Here’s a new mix I put together for The Northern Embassy. For anyone not familiar, the Embassy is a Canadian based site, put together to give more riders in Canada some shine. I’ve had some time on my hands with my injury (broken wrist), and the winter weather so I sorted through my hard drive and came up with this, I’ve got a couple messages asking if I am Ok, and yes, some of you may already know that my injury was provoked, but thankfully, the personal injury law firm I hired is already working on the case. I’ve been sitting on some stuff and I got some goods from homies I roll with in the Edmonton/Calgary area. And the Meth Mangler is the end result, check it. -Isaac Barnes

 

Meth Mangler Mix

 

Neighbor to world famous freestyler Woody Itson in So Cal, Brian grew up riding everything from ramps to dirt and street. As a BMX Plus! test rider, Brian joined S&M and filmed a ground breaking street section for our BMX Inferno video in late 1995. He went on to design the 4pc Castillo Bar in 1997 and appear on both DIG and RIDE UK covers shortly thereafter. In October of 1998 Brian left S&M to form Volume Bikes.

Between team riders and products past and present, we’ll be adding stuff to the site and dialing it in as we go. If you see something that looks odd, just leave a comment on the post and we’ll dig into it. Today’s addition is a young James Menard Levan…long time shredder and current roommate of our very own Sean Mckinney.

In addition to generally ripping at the track, on the streets and at the trails, the early 90’s saw Jimmy with a section in Feel My Leg Muscles, a GO Magazine Bio, and this BMX Plus! cover. Jimmy repped The Shield and always had a good time doing it until late 1996 when he left to ride for Huffy and then form Metal Bikes in 1998.

Whether he’s riding or filming, James Cox is a true original. The Union talks about a few of The Director’s firsts in BMX here.

Some people say magazines are a dying breed. I find that hard to believe since RIDEbmx is still around after 20 years and it’s better than ever. We support the mag however we can and look forward to each new issue. For a limited time RIDE will be giving away 2 inner tubes with each new subscription so get on it!

Tube RIDE!

 

Combing the tangled interweb to cop your S&M fix is a waste of time. Starting now, we’ll be hand clipping and delivering the finest content on our new site. Although strangely familiar, you’ll quickly realize this potent hybrid of info on S&M American manufacturing, commerce and community is a totally new bag.  As you push deeper into each strain, you’ll be relieved to find you can comment anonymously and thus drop your own BM into S&M BMX as often as you’d like.

DAS SITE UP!

Peter Olsen is officially shielded!
After watching this video you’ll probably notice Peter’s on another level with his physical skills, what’s not so obvious is the mental aspect of his riding- he’s very cerebral and conceptual and we’re stoked to see what he comes up with next. This collection of clips offers a brief glimpse into what’s going on in his world. One of the things I noticed is the fact that his shoes never touch a tire. PGO also has some of the most creative, cleanest pivots in the game. Welcome aboard Peter! — Chad Johnston
