Here we have a very limited run of 30 custom skateboard decks designed by our great Kyle Steed.  They are made in the USA, cut to 8.125″ and ready to rip the streets in style!  Skate this deck like any other or hang it on the wall as a piece of art.  Your call Folly Friends.  All I know is that you will be completely filled with the Ride x Create Vibe in whatever facet you utilize this custom piece of art.  Get pumped… we most definitely are!

You can pick up these sweet boards HERE.   

*Along with the release of the Folly Fun Deck, all of our summer apparel will be marked down to $15 from now until they’re sold out! Make sure to grab’em up, there aren’t many left.

Hangfive With Monte from Matthew Montoya on Vimeo.

Good… freakin… mornin!  You need to get that gunk out of your eye and down some coffee!  Hopefully this gnarly hangfive will wake you up!

It’s official, Bikeminimalism is back up and running full speed ahead!  Along with their re-established pursuit of bringing you the best in Urban Cycling, they have picked up Mr. John Amunét to spread his amazingly creative vibe via photography and cinematography.  Amongst other things, John is an all around cycling bad ass. 

“We are also in the process of producing a monthly/bimonthly TV-show focusing on fixed gear bikes, riding, swag, product tests, shop visits and general nouveau art shit around bicycle culture.” – Mikko 

I’m personally looking forward to see how Bikeminimalism brings all the greatness that is cycling into a sweet TV-show!  I’m sure it will be interesting, informative and above all, motivating to get your ass out on the road and ride!!

With all that said… above is a beautiful “hand bulit Russian Takhion replica build by Finnish frame builder Olli Erkkilä“.  Make sure to check out the sweet build specks over at Bikeminimalism and other great creations over at Olli’s site.   Ride x Create

Eighthinch Butcher frame build and bike check from Benjamin Le bon A Mckenzie on Vimeo.

I love bike build video’s!  My anticipation and excitement grow as the build progresses!  It’s hard to compare the feeling of putting together your bike from start to finish then heading off to dominate the streets!

I’ve been extremely busy this last week and to top it off, I was up all last night reviewing what I ate that day… in my toilet.  With that said, I need to replace the BB on the Surly.  It sounds like it’s officially metal on metal (minus lube) or who knows what.  I haven’t rode it in about 2 weeks.  I’m missing the open road.  Unfortunately I wont be able to get it in a stand until next week.  Nevertheless, I have my my ‘Taxi’ fixed that i’ve been spending a lot of time on commuting around town and to skateparks in the local area.  Fairdale knew what they were doing when they created the Skaterack.  Until I invest in one of those awesome creations… I’ll rely on my dope Chrome Delta to carry my board successfully and comfortably from skate spot to skate spot.

Only one more day left Folly friends… then it’s the weekend, which will be filled with endless creative possibilities.  Ride x Create

Padded back and shoulder strap. Even at the smaller scale bags, you dont want anything poking in your back or digging into your shoulder.

Fully reversible for left and right shoulder orientation, including sternum strap.

1000d Nylon outer, 10oz ‘Truck Tarp’ floating inner liner.

Front quick access pouch, Also weatherproof.

Multi Layer construction on the bottom to help with protection when setting the bag down.
