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!
Are you particular about running a Pivotal but craving a cleaner-looking saddle to settle into? Allow us introduce our new Stealth Pivotal seat… a smooth, simple, Sharpie Shield-adorned number ergonomically-designed to delight your derriere while seated, that won’t get in your way while you’re standing on the pedals. Run it with our 320mm Long Johnson Stealth Pivotal post or any Stealth Pivotal or traditional Pivotal post (with socket extension). Wanna know more about this 9.3 oz beaut? Read all about it over on Ride‘s “Know Your Roll” column.
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!
We plucked Clint, Matty and Nutter out of the PA Woods and dropped ’em in Vegas to try their luck at Nora Cup tonight. The boys’ DIY video “Feel My Chest Muscles, I’m a Trail Builder” is up for the video of the year and Clint (and Hucker) are battling it out for Dirt Rider of the Year. Here’s hoping someone on the Shield Squad gets luckier than these boys did at the Hard Rock!
