CRAFTY / SPIRITUAL ELEVATION

July 16th, 2011

My good friend Crafty came up with a new track called “Spiritual elevation” and last weekend I helped him making a video for it in Copenhagen where he’s living at the moment.

It was very impulsive and none of us really planned anything. We just hooked up and took it from there. But I think we did well.

Hopefully next video will be shot in NYC where Crafty is moving in september and have been living several times before.

ILE Inside Line Equipment

July 13th, 2011

For not so long ago I came across a blog post on Prollys about The Ultimate Photographers Bag.

I knew with myself I had to have this bag as fast as possible. The photo bag I have now is simply too small for having anything else in it but camera equipment. So I have absolutely no room for extra stuff when I ride my bike.

Beside making straps for Sofus Francisco I work as a photographer making film and video in a advertising agency called “Marginal“. So have my camera with me always.

I contacted Eric from ILE right away and asked if he could send one to Denmark and I got an email from him the same day. He made it for me like I wanted it to be. With extra inside pockets and a camo pocket.

This is 2 weeks ago and I got the bag 3 days ago so Eric must have been extremely busy and fast to send it.

When I first opened the box the bag looked even better than in the pictures. I could immediately tell that it was quality. It’s 100% as good as I hoped for.

I have had some time to test it and have  been riding 3 days with the bag now and even though it’s big I find it to be very easy to carry. It feels super good on my bag and fits like a dream.

I can highly recommend this bag for anyone looking for the perfect photo/bicycle bag. It has plenty of Capacity for all your extra stuff. I will be using this bag only for my trip to Hamburg and Berlin next week.

Dave Noakes for SF

June 17th, 2011

We’re very glad to welcome Dave Noakes to the SF team.

Dave is 30, he rides for Fixedgearlondon, Vans, Continental, Dickies and Sofus Francisco (whoop), He worked as a messenger for around 7 years and have organised races, events and stuff that involves riding and having fun. He also does youth work. Dave is also a writer at Fixed Mag


Dave:


Basically riding fixed is my life, I got a bmx after starting to ride fixed freestyle, but havent used it as I love my fixed wheel bikes and freewheels just dont do it for me. I ride an ESB, 700c, no pegs at the mo….but Im seriously considering going 26″, but I’d much rather a 700c frame with negative bb, so I can run pegs properly. I have been riding tricks for about 6 months and i seriously love it!!!


I’ve been involved with the mag for the past year, so nearly 4 issues. I got involved through Andy Ellis, I met him years ago when he was a messenger and since then he’s done… well.. everything really. He set up Fixedgearlondon, who I ride for and Fixed Mag, as well as a million other things. I moved in with him and kinda started helping out with bits for the mag, and now its basically Andy and myself that design, edit, write, test, internet stuff (online downloads)…well….yeah its basically us 2 behind the mag at the mo. Which is fine, because the issues are getting better and better, it is a lot of work….but totally worth it!
