AURORA velcro straps
A big thank you for all the support and kind words.

Nico from Fixed Gear Braunschweig:
“I rode the straps for weeks, and I can honestly say that these are a solid solution for foot retention on a fixed gear for tricks. They are great. Good fit, comfy, and your bike control increase drastically from straps and clips. Hand-made in Germany and you’ll NEVER need to buy toe clips again! Definitely worth the money.”

Ole from Fixed Gear Norway:
“These straps are amazing in traffic! Feels like a real, comfy upgrade from my MKS cages. They are practically designed to bomb hills and spin around in Oslo’s challenging streets. Get a pair of your own…”

We received a lot orders in the first two weeks and send out most of the them so far, but still hard working on getting the rest done.
We are really sorry if it takes a while for some customers.
The straps are all handmade and we only do them in our spare time, since we got jobs and school to do.
Another thing for a possible delay is the german post, we ship the straps as a letter to keep the shipping costs low, but as a post office clerk told me, shipping over seas can take up to 5-6 weeks. So keep this in mind while waiting.

We are looking for a faster method to ship, but there are not really many possibilities for a decent price.

I put the straps offline in the onlineshop, so that we can get all orders done. They will be online again in about a week.

The straps are back online now. We decided to choose another shipping method. It’s just slightly faster for over sea shipping, but its registered and secure. So it might take some time, but will def. arrive. This adds around 2,15€ to every package i send out, so i added 2€ to the normal strap price.

I think most of you agree that this is the best way to do it.

Ride safe!

Review: eye catcher – art fanzine by tarkinson

eye catcher art fanzine - cover

received a little letter the other day and found a sweet handmade art fanzine inside.
my old flickr street art fellow tarkinson made it and it looks pretty nice.
he did it the old cut and paste way and it came out great.

in the introduction he mentioned that he choose this way of doing it due to the fact he is very bad in graphicdesign. althought the layout looks decent and it has a graphical touch.
tarkinson put a lot of work in this zine and talked with a lot artists. there are interviews with J.C Torre from munich, the tattoo artist fide from berlin, artinf, kashone, the art collective “group of 10“, a interview with slurkle from stickerminions, something about Eep & Anthead from Theory Propaganda and of course a tiny interview with myself…talking about aurora.
