Fathead Bling
Just a little out and about in the UK streets with Alex Barton-Holme, a.k.a. Fathead. One day, one sesh, one love.

Pete Olsen’s pivot game is on point! Dude’s taken his style to the next level and if you enjoy flatland, you should indulge immediately!

There’s been some flatland fever running hot around The Building the past couple weeks. Here’s some INTRIKAT action outta the UK courtesy of James White and we’re in the process of uploading a new one from the Great White North’s Peter Olsen as we speak too. More mad creativity popping off on everyone’s favorite stripped-down, straight-forward flatland frame!
Has the S&M-lover in your life been a little naughty this year? Yea, we figured as much. Hook ’em up anyway with an assortment of stocking-sized awesomeness! Half-gloves, socks, coasters, koozies, lighters, flasks, air freshers, buttons… we could go on. Nab ’em now and cross that ish of your list!

Derek Dorame dropped a new one over on the TCU that you should watch fo sho!

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.

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.
