Checking in With Joel Barnett who just built up an FBM custom, lightning fast supertherm badass bike with extra high fives. Joel had been riding an Autopilot and finally decided to retire it. Look for shred pics soon. FBM’s machine shop capabilities allow unique research and development, with Riders and frame builders working hand and hand in the same location, anything is possible, so keep your ears open… more news in that department soon.

Its pretty Awesome. To further combat the effects of today weather, I posted a pic of Johnny Corts from summer time. Its tuesday, and “whats hanging on the wall in the machine shop?” gives us a picture of Tag 2 pegging a ledge in Paris from like 2000 or so, when we went over there, it was one heck of a trip. Also on the wall are stencils that Mikey randomly makes. He’s an original for sure. Howlers are in stock, feel free to give us a call, and ask about availability on those and anything else that John Lee, or John Paul can help you with…

Peep treebo with Nasty Dawg, and Tony C….. Aping it. Bad news for today is that Street Legend Jimmy Levan has taken a spill, and is in a Hospital with some serious head injuries. He should be OK, be we wish him the best, and a speedy recovery. It’s early November, end of the season for riding trails… I snuck in a solo session to the sounds of “sunny afternoon” by the kinks, but it was not sunny, and warm, it was cold and the earth was as grey as the sky, prior to a 5pm sunset… get in the laps while you can, old man winter hates BMX.
