Lost & Found: Bonesaw
Isaac “Bonesaw” Barnes is the business. Dude’s got his own sig frame out via 1664, is clipping for the new video and finding old footage to delight us in the meanwhile.

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.
Why would an Austin, Texas-based shop and mailorder like EMPIRE BMX bother associating with a loudmouth lad from the UK like Fathead? Good question, probably for the same reasons we do… everyone loves a good LOL!
Mike “Hucker” is a mad man.
Clint Reynolds roasts. Hear from his peers why they were stoked he earned No. 1 Dirt Jumper of the Year honors at Ride’s NORA Cup awards this year.
The boys are in the back tackin’ up the DAGGER today, our ultra-responsive park frame that drops in two weeks time. It’s got a low BB and standover, a steep head angle, a short rear end and threaded chain tensioners… ie. it’s a killer frame for slayin’ the park. We’re gonna send a super limited run of them, along with the 26mm WIDEMOUTH forks to powdercoat for glow-in-the-dark Sublime lime, so if you wanna take a stab at nabbin’ one of those kits, you’d better tell your local shop to pre-order one for you stat!
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!
There’s been a lot of purty ladies popping up in the S&M Owner’s Group lately, so if you’re partial to perusing bike porn, set aside a little time to get a good look. You’re welcome.
Race ’em on Sunday, slang ’em on Monday! Just a reminder to all you fast cats, that if you’ve got a need for speed, we got you! Trackmark tires, 9″ and 8.25″ Race XLT bars and Clamp Down grips, just the beginning of what we’re bringing on race day. Take a spin around our store for more!
