“For 15 years, American-made S&M Pitchforks have set the strength and reliability standards by which all other forks are judged…”

Until 1999, when Odyssey introduced the 41-Thermal process. Now, five years later, every company in BMX, including S&M, is pursuing “lightweight” forks and “heat-treated” tubing in hopes of reaching the precedent set by the same company that once brought you products as ridiculous as the Barefeet Tire and the Leading Edge saddle in the mid 1980

Ryan Sher and I were in a race/rally to Vegas. Starting in Hollywood and ending in Miami, we went on the Hollywood to Vegas leg. It was pretty crazy, some guys flew thier cars over from europe. Rich people have to do some crazy things to have fun. I wasn’t as much a race as an excuse to drive fast and party at the stops everynight. We did get to drive on a race course, it was nuts.
We drove Ryans Trans Am.
Enjoy.

-These are NOT available yet. These are PROTOTYPES. We will tell you when they are coming out, when we know.

– Three lever handle shapes options will be available. The handle shapes are small (as shown in Transworld(TOP)), medium (MIDDLE) and trigger (identical to the original trigger lever shape(LOWER)). They all use the same 7/8, front clamping, slim bracket.

– The pivot and clamp hardware is identical and replaceable to address the possible long-term thread stripping issues that can happen with most levers.

– single cable only(hence the name MONOlever)

– A dual cable (modulever) version that uses the same lever shapes will be available at a later date.

This weekend, at the Vans triple crown, Mike Aitken and Gary Young got fourth place in Dirt and Street, respectively. I heard their runs were awesome, and everyone in Salt Lake had a good time.

Congrats to them, even though I bet they were more fun to watch then 1st-3rd. But I wasn’t even there, so who am I to talk, or to bet…I was in Atlantic City avoiding “tonys” and loosing money. Craps doesn’t have as good odds as they say. I just continued to say “crap”. Maybe I should have bet on 4 on the the roulette table.

Golf shirt. Tennis shirt. BMX shirt.
For those of you who need to switch it up from the 5 black t-shirts you have on permanent rotation, the Bear Stripes is for you. Your mom will think you’ve grown up. (or jumped an old man for his clothes)
Represent California(or any other state that may have a bear on their flag).
Perfect sunday best, now you can worship your favorite BMX company while sleeping during services.
Throw on a tie, perfect job interview gear.
Tie a sweater around your neck, go play polo.
You have no idea the power of the “collar”
You will get better grades, higher pay, and more dates. Promise.

Light Blue in Small, Medium, and Large.
available soon…

We got a bunch of samples today. They are looking good. So far everything we got is correct. Which only means that the odds that they go into full production soon, are very good.

We will show some of them at the SubDivision BMX trade show in Binghamton, NY, May 27th-29th.
After the show Nuno and I will be going on a trails mission, so if anyone has any good spots in Long Island, don’t hesitate to tell us.

There is a contest in Arizona this weekend. You should go.

Matt Beringer was riding with the T-1 guys last week in Utah.

Ever heard of Critical Mass? Its the last friday of every month, and its a ride to promote bicycle riding and awareness. While its mostly road riders, I went to the local CM meeting spot last week and ended up meeting 3 BMXers that live in my neighborhood. Its a fun time riding in the streets usually dominated by cars. I found a ton of street spots I probably never would have seen otherwise. promote the idea of “one less car” or as FBM would put it “Blow up your car, ride a bike”.
