Within the past year, the fixed gear scene has changed drastically. More people are recognizing the trick (tarking) aspect while their bicycles are looking more like big BMX’s (700cmx). Because of this, people sometimes forget about the “mashing” aspect. This video of Massan from Macaframa reminds us that going full speed through traffic is still a big part of fixed gear riding.

There will be a Macaframa screening at The Independent on May 4th which lands on a Monday. Doors open at 7:30pm and the movie starts at 8pm. Entrance is free but there is a 2 drinks minimum... shoot that sounds like a deal, kinda. More info can be found on The Independent's site and on Macaframa's site.
I just got back from watching the 10'oclock showing of the Macaframa movie. One word that came to mind while watching this movie was 'balance'. Everything in this movie was balanced exquisitely, there was a blend of the guys bombing down hills in sf and then a transition to them doing bar spins and wheelies all over the place. there was a perfect balance in their soundtrack. A balance between the cinematography and the raw footage.
I'm anxious for the DVD to drop so i can see some more extra footage. i strongly recommend this movie to any avid biking enthusiast. Enjoy it!
cheers
