Fairdale Bikes – Taj Mihelich In The Woods

November 26, 2024

Fairdale dropped a new video featuring Taj!

It’s always a good day when Taj Mihelich‘s name pops up! Although this one is mountain biking, it’s still Taj! Here’s a video Fairdale Bikes dropped where we get some perspective and riding from Taj on just what two wheels does for him.

“Mountain biking is so much more than vertigo inducing GoPro footage, life threatening speed and laser guided seat posts. I love that my bike carries me away from the noise of the world and out into the peace of the woods. I always feel a bit uncomfortable when I realize I work in marketing (I blame formative years listening to Bill Hicks) so I have done my best to be sincere in what I do. This is how I really feel on most every ride. I hope this inspires you to get out into the trees and take some deep breathes.

Thanks to @loganpatricknelson for helping me try to share what I love and thanks to @fairdalebikes for the Elevator ride out there.” – Fairdale Bikes

Fairdale At TRA BMX 2024

October 4, 2024

Fairdale dropped a video from this years TRA Double Cross!

The annual TRA Double Cross event always looks like such a good time, and this year’s event was no different. We haven’t seen much footage yet, but Fairdale Bikes put together this one giving you a look at what went down, along with what Aaron Ross and Mike Gonzalez threw down! Take a look.

“Here’s a quick recap of Aaron Ross and Mike Gonz out at the TRABMX event in Pennsylvania on 9.21.24. Our friend Mike Gentilcore holds this annual Double Cross race and Dirt Jump session at his private compound every year, and it always looks like a good time! Our crew was out there on their Hareraisers. Enjoy!

Filmed & edited by Devon Hutchins.” – Fairdale Bikes

Fairdale X Vans

May 2, 2023

Fairdale and Vans have teamed up for a collaboration bike and shoes!

Here’s a look at a new collaboration that Fairdale and Vans have teamed up for! They’ve taken the Fairdale Taj and gave it some custom graphics and Vans padset to go along with a BMX Old Skool shoe and BMX Sk8-Hi shoe, along with a matching shirt and water bottle. Check out the promo video above by Taj Mihelich, then get more details on the collaboration below!

“We’re happy to introduce the limited-edition Vans x Fairdale project, which includes a Taj cruiser, BMX Sk8 Hi and Old Skool sneakers, water bottle, shirt and a giraffe!

Vans has been a strong Fairdale supporter over the years, so it was only a matter of time before we partnered up on a bigger project. Drawing inspiration from both of our worlds, this project combines a classic Vans aesthetic with Fairdale’s fun and playful take on branding.

In all seriousness (kinda), It was a huge honor to design some actual Vans and put a giraffe on them. Perhaps you too can perform the Kiss of Death!

Interbike 2012: Fairdale

September 21, 2012

Photobucket

In the last 5 years I don’t think I’ve ever covered anything that wasn’t a “BMX bike” but I think we all consider Fairdale a BMX brand since it’s owned by Taj Mihelich and run by a bunch of BMX riders. That’s more than enough for me to support it. I finally made my way over to their booth to take a few photos. Let’s take a peek.

If you caught our interview with Sandy Carson a few weeks back, he mentioned a trip he was taking with Fairdale from Seattle down to San Francisco. Well, the trip has come and gone already and there is a photogallery up on Defgrip that you can check out. Looks like it was a real good time.
