The Take Over Race 2

Sean Martin and his camp have been known to throw the most interesting and fun filled races that Los Angeles has to offer. Sean and Take Over LA made use of Los Angeles’ land scape and threw an across town race from Venice Beach to The East Side. Here’s a little insight on some of the racers in this video. In the beginning you see Hern Montenegro along side some other Los Angeles Celebrities. Amongst Hern, we’ve got Jon B., Alonzo Tal and the Jr. Juicer Camp. Hern, Jon, and Zo have been battling it out for a couple summers now and always place relativity close to each other. These 3 gentlemen are great role models for the Jr. Juicers and young cyclist out here in LA. I know this because these kids are nipping at their heels.

Our lil friend from across the pond. Fish ‘n’ Chips is part of the next generation killing it in the FGFS world. One of LAB rats, Dylan is really coming into his own and deserves his moment in the sun. Be on the look out for this kid this year…

Fish ‘n’ Chips:

“I love riding around Venice and using my creativity to hit everything I see. I like being surprised, there’s so much to ride out here, you just got to look. I love anything i can jump off, ultimately.

L.A. has an incredible bike scene, it always makes me smile when i see the roads packed with bikes on a sunny day. I was a big midnight rider which really opened my eyes to the bike community, I met amazing people with all sorts of stories. I remember when fixed gears really took off, it was crazy, now it’s normal to see a fixed gear on every street in L.A.

At the point we’re at now, I think L.A. has the potential to be one of the best places to bike in the world. It’s all in the hands of the city and the people.”

Brimstone Ridazz! One of the Westside riders in our film, you can find Fram at LA Brakeless working behind the counter or riding along Venice beach on any given day. He brought a lot good times to the shoot and if you want to see what we mean by that, you are gonna have to swoop on the DVD tonight at 12am! Then you better bring those good times to release party this Saturday.

Fram:

“My favorite spot to ride is Venice Beach for sure. The beach is the center of activity for everything on the West side, from girlies to crazy bums to the smoothest concrete in L.A. There is also a lot of history in Venice Beach, maybe we’ll become a part of that. Sunset/Hollywood is a close 2nd.

People that come from other cities to ride here don’t understand how congested the streets really are. It’s like rush hour from 8-6 everyday. But, surprisingly, L.A. is a really beautiful place with lots of scenic views and parks. You just gotta get on your bike and find them.

The fixed bike scene is doing nothing but getting bigger and bigger! At first I noticed maybe one or two fixed gears a day, now it’s anywhere from 10 to 20 a day…at least.”

We are still getting a lot of questions as to when TL&R comes out on iTunes and DVD (the only place for 40 mins o Bonus extra features). There are some things coming up that will get your mouth watering for the release. More contests, more teasers, if you live in LA there will be some secret screenings and certain race after parties (Lord of Griffith III is June 5th). Just keep your eyes peeled here and remember….

It drops 6/21/11!!!

From the Westside of LA, riding out of LAB, these OG heads were a handful during filming, especially Charlie..who can forget this classic move? CRASH!
Never a dull moment, these guys were super fun to work with and always surprised us with what they can throw down on a bike.

George, Efrem and Charlie were friends before we started the movie, then with Keo in the mix, shit was Craze. These guys showed us what the Venice life is like; riding all day in the sun, locals only spots, smoking hella weed. It’s cool that Venice was the birthplace of skateboarding, and now is really a center point of Fix Gear FreeStyle. On any given day you can find FGFS riders practicing next to the skaters down at Venice Beach. This really is the place to “Think Global, and Ride Local.”

The LAB boys represented the West side in “To Live & Ride in L.A.” and were the best tour guides for Keo during his trip to LA. It was a summer none of us will forget. See it on 6/21/20!!!
