FBM – Santa Cruzing In Cali

Leave a Comment

FBM re-upped a video from the latest FBM / Profile Racing / QBMX Maiden America tour where the crew spent some time out in the Santa Cruz, California area cruising and having a good time. Hit play for footage from the pool, trails and street sessions. Looks like these guys had a blast!

“The FBM Crew out in the wild- The fifth annual Maiden America tour came through NorCal recently, featuring FBM, Profile, and QBP. We caught up with the dudes for two days in the Santa Cruz area, where we sessioned the famous Buena Vista pool, the Harvey West pump track, and sick street spots around a light house! The squad included Steve Crandall, Declan Murray, Garrett Guilliams, Shane Leeper, Dillon Leeper, Eric Holladay, Matt Coplon, Jay Schlie, and local Santa Cruz FBM riders John Tillman and Jackson Allen.” – FBM

Shudder house – Schlie Mix

Leave a Comment

Jay Schlie might not be a household name in BMX, but believe it or not… He’s crushing it behind the scenes. When Jay isn’t busy bouncing around the U.S for QBMX (QBP Distributions’s BMX division) working with BMX shops to improve, he’s most likely out riding his bike. Here’s a short but sweet BMX video featuring Jay cruising some trails, street spots and a full pipe he got a session on in a construction zone before it was most likely buried in the ground. Hit play and enjoy this because it’s not your typical video filled with grinds and freecoaster action.

On the Horizon – Quality Bicycle Products

Leave a Comment

Every year for the last three years, I’ve made my way up to Bloomington, Minnesota for the annual Frostbike, which is like a miniture Interbike for brands that Quality Bicycle Products carries. When I was there I started thinking about how much goes into an operation like this distributor that handles shops all across the U.S on the daily, I realized there were a lot of questions that could be asked. I figured it would be pretty cool to find out more about the company by talking with two guys I’ve known for a while now through riding, Jay Schlie and Glenn Dussl. Jay and Glenn have been a big part of the BMX scene in Minnesota for years, and it just so happens that they both handle a good portion of the BMX department at QBP. Check out what they had to say for my questions, and some photos of the building that I shot while I was up there this past year for Frostbike…
