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

 

On Oct. 1, 1987 a BMX treasure was born. And today – 39-years later – we are proud to present 30-minutes of Hoder and his homies mobbin’ around Seattle doing what he does best… blasting shit and having a blast on his bike. This fool loves riding bikes with his friends and the whole world loves watching him do it! Make sure to drop a comment or hit him up to let him know he’s the best. Happy Birthday Hoder! Filmed & edited by Jacob Ruff

HODER CAM: PEDAL MORE

 

S&M Bikes at 2023 ACT JAM

The ACT Jam in Canberra, Australia is quite a time… and we wanted in on it! That’s why we sent some of our dirtiest dirt dawgs from the US, New Zealand and Oz in a van train to the big show to run around with the pack!The jam was the final destination on our Aussie Rules tour, of which Stew Johnson captured in our soon-to-be-realeased “Aussie Rules” DVD. Enjoy this mayhem and get ready for more when the full vid is released!

 

Welcome to the Team Nathan Saunders

You know who’s nice with it? Nathan “Meanhorse” Saunders – your newest kidd on the block doing it via New Zealand for the Rambler Division! Nate and Luke Halahan filmed this Welcome Edit with Meanhorse in New Zealand earlier this and we’re amped as to officially welcome Meanhorse and his nice goat, Steinlager, to the team. More baaaaadness from the Rambler boys coming soon! Makes sure to follow him if you aren’t already. Dude’s the truth!

 

 

MADDOG FRAME OUT NOW

Throw a dog a wishbone! And a disc brake, with a tall stand-over, but keep it light (sub 5lbs) and you’ve got yourself the reincarnated Chris “Mad Dog” Moeller frame. It only took 36 years for S&M’s Top Dawg to drop another bike custom-crafted for his breed of biking, but much like the original, its designed for dudes who want to terrorize the trails and the track and claim their territory doing it.

 

Jason Ball Sig. L.A.M.F. Frame

Jason “Timmy” Ball is about as S&M as it gets. The Colorado-raised racer turned dirt jumper showed up on the Sheep Hills scene in ’94 and never left. From Team Rider to Shipping Manager to Shop Manager – Balls has been holding it down for S&M in a big way for 30+ years. Second only to Moeller in tenure at The Building and embodying the ride ’em on Sunday, build ’em on Monday ethos better than anyone – it seemed fitting that our favorite punk rock, shop boss should put his signature steed into production. You can’t put your arms around a memory, but you can wrap ’em around a L.A.M.F. frame. Out now!

 

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!

 

STAHLID EDIT

If there’s something sick to shred, in your neighborhood… who you gonna call? Mike Staaaaahlllllllll! Nearly five minutes of fresh-ass moves from your main man Mike. PSA – your boy’s got a sig colorway of the Holy Diver you should wish to procure his tools of the trade!

 

INTRODUCING RAMBLER

Lukas Halahan nonchalantly blasts like he was born with a turbo button and Nathan Halahan is certified, Grade A(pe) good at riding little bikes on big piles of dirt. Both are already making good on #lifegoals to roam around the world building and boosting said soil mounds for the foreseeable future. The Halahan brothers might be young, but they possess wisdom beyond their years, and they’ve already figured out that it’s the journey not the destination. Introducing Rambler – a new trail-centric line from S&M x Lukas & Nate Halahan. See you down the road… #shieldbmx #rambler

 

 

HUCKER’S BUILT DIFFERENT

Do they come built more different than Mike “Hucker” Clark. We thinks not. Buy a DVD or the Full Digital Download here.

 

9Acres: “Potoz & Doyle”

After a few years of of mentoring the Halahan kids deep in the woods, we were able to coax some of the local trail apes out into the open and even capture them on camera in their natural habitat! Mark Potozcny, Chris Doyle and more make guest cameos in this episode of 9 Acres featuring Nate, Shane and Kaci Halahan shredding their yard with friends, cousins and local legends…. any the M.O.Doyle Frame in Dirtbike Yellow (avail. at fine bike shops near you – if you’re lucky).
