there’s lots of clique-y samey-samey in bmx right now, which is generally snooze-inducing. I see off the wall ish like this coming out of Japan and my faith is restored.
I came home this morning to find that I had left my IM client open and unattended for the past 16 hours. In amongst all the pleading to me to stop drinking and the solicitations for free sex were no less than 3 references to this link.

I was looking at the the 2 Wheel Issue of Vapors this month–it’s a pretty cool issue with lots of 2 Wheel coverage (fixed+bmx+mopeds, etc.). One article had streetwear + culture luminaries and their personal rides, and I find out that huf has also got his fixie set up like mine with Hutch Trick Star decals.
Now, I hadn’t seen that he was running this setup at all when I did mine in February. I had a metallic grey fixie frame, I had an extra set of repop Trick Star decals from my 20″ Trick Star build, and some pink deep-v wheels from an earlier bike, and I thought the three would go together well in an DQM x Trackstar/80’s Freestyle bmx style build.
