Dagger Time

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!

 

Hucker Goes Hollywood

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!

 

S.M.O.G.

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.

 

Stealthy

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.

 

Deah Clint!

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!

 

Tryin’ Their Luck

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!

 

Get a Pair!

Mike Hoder’s signature grips are made in the USA by ODI from a Super Soft compound for the feel Mike wanted. At 31.5mm they are a little Bigger Than Most to help cushion some of Hoder’s infamous landings. Head over to The Come Up for a review on these bad boys by Adam 22.

 

Cowan-bunga

Bevan Cowan is a Kiwi on a walkabout. He’s been mostly Australian-based for awhile now, which is where most of this edit was filmed. Regardless of where in the Southern Hemisphere Bevan’s shredding, he sure gets rad in this one!

 

Passero in Print
