Mike was originally from Bethlehem PA but moved to CA in the early 90’s to live at the POW house and was way ahead of his time with bar spin variations, crank flips, and all sorts of burly tech moves on dirt, mini ramps and street. He had really good parts in 44 Something and BMX Inferno that influenced a whole new generation to ride differently. Griffin could skate good too and prided himself on having bad tattoos! He left the team in 1998 to ride for Metal Bikes.

Clint Reynolds had been building frames since he was a wee lad, but after spending some time in our Santa Ana shop laying beads on his very first S&M frame in May 2012, Clint and his boys Matty and Nutter decided to don the Shield!
After hanging around plenty as a grom and doing it for Redline for awhile, Hucker finally found his way home to So Cal based S&M Bikes in Jan 2012. Huck Yea dude!

Mike Hoder’s signature frame came into the world in Sept. 2012 – nine months after he joined the team. As far as what BTM stands for? Who knows, ask Hoder.
Bigger is better right? Perfect 10’s are the biggest bars we make.
Hoder’s signature handlebar ushered in the “bigger bar” trend and in hindsight, was really the original XL bar BMX offered. Mike wanted his bars taller, so he didn’t have to hunch over, and wider for stability and comfort. The geometry is similar to our ever-popular Slam Bar, so it automatically feels familiar. The Hoder Bar is made in the USA from post-weld heat-treated and butted 4130.
