A few months back, we caught up with Mark Potoczny to talk about how things were going with Deluxe and to talk a little bit about what he had in the works with his signature frame. One thing that I think a lot of people don’t know about BMX products, especially signature products, is the steps and how long it can take to get something from the idea to final production model. There’s a lot of options and angles to consider when designing a frame and Mark has been finding that out the last few months. I figured we could catch up with Mark Potoczny and Mark Noble (owned of Deluxe) to talk about how the process is coming along and find out what they have decided on for the production model. I’ve also got some sneak peek photos of Mark’s signature frame along with a few real rad riding photos courtesy of Brian Yeagle! Let’s take a look…

“Beautifully designed, crafted and manufactured in good ol’ Los Angeles, CA. This hat is a snapback, utilizing a Denim Chambray for the back panels. Our signature quilted front panels are made from Midnight Blue Summer Wale Corduroy and padded with styrofoam. This buttery hat is for all those summer drinking nights you have with your buddies. Versatile enough to wear to the club, that backyard BBQ or chilling poolside.” – Quintin

Mike Tag Benefit Jam in Ft. Wayne Edit

July 20, 2011

“In April, lifetime FBM rider and street riding pioneer Mike Tag was diagnosed with Stage ll Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. The BMX community quickly rallied to support Tag’s cause. Benefits were organized and money was donated to help pay for his chemotherapy.

This past weekend, Steve Crandall and the FBM crew traveled to Ft. Wayne, Ind. to host another round of benefits for Mike Tag. This time out, the 4910 Trails hosted the event, and although there were no long jump contests involving a man in a Cookie Monster costume, there was riding from the likes of Scotty Yoquelet, Jeremy Ball, Herb Hill, Chris Gerber and more. Many years ago, Crandall and Mike Tag lived in the Ft. Wayne area, and it was there that that the original idea for FBM was established, so it’s nice to see the local scene, both old and new faces, giving back to a BMX legend. Video by Stew Johnson, also originally of Ft. Wayne.

All proceeds from the event went to Mike Tag’s cancer fund, which is still accepting donations.” – ESPN
