We decided to mark this milestone - the one hundredth episode of Factory Friday - with a look at the men and women who keep the Shield and Key rockin' on a daily basis! (Plus a peek at the now-in-stock-but-mostly-sold-out-so-hopefully-your-local-shop-got-one Edwin BTM frames plus a new pink John Nelson Mixtape colorway).
Filmed in the run up to my 50th birthday. Same old stunts, trying my best to keep hold of them.
Corey Walsh, Gary Young, Dennis Enarson, Perris Benegas, Justin Spriet, Tom Dugan, and Noah Miranda. SAY LESS! Enjoy.

The FAT Favorites list:
-Spot to ride: I love Deck park in AZ, UC Irvine is a big skatepark, and honestly any spot that requires creativity.
-BMX video: Well, I have an Anthem II tattoo… but also Talk is Cheap is an extremely influential video for me.
-Website: Croooober.com is the website for Japan’s used car part shop UpGarage and I spend far too much time searching for everything from wheels to shift knobs.
-Web video: I’ve probably watched Tammy McCarley’s Blunted Athletics 2013 remix more times than anything else, but also I love all of Rob Diquattro’s edits both for himself and Hood Antics
-Food: A good steak… Medium rare.

Matt's part in F-IT ALL (as well as his riding in general) carries heavy super-human vibes. But its not all first T's for Nordy - dude puts in work!
Ukraine's Andrii Nesterov has been working on this one since 2020 with his friends and filmers Yaroslav Gbag, Sokrat Maslov and David Minorov and damn did he do a great job! From enormous setups to a ridiculously dialed tailwhip game, Andrii certainly isn't scared!
