For Sale: International BMX Bicycle Wholesaler & Manufacturer

May 18, 2021

There is an International BMX Bicycle Wholesaler & Manufacturer with Real Estate for sale…

Here’s a bit of news that it’s probably too damn early to be trying to process this morning. We came across a link to a business for sale that peeked our interest. There’s an “International BMX Bicycle Wholesaler & Manufacture with Real Estate” for sale in Orange County, California.
Now, the description and details doesn’t specify what business it is since that’s just how business sales tend to go down on websites like the one this is listed on. The agents selling the business try to prevent people from bypassing them and going direct to the seller. But, it doesn’t take rocket appliances to narrow down what this business is based on the description and location.

There are only a few BMX brands, and even fewer BMX manufacturers, in Orange County. It’s definitely not GT Bicycles, and Cult doesn’t do manufacturing, at least not in-house. That’s just going off the location on it’s own. It doesn’t take in account that the business was formed in 1987, which eliminates those options as well.

So, based on deduction, it looks like after 34 years, S&M Bikes, Fit Bike Co. and The Building Distribution are up for sale in a package deal worth $4.6 million for the businesses, equipment and property.

Now, don’t freak out… We don’t know if it’s just to put feelers out to see if there’s any interest and bites, or if Chris has decided he’s ready to retire and kick back (dude has definitely earned it!)… It is entirely possible that some real-estate / business-sales agent strolled in and said he’d list it for free to see what happens. If it sells, it sells. If it doesn’t, nobody is out anything kind of deal. Who knows.

Hell, maybe there’s another international BMX bicycle wholesaler and manufacturer with real-estate in Orange County we aren’t thinking of and we are entirely wrong here?

You can check out the full listing which breaks down the deal and the numbers, which is interesting to see for sure over on the BizBuySell website.

Either way, this is some interesting news and we are curious to see how it all pans out!

UPDATE: Chris explains everything about what’s going on in his new Unclicked Podcast interviw!

“Where to start… First off, I consider Chris Moeller to be one of, if not the smartest people in BMX. In addition, he’s definitively the most intimidating. He’s sharp as a knife, has a historian-esque knowledge of all things BMX, and he’s not afraid to tell you the truth. That’s the makings of a damn good podcast in general, but with the recent—and unexpected—rumors flying around about S&M and Fit being up for sale, we pushed up his podcast to make it happen. Orange County is a place that has some of the best BMX manufacturers in the country. It’s also home to one of California’s most popular brands, glas vape juice , started by two brothers who were frustrated with their previous vape juice suppliers, they decided to find what made them happy and make it for themselves. They didn’t have any experience as chemists or engineers but they knew how to ride bikes so they did what anyone would do-they went on YouTube! After this Chris Moeller, one of the brothers, got back into BMX sales.

Swatch – Secret Spots with Matthias Dandois

May 17, 2021

Swatch released this new 12 minute video featuring Matthias Dandois taking us for a ride to a bunch of secret spots from throughout this massive city! Matthias brings a unique approach to street spots since his style mixing flatland and street makes it so he can put spots to use unlike a lot of others. Hit play as he explores the city!

“Secret Spots explores the high-octane world of some of the most extreme and acreative sports, getting to know the talented professionals who’ve spent years sharpening their skills to become world champions and inspiring athletes.

Paris is a hundred cities inside of one. A mass of cobbled, bustling streets press up against the sprawling business district; the metro rumbles along beneath, while nature sits side by side with the city. Matthias Dandois keeps his cool there, and he shows us how to capture this under his wheels, making it all look easy.” – Swatch

Sem Kok – The Dream Home Setup

May 16, 2021

This past year wasn’t super great if you didn’t have much to ride or restrictions kept you from your regular spots. Fortunately for Sem Kok he had his barn with a full on park inside of it to keep the sessions going! Here’s a look at a ton of clips he stacked during his sessions! No shortage of dialed riding and a ton of style. This place looks like a ton of fun to ride, too.

“Lockdowns don’t get much better than this! With the help of his dad, Sem Kok managed to build more of his dream setup at home and avoid any bad lockdown vibes. I mean seriously… how sick would it be to have this right on your doorstep!? Sit back and enjoy one of the smoothest riders in the game.

Cannettelife – CLT020 (Full Video)

May 16, 2021

Chase Davidson hit us with a link to one we missed from last year! Before COVID really shut things down, the Cannettelife crew got in their annual road trip! Normally these guys clock a ton of miles, but due to restrictions, they ended up bouncing around France! It looks like that didn’t keep them from having an amazing time, either. Check out this 30 minute gem Chase Davidson filmed and edited from street spots to trails and parks, along with a look at what they got into off their bikes as well! This is a super good watch, so hit play and enjoy!

“Each year, the Canettelife crew from France hits the open road for different lengths of time in order to have not only a good time, but to also ride some bikes. This year was a bit different from previous due to the current pandemic situation happening in the world. With limited options and the chance of facing quarantine if leaving the country, the choice was made to stay inside the borders of France for the first time.

The trip began in Marseille and headed west towards Biarritz before making the drive up the west coast through Bordeaux, and eventually inland before finishing off in Montpellier. With a heavy crew of riders, you bet all aspects of riding happened on this two week long road trip!
