SNDTRCK is a French collective composed of 4 friends riding track bike since 2007/2008. Yes we are doing tricks on fixed gear bikes and we love it so much that we finally decided to make this blog, to support the local scene, riders and fixed gear industry.
Last sunday was a great day of riding for me! Even if the cold weather has finally descended on Paris...
I spent most of our session attempting a bunny barspin. I managed to launch quite a few actually! They're still ugly, but now I have the feel for the trick, (I've been dreaming about trying it for a long time).
Here are some photos shot by Stefano during one of the attempts.
2011 was a crazy year of riding for us. We travelled a lot and we met a ton of great people from all over the world (mostly European but from the US and Japan too). That being said, what's most important to us, as always, is riding with our friends!
Here is a small edit of some leftovers from 2011.
In 2012, all we can hope for is another amazing year, just like 2011 (just with more videos and even more amazing times!)
It was a crazy fixed year for us.
We spent a lot of time traveling with our bikes this year: Paris, Montpellier, Lisbonne, Rennes, Lille, Brussels, San Francisco, Santa Cruz, Los Angeles, Honfleur, Friedriechshafen, Rouen ...
Here is a visual summary of all the great times 2011 brought us !!
We always have such a blast with our bikes. Thank you all for the support throughout 2011!! We're ready to have a crazy year in 2012, and get all our kicks in before the end of the world :D
Have a happy new year, and thanks for all the support !!! We love you !!!
Yesterday, the redbull minidrome was held at la Cigalle here in Paris. It's a beautifull venue for an event with so many people. 150 people came out !!
During your first run, you ride alone and you need to make 10 laps! If you are a part of the top 32 times, you can go to the next step which is a battle between two riders pitted against one another !!!
After a brief moment in 1st place, I finished the qualifiers in the 22th spot of the fastest riders of the day !!
Unfortunately for me my first battle was against the best rider there so it was the end of the line for me. But I had a blast anyways. There were so many people there and the energy level was crazy !!!
Here is the vidéo of my first run !! You really need to curv this minidrome if you want to win !!!
I also just want to say congrats to all the street riders because most of them made it past the qualifying round. Big up to Enzo, Bat Howel, Tromss, and Xavier! Know everybody has seen that trick riders can ride FASTER THAN MOST OF YOU !!!!
Can't wait to for next year!! And maybe I'll be better :)
