I’m soooooo down with this! Bristol Fixed is a photo zine produced by Sean McGowan and illustrates the DIY aspect of the fixed gear scene perfectly. Here’s some more info…

28 Page, Staple Bound, Black and White Photo Zine documenting the Bristol fixed gear bicycle scene.

A5 portrait. 
160 gsm matt white cover. 
115gsm uncoated off white matt recycled paper inner pages.

First edition of 100.

The first 20 orders will include a 7×5 C-Type print of an image from the zine. The print will be on Fuji Crystal Archive paper with a lustre finish and white border.

Shot entirely on Kodak Tri-X 400 black and white film, push processed to 1600.

They are just £3 each and a quid for postage, I’ve ordered myself a copy and you should too because I reckon it’ll sell out quick. Pop over to Sean’s site to get your hands on one.

A few nights ago I tried hitting up some street spots with Kirtley, Ollie and Robbo, Frayne and Scott and it wasn’t long before I remembered that parks and street really aren’t the same thing at all. A board to the knee followed by a severe arse to concrete meeting left me shooting photos for the rest of the night, here are a few nice ones…

I definitely need to shred some daytime street before attempting another night sesh, ‘I’m too old for that shit’.

Sion, Evs and myself headed into the Brecon Beacons for an hour or so, the weather was moody and just right to snap some decent shots.

Evs again, the climb in the background can be a right bastard

Up the hill, down the hill, cruising for sheep, we’re looking for a velcro glove sponsor…

Fuck knows how this one passed me by, it has 3 out of my top 5 favourite things in all of the world: skateboarding, cycling and photography!

This video goes behind the scenes as Arto Saari shoots photos of fellow skateboarder and fixed gear rider John Cardiel, it’s got my hyped (yeah, bro) to shoot some more cycling photos soon. Actually, I have a bunch of outtakes from the Fixed Mag shoot to post, I’ll get them up this week. Enjoy…

I love an animated GIF, they are very dear to my heart, like guinea pigs, Salt n Shake crisps and those sailor stripe Jean Paul Gaultier Diet Coke cans.

Josh Greet has made some absolute bangers of Sol from Ninjacats, well worth a look on either of their sites!

I have watched very little of the Olympic cycling events because I simply couldn’t care less about all this never ending sport being forced into my eyes and ears all day long. All this cycling talk on my Facebook news feed is just as bad as when the football world cup is on.

All I have watched is the last 20km of the mens road race, it was a bit of a let down because of the lack of graphics and the end wasn’t particularly exciting but I think the fact that Team GB blew it proved that racing is more exciting without race radio. Had they all had earpieces I’m sure Cav would have been in the sprint.

I really do wish I had been there to watch though, Chris Lanaway was and he shot these great photos which capture the atmosphere as much as the racing.

This is one of my favourite photos and one that I think every cyclist in the world can look at and feel as smug as is humanly possible. There are few better feelings than riding through the middle of two lanes of gridlocked traffic and looking at all the driver’s miserable faces, haha.

Dan Wood is a skateboarder and photographer from South Wales who shoots exclusively on film, makes all his own prints and has an eye that the Six Million Dollar Man could only dream of. It’s really not easy to make a photo of a traffic jam look good, this single shot is a testament to his skills I reckon.

Word is that he has just ONE 20×16 print left for £25, hit up his site to see the rest of his work and contact him if you fancy hanging this on your wall.

I spent half an hour at Ted James‘ Truman Brewery based workshop yesterday afternoon.

All the machines he uses are from the early to mid 1900’s and watching him at work is like spending time at the helm of a steam train. At any second you expect a huge plume of smoke and a great big TOOOOOOOOOOT before a recognisable part pops out before your very eyes.

In these photos you can see him setting up the tooling to produce some small parts for a top secret bike to be unveiled at Bespoked Bristol in a week or so.

To see the complete set of 15 photographs head over to the Facebook album.

The Red Bull Hill Chasers event went down on Saturday on Park Street in Bristol, gutted I couldn’t make it this year cause last year was rad.

Click on the photo of Hamilton Wheelers very own Ed Trotman getting gnarly above to see some more photos from Jake Davis who also put together the video below…

…and check out this one by Cycling Bristol too…

I don’t think I’ve ever posted any cyclocross stuff on here before and I know it’s a bit late in the season now but I also know that a lot of you are really into it.

Chris Lanaway shot a series of photos at the London X League event recently, to see them all check out the gallery on his site.
