd, 2011 11:42 am

So this is a last minute, half-assed idea that a few of us thought would be fun yesterday. Every year I feel like Christmas comes and goes without ever really getting into the spirit. This should be fun. Sooo here we go!

- Meet at Watherstone (812 21st St.) tomorrow at about 8:00 PM.
- Drink some coffee, hot chocolate or beers (they have all three and some tasty foods).
- Head to the East Sacramento area (Fab 40′s cause they’re all loaded and spend bank on their lights) to peep some Christmas lights.
- Obviously bring lights and ride safe!

Here’s a terrible flier featuring Lunchbox that I threw together in about 5 minutes:

COG x Chrome the Reckoning.

Posted by: kris on Tuesday, January 10th, 2012 6:38 pm

Chances are if you’ve been riding fixed for a good amount of time you’ve heard of COG Magazine. One of the premiere fixed specific publications is now into its fifth year and still going strong. I had the opportunity thanks to the fine people at Chrome, namely Corinne, to kick around in a pair of the new COG x Chrome collabo Southside shoe. In conjunction with that I put together this little piece below on how I see COG fitting into our bike culture with a mini look at these fresh kicks. I’m stoked for both these companies who obviously love bikes!

COG x Chrome the Reckoning.

The one thing that I feel puts COG atop the heap of fixed gear media these days is there dedication to what they do. There isn’t a bombardment of media coming from the COG headquarters trying to catch your attention at every avenue. Their website is modest and informative. Logging on you see a site easy on the eyes with a nice glance at what they do. However, as nice a site as it I’d say it remains a bit reserved. Some people who are more web conscious may find this annoying, but when you pick up an issue of COG you’re not seeing the same articles and photos regurgitated from the web into a magazine. Instead you see fresh images, paragraphs and reviews that you’ll surely be interested in. I respect this. In reality COG certainly has the resources to build a killer site but that’s not what they love!

My personal experiences with the people behind COG have certainly be positive. In the past few years that I’ve had the opportunity to travel the country to various events I’ve had the pleasure of meeting a some of the dudes in charge. A couple trips to the Midwest, Interbike and some time in SF for Red Bull Ride and Style saw me on the other end of one of their photographer Kevin Sparrow’s lense. The dudes got mad skill with his camera and takes some stellar shots for the magazine. The fact that they’re all super nice doesn’t hurt either

COG x Chrome the Reckoning.

Flipping through the pages you can see that COG legitimately tries to cover as many events a they possibly can. As the the “scene”, for lack of a better word, has grown into what it is they’ve been at or tried to have coverage from as many events, trips and polo tournaments as they possibly can. We’re not talking some small one page features or a few photos either. If it’s a happening event there’s usually a good amount of quality content for us to put our eyes on. Should it be Matt Lingo or Dave Beard taking trips with SE or shooting some sick race flicks in SF at Ride and Style…they know what they’re doing, what we want to see and how to get it. What we end up with is a nice piece of publication that we can leave on our coffee tables for days but can also pop into the bathroom with or collect over the years.

The COG x Chrome Southside:

Soooo the spark behind this little rant is the new foot covers you see above that are hitting the streets from Chrome. I’ve been rocking mine and man are they the business. These are the third pair of Chrome shoes I’ve had and I’d have to say that comfort wise they’ve been the best. I really dig the embosed logos on the tongue and rear. The tongue piece is a homage to COG as is the colorful insole. The rear embossing is the well know Chrome logo. I like the look of the leather outter and can tell these bad boys are going to look sicker as break ‘em in more. All in all a nice comfy shoe from Chrome and Cog that I can’t wait to run into the ground on my trick bike and at work. Collabo well done guys! Grab yourself a pair right here

Eighthinch Pivitol Seat and Post.

Posted by: kris on Tuesday, December 13th, 2011 8:40 pm

Something else to look forward to from Eighthinch is their Pivitol seat and seatpost on its way. The seat is a legit Pivitol seat with a wider profile for us fixed freestyle riders. I’ve run a few different Pivitol seats in the past couple years and usually, though I like them, riding around on them for long periods of time definitely does a number on the ol’ bum. Most Pivitols designed for BMX aren’t meant for sitting on really because…well you don’t really sit down much on a 20 inch. Eighthinch went ahead and made this thing a little more butt friendly and made a 27.2 post to go along with it. You can’t see the post in the picture but it certainly does the job. Digging this seat for its grippy sides for hopping and the grooves under the nose (not pictured!) for toboggans and such.

Eighthinch Cromo Sprocket and Fresh Drivetrain.

Posted by: kris on Tuesday, December 13th, 2011 8:24 pm

I recently got all my new Eighthinch bits up on my bike so I’ll be upping a few posts in the next few hours showing you what’s good from the dudes! Here’s the new proto sprocket that I’m so loving right now. No more steel insert in an aluminum sprocket. This beast is solid cromo and 48 splined to keep things stiff and running right. I also got my 12 tooth cog on there that they dished out a while back along with some raw 170mm cranks to keep it fresh. Stoked on having some more leverage and a way tighter gearing of 33×12. This is seriously the most solid drivetrain I’ve ever had without a shadow of a doubt. Look for these sprockets to be dropping here real soon.

Shoppin’: Pedal Hard 2011-2012.

Posted by: kris on Saturday, November 19th, 2011 6:47 pm

Here’s a few shots sent over by Robbie of Pedal Hard sowing you where the shop is at and the end of 2011 and heading into 2012. There’s been a lot of changes for the Sac fixed shop since I did a Shoppin’ spot on them almost a year ago. Tons of new stuff, more stock on hand, plenty of support in events and they’re pushing to make 2012 even fresher! I actually had an office set up in here for the better part of the year…and hopefully with enough coaxing the guys will let me set it up proper again here soon! If you’re in Sac and looking for some sick new or used bike parts they’re probably got it. Seriously. From the new Eighthinch and leader bits to some vintage track and road pieces they just might have what you need. Even if you don’t need anything they’re always down to shoot the shit about anything or get down on some Nintendo haha. Roll by if your in the area or hit up their website to grab some stuff if you’re not. Check that vintage Lockedcog Zombie tee in the pano shot hahahaha. There’s a couple more shots after the click so don’t miss those. Keep at it dudes!

Johhny Boy posted this sick flick of AJ up this morning. So stoked when I saw it! AJ has long been one of my favorite dude in FGFS. Super humble and has a damn sick personality. Helps that he can kill it on the bike too. Below John’s flicky is the newest edit AJ posted. He doesn’t post too much stuff to the web but when he does you know its good.

Haven’t done up one of these in a while. New phone means I can get back on it! Here’s some stuff from the past week. My dispatcher with the new sac polo coozies, my Cannondale, my Butcher by the golden goose and my buddy Erik Bell killing it at his show.
