Chris Childs

Full speed, Hell-bent and on the edge at all times. Chris Childs emerged from the East Coast with an explosive style that transcends all genres of BMX.  Chris seems to look at every setup with a different eye than most. If you see him cranking in your direction, stand back and watch.

Mike ‘Hucker’ Clark

D.O.B. September 28, 1987

FROM/LIVES IN: Huntington Beach, California

If you know anything about Hucker, you know he’s one radabonzical dude! Mike grew up in Shield-country and was sessioning Sheep Hills on an S&M way back when, but we didn’t make it official ‘till 2012.

With three industry-voted Dirt Jumper of the Year nods, countless contest podiums and a ridiculous bag of moves most would consider bonkers, there’s no denying that the dude owns dirt jumping… and he ain’t no slouch on tranny either. Hell, he even has vert in his resume.

And because just killing it on a bike would be boring, Mike jumps out of planes and hangs out on the bottom of the ocean when he wants to mix it up.

Charlie Crumlish

D.O.B.: APRIL 7, 1987

FROM: AMHERST, NEW YORK

LIVES IN: BUFFALO, NEW YORK

Charlie’s tall, but dat ain’t all! Mr. Crumlish is a technical wizard on the bike and in the edit booth — he definitely brings the wiggidty wock wock to both.

When he’s not riding, filming or editing, one might find Chuck building his BMXFU empire.

Lukas Halahan

Lukas is the elder Halahan man-child. He rides among the apes on the biggest sets in the woods, including at the Halahan’s own 9 Acres compound. With a driver’s license, a van and a burning desire to explore the world, you just might find him showing your spot a new line or two.

Nathan Halahan

The kids are alright. Nathan ranks second in seniority of the Halahan brood and was born into BMX. Although he still maintains teenager status, his riding is reaching the highest levels in terms of terrain. The biggest jumps and deepest bowls are where you’ll find Nate.

Mike Hoder

D.O.B.: OCTOBER 1, 1986

FROM: SEATTLE, WASHINGTON

Mike Hoder is Bigger Than Most, both on a bike and in person. From huge 360s and death drops to an après-ride reputation that precedes him, you’d be hard-pressed to find a dude more down for the cause than Hoder.

Born and raised in Seattle, Mike’s bounced around NYC and SoCal, but is outspokenly Northwest for life.

Hoder joined the squad in 2010 and wrote himself into the history books as one of S&M’s most notorious characters shortly thereafter… being the first dude to 360 El Toro and inking a Shield on your face will do that.

Dave Krone

Any wave, any time. The enigmatic Dave Krone is known to schralp terrains of all types, on his own terms, Dave’s riding is creative, stylish and powerful. The dude definitely zigs where others zag.

FROM: Jacksonville, OR

LIVES IN: Portland, OR

Aryei has been part of the Shield for a big portion of his young life and has grown to become a standout part of our program. With the ATF XL frame being developed to his all-terrain preferences, he knows what he wants out of BMX and he’s going to get it.

Dan Norvell

You don’t earn the nickname “DGAF” by following strict lifestyle guidelines.  Dan Norvell is certainly a caring person in his personal life, but on the bike, he takes a wild and creative approach to everything in his path. None given.

Craig Passero

D.O.B.: JANUARY 25, 1990

FROM/LIVES IN: Long Island, New York

Craig Passero’s riding, like his signature accessory, is a spectacle. Heavy on the tech, with some gnar on occasion, Craig’s video and web parts always bring the heat. When he’s not the filmee, Craig enjoys the role of filmer.

Passero is a product of the North East, where he still resides. Craig’s crewed up pretty hard too. He’s a FU man, an OSS soldier and an upstanding member of the S&M squad since 2014.

Clint Reynolds

D.O.B.: AUGUST 21, 1985

FROM: DERRY, NEW HAMPSHIRE

LIVES IN: NEW PALTZ, NEW YORK

They don’t come much cooler than Clint Reynolds. The New Hampshire native turned Austinite, welds his own frames, builds some of the best trails in the business and shreds everything in sight with style to spare.

Clint started building frames for himself and his buddies back in high school after his pops, a bike-welder by trade, showed him the ropes. He and his crew joined forces with S&M in 2012 so that woodsmen the world over could roast dirt curls on a Credence.

S&M has always been a D.I Y.  operation… add likeminded dudes like Clint and his boys Matty Aquizap and James P. Nutter to the equation and the stoke is high. Credence X S&M -as legit as it gets.
