We waited a few weeks before throwing this bad boy up on the interwebs hoping some of you could see the mag in living color first, but the time has come to formally congratulate Hoder on his RIDE cover and interview. If for some reason you haven’t checked it out yet, you can always subscribe to the digi version now!
We dropped this Charlie Crum creation at The Building Jam on Saturday and the stoke was HIGH. Check out the trailer for the biking movie we’re making above and get ready, it’s about to be brung!
Craig Passero crafted this little nug to herald the unveiling of his signature grip, and truth be told, it’s just downright delightful. Old skool, cool, urban awesomeness from Craig and his compadres. And that PASSERO GRIP is a’ight too! Soft, dual-patterned and available now in Black, Clear and Glow in the Dark.
S&M is a rider-run enterprise, and we ride it all… rails, trails, flatland and park. Problem was, we didn’t really have a low-slung park frame in our arsenal for dudes like our Q.C. craftsman Tyler Halvorsen. Tyler is a great park rider, so when we took a stab at designing the Dagger, we solicited his input to dial ‘er in. Read all about it over on Ride’s Know Your Roll feature on the frame… The first run is available in Chrome, Gloss Black and glow-in-the-dark Sublime.
The Come Up did a podcast with Charlie when he was in town filming with the team for the full-length last month, so check it out if you’re looking to learn more about the man! Topics include how he ended up biking for S&M, dick blood and runnin’ FU-BARS real forwarrrrrd. Oh, and if you missed it and are interested, watch our animals out in the wild on the S&M x ONSOMESHIT WEEDISODE that dropped last week.
Mike Hucker and Corey Bohan take Sydney by storm in this six-minute rework of the 80’s cult classic “BMX Bandits” and you’ve got to watch it! If it wasn’t obvious Hucker was stuck in the 80’s before, this seals the deal. Good stuff!
Clint Reynolds collected some hardware for the “Boys in the Woods” when he took home Nora Cup No. 1 Dirt Rider last night, even though the lights went off for a bit, they used a tactical flashlight to work it out. Stoked for him and also for Hucker who was nominated too and had that cup on lock the three years prior. Team Shield’s dirt game is strong! Proud of you boys!
Craig Passero and his signature WHAMMO frame straight ownin’ a crooked rail in our latest Ride ad.
Somehow, some 30 years in… an S&M rider had never actually won an X Games medal. Mike “Hucker” Clark changed all that when he nabbed the Silver in BMX Dirt in Austin in June 2015… shit, up until the last second, it even looked like it was gonna be a Gold. Regardless, we’re proud as punch of our main man Mike. Good stuff dude!
Big Mike’s got that wrap game (notice we didn’t say RAP game) on lock. We recently released the ENDURO stem and X-MAN and X-MAN GUARD sprockets in Hoder’s signature BTM wrap, so grab it while we got it, playas.
Two hands coming together make a wonderful sound, so lets give it up for the newest member of the Shield Squad, Darryl Nau. Enterprising Emcee, International Playboy, and All-Around Good Human… who wouldn’t want a dude like that repping your wares. Shield-adorned fanny packs and Hammer pants coming soon? Welcome to the team Darryl!
You know that massive dirt-hucking event Cam White throws in Australia every year? Well, Hucker went and won the damn thing again. He’s earned King of the Hill honors at least four times now… maybe more? We lost track. Looking forward to the footy of the lumber’huck’ual in action! Congrats Mike… on the win and that beard!
