Mother Hucker
Ride catches up with our resident dirt surfer Mike Hucker to talk story and check the swell…ness of his HUCKER build.
The Name Game!
Show ’em who smokin’ em! Pre-order our new-and-improved Retro No. 1 Jersey between now and Nov. 15 (for mid-Dec. delivery) and we’ll throw your name on the back for $FREE.99! Old-school design, new-school, astronaut-approved, moisture-wicking mesh and longer cut – all we do is WIN WIN WIN! (NOTE: we don’t discriminate – your name long? It’ll get in where it fit in – the letters might just be a wittle smaller).
Jam on It Edit
Here’s a moving picture from our Nightmare on Lyon Street Jam over the weekend. Hoder went ape with the glue gun to craft that Geico Money Man suit with his HODER GRIP packaging, so push pause after Trevy humps the bars 17 seconds in and admire his handy work. Shouts to Evan’s Brewery for the beer and everyone who came for the camaRADerie!
Hoder / Crumlish / Party
Two of The Shield’s finest, Mike Hoder and Charlie Crumlish, will be in the house this weekend for our NIGHTMARE ON LYON ST Jam. We’ll have a 10′ quarter, a box jump, Slidepipes and hotdogs to session starting at 4pm and fellow #BUILDINGBOYZ (Fit’s Tommy Dugan, Brandon Begin, Ethan Corriere, Morgan Long and Justin Spriet) will be debuting their recent project FIT HORROR PICTURE at 7:30. Wear a costume and bring your bike!
Mike Vita Yooooooo!
Mike V comes through with his first full edit for the Shield! Welcome brother!

BTM Built for a Bosshog
Linwood “Bosshog” Monk, who recently relocated to Long Beach from the Beast Coast, started showing up at The Building with his boy (shredder and our new customer service man) Mike Stahl several weeks ago. After he arrived at Interbike with a wild tale about getting his steed stolen while he was sleeping on it in a homie’s hallway, getting the Bosshog rolling again with a Trans Blue BTM build we’d built for the booth seemed like the most logical course of action. Looks like he’s puttin’ it to good use!
What A Nightmare!
You and a few hundred of your closest friends are cordially invited to get weird at our “Nightmare on Lyon Street” Jam being held on Saturday, Oct. 29 at 4pm. Shred the slidepipe with the pros, inhale some hallo-weiners and then stay for a secret screening of a non-disclosed moving picture premiering at 7pm. Wear a costume if you want a shot at winning a new whip, ’cause we’ll be rewarding radness in the dress up department. 1300 S. Lyon Street, Santa Ana, Calif – see you there!
We Dig Dorame
Dig’s got an interview up with our dude Derek Dorame that you should definitely check out. And you know our Nuevo Mexicano still steady stackin’ for that full-length!
Jumpin’ Dirty
The one and only Clint Reynolds is up for Dirt Jumper of the Year at tonight’s Nora Cup Awards. Will the reigning dude of Deah repeat? Will he haul the hardware back to The Building for fifth year in a row (Hucker took home the title in 2012, 2013 and 2014? We’ll know later tonight, but one thing’s for sure, both those boys will be having a blast on their bikes regardless … which is probably why they’ve earned the recognition they have. They’re doing it right.
22 Inch Long Johnson
Dem #BUILDINGBOYZ coming through with a cool-ass collab kids. We’re building up the FIT BF22 for Interbike today, and since we spec’d that bad boy with some aftermarket S&M goodies, including the not-yet-released 22″ SPEEDBALL tires (out in October) we figured we share a lil’ sneak peek. Also noteworthy, the LONG JOHNSON STEALTH PIVOTAL and STEALTH PIVOTAL SEAT on this shred sled come with a quick-release clamp allowing you to adjust your seat height on the fly for bar crawls and trail sessions accordingly.
Graphite and Purp? So Money.
Mike Hoder’s ever-so-popular signature grip is now available in graphite and purple. So go on and get you some, you already know they’re money.
Pegless Soldier
Another stellar display of Chad Johnston’s signature brand of pegless flatland peppered with kaleidoscopes of his signature frame, fork and bars. Push play already!
