Here's a quick look into life at the island in SF on any given day. When Pete Brandt isn't touring the world putting on flatland demos he's OUT HERE and going non stop, check out his blog here. RATPACK

Destroy Bikes BBQ

Tomorrow Destroy Bikes will be holding a BBQ/Jam at 3rd and Army. As the flier says they will also have a merch tent set up with special deals on the Masochist frame and 666 bars as well as some live music. Should be sick, if you're in the area come out, I know I'll be there. RATPACK

Ed Wonka Does Big Brown

Mike Schmitt shot this ad for Grime bikes of Ed "Wonka" LaForte double peggin' to skid on big brown with Matt "Slumworm" Reyes and myself filming for Shredwell2. This 19 stair handrail is the biggest thing I've ever seen someone do on a fixed in person, Ed is a BEAST. Check out his newest video for Chrome with Anthony Combs making a guest appearance here.

iMiNUSD San Jose

iMiNUSD was one of the first shops dedicated to solely track and fixed gear riding. As one of fgfs leading retailers the shop has helped push the industry to where it is today, and will continue to be a leader within the community for years to come. I was psyched to see the store as well as the impact it has had on the surrounding San Jose area.

Big thanks to my man Nhan for hooking me up with a grip of stickers

San Jose Chillin'

                                     

I ended up staying in San Jose a bit longer than I had planned and didn't bring a computer charger with me so the majority of my San Jose trip will be shown through instagram pictures I snagged during my time there. #regram? RATPACK

RATPACK in San Jose

Last thursday after 3rd and Army I took the last CalTrain out to San Jose to meet up with Hambone and continue filming as well as kick it with the rest of the Grime boys at the G.O.A.T traphouse. 

3rd and Army

Last week Daniel McD, Jeff of BayAreaFixed, and Susie took me to one of SF's most legendary spots, 3rd and Army. I'm really fortunate to have local riders showing me around to so many spots I may not come across otherwise. RATPACK
