now that i'm finally done getting all my photos out there, i can finally get back to posting other things. i just want to say the redbull event was the biggest thing for fixed gear riding to date. i recently talked to a buddy who asked what i thought about the people who said fixed riding was a fad. i straight up told him "redbull ride & style- it solidified what it's all about".
some things need to be worked out however:
1) the track portion needs to be more defined; maybe have it just like touge racing- more about the gap than whos out in front because the track gets a little narrow.
2) wayyyy too easy to get a media pass. i mean it was dope that my buddies got in and such, but wayyyy too easy.
3)10 minute jam heats of fixed freestyle in the heat is torture. 5 minutes in, people were dying for some water.
4) MOAR KEO ANTICS. because... keo is rad as hell.
this event is young and it has plenty of time to improve. overall, i couldnt have asked for anything more from it. i'm looking forward to the next one, and seeing you all again!
