Another Simple Session has come and gone, but the memories (if the dudes remember them) will last forever. Charlie Crumlish (pictured here in this Nathan Beddows shot from practice), A.J. Anaya and Fathead flew the Shield Flag for us in Estonia this year, and to be honest, we consider the fact that none of our riders were arrested this year a win.
The first half of the event will be in downtown Santa Ana, California, in typical Street Swarm form. Meet at the train station at 1000 Santa Ana Blvd. at 1pm. The second half will be at S&M HQ starting around 3:30 p.m. with ramps, live music, a BBQ, free prizes & Red Bull to toss out to the crowd. Here’s a sweet edit of last year’s S.A. Swarm to get ya’ll fired up for Sunday!
Beringer’s been rockin’ the same beanie for close to a decade (at least), so who better to usher in this reissue of our S&M Retro Woven Beanie than Matt? #shieldbmx baby.
It’s St. Valentines Day… and perhaps you already have a Perfect 10 to love on, but if you don’t, there’s no need to fret. We just released this smokin’ Perfect 10 in Smoke Chrome that’s just beggin’ to be taken home. Like all good things, she’s only available in limited quantities, so act fast if you want to get your mitts on her!
How ’bout a little Canadian flatland from Peter Olsen folks? Peter was trying to go for, “shorter “complete” tricks that were fresh for me and felt good. I’ve always liked the aesthetic of simplified riding and that was in the back of my mind when I was filming.” Mission accomplished.
Birthday shout out being sent across the pond for our boy James Cox today. Hope you have a fine one mate! In other UK happenings, Bambi has a bike check up on the 4Down site you should check out!
The Credence Crew are wintering in Puerto Rico for a couple weeks and they sent through this awesome shot of Aquizap soaking up some salt air. Follow the dudes on Instagram @credence_bikes to see what coping with that Carribean life looks like!
In an awesome turn of events, folks in Taiwan are ordering American-made frames from Santa Ana. Behold Huang Stanley’s custom teal BTM. You want it, we make it. It’s en route to Taipei City now Huang, enjoy!
