Dirt rules! So does Australia… and Jon “Termite” Mackellar, James “Jimmah” Pease and their Kiwi mate Joe Simpson. Which is why we decided to export some of the USA’s finest Grade A apes in Clint Reynolds, Nate Halahan and Aryei Levenson and with the help of some of Oz’s biggest trail technicians, graze the lot of them from Sydney to Canberra and back again. Bowls for breakfast, rails for lunch and dirt for dinner… it was a smorgasbord and Stew Johnson caught it all on camera. Dirt rules! ALSO! We are giving away FREE AUSSIE RULES / DIRT RULES DVDs with every purchase on www.thebuildingdistro.com all OCTOBER!

AUSSIE RULES

 

REA in RVA

You could watch a Hallmark movie or you could enjoy this feel good film featuring Aryei Levenson enjoying RADshare’s Rumble in Richmond and some satellite savagery around the city. What started out as a team trip (until Nate and Lukas Halahan’s flights got cancelled and Kole Voelker broke his collarbone) turned into Clint Reynolds and Aryei repping The Shield at the Rumble followed by Aryei’s extended stay in Richmond at Crandall’s Air BnBus! This is a good watch!

 

REA x S&M x PRO

We’ve been rocking with REA for almost a decade (which is saying something since he’s only 17) and we could not be prouder to add this absolute savage to the PRO TEAM. You’re a legend in the making kid.. your legit love of BMX and RIDE EVERYTHING (ridiculously well) ethos have earned you a permanent spot in S&M’s history and you’re just getting started! Congrats Aryei – we heart you! Keep doing you and BMX will be a better place because of it!

 

ATF XL x ARYEI LEVENSON

Sixteen-year-old Aryei Levenson is literally double the size he was when we first started sponsoring him half his lifetime ago. So when it came time to give him a signature colorway, we had to think BIG! Enter the ATF XL – let @ripe_lyfe break it down for you! Film and edit by Stew Johnson. 

 

Coloradical Vacation!

Thirty-five years in the Bike Biz is a great excuse to gather, and that’s just what we did! Some radical dudes, the Moeller family Minnie Winnie and a bunch of BMX-to-the-bone lifers converging on our new Southwest CO trail spot to play in the dirt! Featuring Chris Moeller, Clint Reynolds, Mike Hoder, Aryei Levenson, Kole Voelker, Def Paul and a slew of otro amigos! Filmed and edited by the one and only Stew Johnson.

 

Aryei’s Sig. Purple Haze ATF XL colorway!

Aryei Levenson took his favorite aspects of every S&M frame and we combined them into the ATF XL.  It’s a stretched out ATF with a taller 5″ head tube, 9″ standover and extended top tube sizes up to 22″ for the tall set. Aryei picked out the “Purple Haze” colorway, too. The perfect all-terrain BMX frame. Aryei walks us through the build of his new bike at Goods BMX in PDX. Check out the full specs on the ATF XL here.

 

 

“IT’S ALL THE SAME $H!T” – EXTENDED CUT

When you’re mobbing with the Fit and S&M boys, the camera never stops rolling. Take a look at the raw, uncut timeline from the “It’s All The Same Shit” video.
Featuring: Tom Dugan, Brad Simms, Justin Spriet, John Nelson, Coltin Knudson, Mike Hoder, Mike “Hucker” Clark, “DGAF” Dan Norvell, Aryei Levenson, and Kareem Williams.

 

Aryei Slays!

Aryei Levenson started filming for this project when he was 12-years-old. Battling injuries, Northwest weather and the logistics of meeting up with Shad Johnston (Good’s BMX shop-owner) to film when circumstances allowed, meant the project took a little longer than originally anticipated. We anticipate — that like us –you’ll agree that putting out an edit this sick at 13, is confirmation Aryei is well ahead of the curve. Check out the Grilled we did with him a couple months back to learn even more about our dude!

 

 

Aryei on the Eighteen

Aryei Levenson, a.k.a. Ripe Lyfe, just turned 13 and built up 20″ Whammo. Here’s a stack of sick Insta clips of our boyeee on his 18″ ATF for archival purposes, ’cause you know you’re gonna wanna look back at this ‘ish and say you knew ’bout him when….
