Dew Sippawit

BIO:

Easily the biggest name in Fixed Gear to come out of Thailand, Dew Sippawit was exposed to the FGFS masses in 2011 through his famous Birthday Edit, which currently has over 60 thousand plays sitting on Vimeo.

He didn’t come out of nowhere though. Signs of his future greatness were being displayed throughout videos in 2010 and early 2011 on his 700c setup thanks to his background in BMX. Sadio recognized his talent early and he became one of the first team riders for the brand rocking the Booster frame.

Grind tricks at his level were hard to come by. Ice pick barspins, smith barspins, tooth hanger barspins, tailwhips, and even more untouched tricks were being done by Dew with ease, even while he was on 700c. After his Birthday edit dropped in June of 2011, he started gaining international success and was accepted with open arms by the wider community.

Within Thailand, Dew was a nation-wide celebrity; starring in all kinds of media and even appearing on a Doritos bag. In 2011 the Thailand Fixed Master Round 2 competition took place where he would meet Ed Wonka and Mike Schmitt, making connections with the western FGFS world. Ed and Dew tied for first place at the event, showing the world that Dew was up there with the top names in the sport. From this trip and connection, he would appear in a Grime video showcasing most of the Sadio team and further exposing him to the mainstream scene.

Dew was invited to the 2013 Red Bull Ride + Style competition alongside Jaoa Danaikrit, where they would be hosted by Matt Reyes and friends. On this trip they would make friendships, film street, and competed on the biggest stage for FGFS, where Jaoa would land a top 10 finish. They were both invited back for the next year though, where Dew would place 7th.

Dew was featured in some of the biggest videos in FGFS videos to date, including Word Is Bond, Can’t Fool The Youth 2 and 3, Lucid, and multiple Wheel Talk and Black Sunday videos. With all these accomplishments, it was only right for Dew to be placed on the prestigious SKYLMT team in late 2013. A signature frame for him was in the works until the company was defunct in 2015. A similar situation would occur with Capone Bikes in 2015, where Dew was promised a signature frame, but the product failed to come to fruition and the company would no longer produce goods.

After this, Dew would take a step back from Fixed Gear to focus on family and BMX.
