  Massan is a photographer and member of the Mash SF crew. When he lived in SF, he was known as the fastest dude in the city. He’s known for tackling the gnarliest hills, too. Check out the Mash video for the documentation that backs up his rep.

  Justin Yu has been a staple of the San Francisco fixed gear scene since 2003. What made you decide to take the brakes off? I bought my first track bike in 2003, an ’81 Celeste Bianchi Piaggio with a full Gipiemme group for $300. It was undrilled, so I learned how to ride fixed on [...]

Apparently Futura didn’t already have enough collabs in his closet. I kid. I don’t see much art to it, but this is a very cool color combo.

Rick Charnoski is a pool dog I met years back who knows more about skateboarding than just about anyone but Mackenzie Eisenhour at TWS (dude is encyclopedic to say the least). Rick’s latest cinematic masterpiece is about the history of NYC skateboarding. I haven’t seen it yet, I’m going Monday night, but if the film [...]

  Eric Lau is creating a new definition for the producer in today’s industry. With his first major release, New Territories, the British-born beat junkie is showing that he is on his way to the top.  Lau, though fairly new to the game, is definitely going to be one of those peeps you name-drop. Separated [...]

Hi my name is… Tera Patrick. I was raised… All over the world, but I did most of my growing up in the San Francisco area.

John Igei is pro skater for Western Edition that kills it just as hard on a bike. When did you decide to take the brakes off? Spring ’04. I never had a track bike with brakes.
