Through The Lens: The Process – Writing a Magazine Article
Photography is something that I have loved for almost as long as I can remember. It’s one of those things that just makes sense to me. To be able to capture single moments in time and have them to look back on forever is an incredible thing. Photography is not only what I live for but it’s almost somewhat of an obsession. Now, even though the saying is “a picture is worth a thousand words” no one wants to see a magazine without a little something to read. Writing magazine articles is a huge privilege and an opportunity that I never take for granted. Having your own photos in print is one thing but having an article with your photos as well as your words is a pretty amazing feeling. Most people might wonder how articles come about, how magazines decide on which ones to run, who writes them, and who comes up with the ideas. Well, if you happen to be one of those people then you are in luck because that’s what this week’s column is all about; creating an article from a concept to a finished product.
Insight: S&M 22″ Bikes
“Dan Closser’s custom S&M trail machine next to the 22” proto type.”
Over the last few years, there’s been a lot of talk about 24″ and 22″ BMX bikes. The bikes are aimed more towards some of the older guys in the crowd or just somebody looking for something a little bigger with more stability. If you are a member on Bikeguide, you may have seen this thread that has been on going for a few years now about 22″ bikes and if they are even possible.
A few weeks back, I had emailed Chris Moeller about some stuff and he breifly mentioned that I should look into the 22″ bikes. I never really thought anything of it beside that he must have been cruising around on one. It didn’t click to me that S&M and Revenge had been working on doing a whole setup from the frame, forks rims, spokes and tires for a complete 22″ setup until a few spy photos surfaced a week or two back.
So I figured I better get ahold of Chris and find out what exactly they have in the works. Check out what he had to say!

Sneak Peek: S&M 22″ Bike
About a month back, I had emailed Chris Moeller (name drop) about a few things I was working on. During the conversation he mentioned something about him riding a 22″ bike. For one reason or another, it didn’t really click to me that he was planning on producing a 22″ frame, fork, wheels, or even a complete bike for that matter. Then this thread popped up on Bikeguide and I definitely realized I completely blew being ahead of the game, haha. Above is a sneak peek of a prototype 22″ bike that he’s been riding and it sounds like going into production.
Either way, I shot Chris another email seeing if we can get some answers out of him about what’s to come from S&M in the future. Let’s hope he’s interested.
Chris Moeller and The Slam Bars
Chris Moeller has a real good interview up on Clicked BMX where he talks about the Slam Bars. There’s definitely a few things that blew my mind like the number of bars they have sold since the start and all the awesome things they did to companies trying to get a pair to copy.
I just hope nobody takes the Perfect 10 challenge and tries to go 10.25″….
Chris Moeller Jumps A Car To Flat
Well, the title should sum this up pretty much. Chris Moeller (S&M / Fit / The Building owner for those young guns out there) decided to get nuts at the Halloweiner party and jump this car to flat. Landing front tire first like a champ!
