INTRO

Watching the video “Wolfpack Riviera” of Track Bike Total War’s guys, we have had that feeling that we like when you see a job well done: independent, radical and, above all, original and different to what makes most people. It’s like the first time you have heard a “Slayer”.

We probably understand what is the essence of TBTW, do what you like, giving everything, just for the fun of doing it.

The TBTW project started about a year and a half, from the union of ideas from one group of friends who are in the environment of fixed gear and alleycats between Milan, Genoa, Rapallo, Novara and Torino. The crew of TBTW is mainly composed of eight members among riders, filmakers, photographers… and is constantly growing and evolving.

“We wanted to offer something different respect to the conventional view of the bicycle, competitions and especially fixed gear, something that would unite our personal visions and our backgrounds… Something hard, radical and without any commitment”

ESSENCE

Basically it is a mistake catalogue TBTW as a simple video-production between fixed passionate colleagues. It is much more; the crew reflects 110% lifestyle of who is part of it. The horde, so to speak, being together and sharing ideas and passions, mountain, hill-bombing and ride at full speed through the traffic of the city.

“We believe in what we do and we do it because we like it, period”

Somehow, we can say that TBTW has a vision of cycling beyond the conventional, almost like these guys live the fixed gear and cycling as a form of freedom and expression and not as a mere sport. Talking with Stefano, Federico and Daniele, we have seen people who do what they like, out of the fashion and the conventional cycling.

SACRO MACELLO

“No words… who has been, deserves respect

It’s a race where you get respect and glory … instead of prizes. It is a race where the simple fact of being there is the center of everything; the results go to the background.

The last year has been the most hardcore race of usual track bikes. Our philosophy is very close to this type of race. Marianel and Cani Sciolti Valtellina who organized Sacro Macello are masters and constant source of inspiration to us.”

WOLFPACK RIVIERA

Genoa is an ideal atmosphere for TBTW’s video of full horde, hills, traffic, wide handlebars (big bars), music all out and ride at full speed.

The video is entertaining and fun, you can take away the look of the screen and when finishes you want to take your fixie and go out to do the thug on the street.

The video is recorded in two days during an Alleycat and on the hills of the Riviera, it is a small statement cycling concept of this band.

“Running with the track bike around the city, traffic, a group of riders, adrenaline, skills, lots of control and screams of madness … all of this often exaggerated, probably disrespectful and dangerous in the eyes of so many people but undoubtedly true 100%.”

RAGNAROK

The next TBTW’s project is called Ragnarok, event to be held next June 6 in mountains near Biella (between Milan and Turin), a mountain race on paved roads only for fixed gear. 50 km of uphill and mountain bombing, a hard, raw and epic race, pure TBTW’s style, where the challenge is yourself, where the glory is gained in every meter of asphalt every drop of your own sweat. Do not miss it!
