Kareem on Blades in Seattle

Kareem has been talking about this blade edit long enough that I was beginning to think that it was one of the lost commitments that fades to coulda, woulda, shouldas, but lo and behold, he has delivered, and over delivered at that. This is a product of a methodical approach to clip stacking, trick laying, and slam taking determination. I wish I could even recall that last time that I wore roller blades but disregarding that, much respect goes out to Kareem for the creativity, ingenuity, and spot usage. So stoked for him and this edit.

Kareem Shehab: Welcome to Hold Fast

Told you he had more coming! Kareem letting loose with a welcome to Hold Fast Edit. Footage is stacked on stacked and tricks and spots on point. Probably haven't even seen most of these hidden Seattle gems. Really proud of the work he's put in and excited he is producing so much this summer. Keeping the dream alive.

Kareem Shehab: Blowing Things Up

Two off the wall edits from Kareem in a week's time. A stacked collection of cheetah Pharoh clips in his farewell to Leader and a Seattle Special Hill Bomb down Dravus in Magnolia.

Something tells me though he isn't done yet. Hold tight for the next gem from our brother.

Jumped In: Kareem Shehab

I would like to take this opportunity to formally welcome you to the most recent Northwest Division transplant: Kareem Shehab.

We decided to take a different approach for his Jumped In interview for the following reasons. Through his Death Pedal video series (DP4 dropping soon!), work with Leader Bikes, and WRAHW FAM antics, he has established quite a name for himself within the global fixed gear community. For those of you lucky enough to know Kareem however, you know that there is so much more to him beyond his fame and glamour. I chose to document an afternoon adventure with him to expose some of the minute details and nuances that would have been easily missed and overlooked through a written interview.

Though we have known him for some years, Kareem's recent move to Seattle has allowed us to really dig in and understand what he is all about. Each encounter with him seems to somehow top the previous. His enthusiasm and devoted energy towards bikes, ping pong, his career, and most everything else he takes on is inspiring. Half assed is not a term in his vocabulary.

Last Sunday we set out in a search for a flat rail in a neighborhood just north of Seattle. But this video is not about the rail. This video is about the little things, the comfortably uncomfortable in betweens.

We are thrilled to have Kareem with us and hope that you enjoy the next 10 minutes with him.

Threading for Spike Parts

Caught this picture over the weekend with Nelson Bell and Jake Hanson for Spike Parts.
Wouldn't run any other bars, cranks, sprockets, hubs, bottom bracket spacers, headsets, seats, or seatposts! The know what's going on over there in Taipei!

Zlog Sea Town Fix Up 3

So apparently Zach had been filming for the third installment of STFU3 without really telling anyone. He unleashed this at the ZLOG CAT after party. Make sure to check out all the Northwest Division natives along with a special CSK shout out. Much love and respect for the Zlog Family.

One line with Kareem Shehab

Couldn't resist getting posting this line. We met up with Kareem who was in the market for catching a quick line. Captured in sequential order:

ZLOG x CSK WINTERMUTE

Zlog came through with this collaboration video. His camera puts the flip to shame. Antics and some gems in there as well.

Words from his site below:

The Seattle winters can be a bit daunting, but this one has brought rejuvenation to the local fixed freestyle scene. Many newcomers have relocated to the great North West and the good times have already started rolling. Watch and enjoy!

This video consists of clips collected throughout the winter shot with a Canon Rebel T3i. I think the video quality really shines through.

Notice: This video has been released under the strict guidelines of the CSK. “Get on it, be with it.”
