Insight: Standard Byke Co. with Rick Moliterno

January 29, 2015

When you think of legendary BMX brands, there are always a few that instantly come to mind and there’s no doubt that Standard Byke Co. is one of them! We recently stopped by their warehouse in Davenport, Iowa to learn a little bit more about the brand that was established by Rick Moliterno in 1991 where they have been making high quality frames and products right here in America, along with doing in-house production of their frames and products since 2007. We get a good history lesson from Rick, a look at their warehouse, some insight into their production and of course some riding clips from the man himself! This is BMX.

Rick Moliterno Warehouse Session

November 25, 2014

You can’t go wrong with some Rick Moliterno footage! Especially from a session on the ramps in the Standard warehouse in Iowa!

It’s not every day that we see some fresh footage of Standard owner, Rick Moliterno! In fact, it sounds like this is his first ever web video to ever surface online! Not too shabby for a guy who is just shy of 50 years young. Check out Rick getting a session in on the ramp setup in the Standard warehouse out in Iowa where he puts those front brakes of his to proper use and comes through with some dialed clips!
