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!
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!
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 “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!
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!
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!
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!
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
Do they come built more different than Mike “Hucker” Clark. We thinks not. Buy a DVD or the Full Digital Download here.
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).
Posting a BLOG on the ol’ WWW. to let you know that if you’ve been missing us on Instagram, it’s ’cause some internet pirates are after our booty! We can’t say we aren’t enjoying the break though. Figured we’d let ya’ll know you aren’t blocked… and that we appreciate your concern. The good news is, since we’re technically in the business of making bike parts – not social media posts – it’s really just business as usual. Also… good thing we moved Factory Friday over to YouTube huh? The one and only Stew Johnson was in the building for last week’s episode, and hows about dem new HUCKER decals!
Fifteen-year-old Ike Duly – who hails from Bexhill on Sea, UK – is a card carrying member of The Jump Club a crew of Next Gen shredders riding everything. Check out Ike’s new C.C.R. build and do yourself a favor… make sure to keep your eye on this guy!
