A Day With Fhai - Nabiis





Fhai from Nabiis is back in town!
So we hooked up & hit our way out on the road.
It was a fine Saturday kinda hazy but didn't stop us from mashing around town.
I was pretty stoked on his Nabiis x FTC Alchemy frame turned out, it was way better in real!





It was good to see you again Fhai! Awesome ride!
Come back soon!
Peace!

A very good friend, a very active bike polo & a rider himself, Thomas Metz sent me all these!
I'm digging them all especially those Karlsruhe logo & Monkey Mo stickys!
Without any hesitations, it's on my bike already!

Thanks Thomas!

Singapore Killers #1 - Interview with Bum Ariffin



1. How's life Bum?
Life's been ok, though I'm juggling college and work which at times gets abit stressfull.

2. How long have you been riding fixed gear?
If I remembered correctly, it's been 1 year and a few months. It was Christmas 08 that I first got a fixed bike. A Se Lager.

3. What are the achievements you've got so far?
The friendship that I have made while riding is a great achievement for me.

4. You're in photography, what bring you into it?
Well, back then after high school I was lost, (got kicked out from school and didn’t have anywhere to go) lucky for me that I had a little interest in Art. Got myself into Lasalle College of the Arts without any papers and then on, my interest for cameras flourish. And I have not regretted ever since.



5. 2010, what's next for you?
Focus in college, graduate and see where my path leads me to.

6. Where are you right now? What have you been up to?
Currently, I'm in my studio in college. I'm supposed to be in the lecture but decided to skip it to finish up an essay and also this!

7. Do you have a nickname in the fixed gear scene?
Bum? hahaha.

8. What do you fancy besides bikes?
Photography and old cameras.



9. Pick a spot in Asia to ride.
Hmmm that’s a tough one as I have not been to many places. I would say Hong Kong looks like a interesting place to ride (hinting) hahaha.

10. If given another chance, no bikes, what would you be rocking?
Cameras?

11. Girls or bikes?
Girls on bikes. Hehe!

Hahaha everytime when I ride.

I knew this was coming.
1 handlebar
1 lockring
1 seatpost
2 BBs
2 busted crank pedal threads
a few saddles
countless tubes and tyres
and the list goes on...

14. What is the most precious part on your bike?
I would say it's my saddle, though it's beat up like shit. That to me is the most important part. As the saddle some sort of chooses ur butt not you choosing the saddle (Harry Porter's shit going on here bro!) haha.



15. What's your favourite spot in Singapore?
I would say it's my void deck, that’s where me and Nas usually start banging all the tricks. It's cramp, tight as fuck but we love it. Besides that, it would be the central business district and lastly not forgetting the F1 banks!

Singapore Ride




Was in Singapore for a collabo shoot last week. And happened to ride around the town on the 1st nite, along with CAS's Bum, NookMag's Sim Cik & Tiffy.



Here are some of the flicks... Was really an awesome ride compared to Hong Kong as in the roads & traffic. The roads there are flatter with no killer hills & the CBD was a 100% fun! But the weather sucks though, it was so damn hot at 37'c!





Thanks to Bum & Sim Cik for the Satay @ LauPaSat & mashing around. And last but not least, I was brought to Haji Lane, a hip & happening lane located on the east side of the island. There I met up with the local boys, and I didn't miss visiting the well known local brand Sup Clothing, great stuff! Way to go Sup!







Thanks to you all for the great times!

See you all soon.

Ride safe!

Peace!

Though I do not understand the Portugese used on this magazine, but it looks rad to me!

Thanks Hugo! It's great to see that side of the world is pushing hard on this scene.
