Ines & the Natooke Team
Asia Fixed Gear Championships
The Natooke had a small team of excited racers go to the Asian Fixed Gear Championships (AFGC) in Shenzhen. We participated in almost all the competitions and did really well. We came back to Beijing with two 1st places, four 2nd places and three 3rd places. Well done team Natooke!
AFGC Bike Fun
The AFGC started Saturday with tricks and alleycat with a fun after party with prize ceremony at night. Next day there were more fixed gear races and also bike polo. Natooke team made 3rd place even though some of the players were playing for the first or second time. And they think it is really fun. Come out and try out bike polo even if you just got your first bike.
