I wanted to know more about their BMX adventures as a father and son so I made the trip to the Show Me State to find out more!” – Jerrod Glasgow

Paul Radosevich Bio

July 22, 2024

Check out this bio with Paul Rad!

This is awesome. Jerrod Glasgow AKA Murderbike dropped this new bio video featuring Paul Radosevich who not only is a complete shredder, but a key person at Ray’s MTB who keeps the ramps dialed in among every other role there. This is a cool look at him as a person, along with a look at what he’s all about. I wouldn’t mind seeing more of these style videos!

“When I think of BMX in the midwest a lot of names come to mind, Paul Rad is one of those names.
I’ve always known Paul to be the dude that works at skateparks, builds ramps, and rips on his bike, but I wanted to know more.
I made two trips to Cleveland (February & June) to see what Paul’s life is like revolving around Ray’s MTB and outside of work.
Here’s what I came up with…

3 On 3 – Jerrod Glasgow

September 7, 2023

Jerrod Glasgow takes a few questions from John Rodgers!

Here’s a new series of videos John Rodgers is putting together where he does some quick interviews with a few legends in the Midwest BMX scene. To kick things off, he caught up with Jerrod “Murderbike” Glasgow to ask him a few questions. There’s also a few riding clps mixed in for good measure, so hit play and take a look. We’re looking forward to seeing more of these.

“First of many interviews coming! All of these start with the premise 3 questions and 3 clips. Also all of these guys have full time jobs but still shred BMX when they can. Jerrod has his own building with a really good mini ramp and has been repping the Midwest for a long time!” – John Rodgers

Matt Lough – Iowa City Barn Session

June 19, 2023

Matt Lough catches a session in the Iowa City Barn!

Here’s a little throwback footage of Matt Lough getting some riding time in at the crazy bowl setup in the Iowa City barn. This footage is about 6 years old, but it’s still a good watch. I’m just curious if this place is still around since it’s been quite a few years since I’ve seen anything pop up from this place. Either way, get on that play button and take a look at this short but sweet video.

A Day In The Life At Standard Byke Company

May 28, 2023

Take a look at how Rick Moliterno runs a day at the Standard Bykes headquarters in Iowa!

It’s always cool seeing what goes on inside BMX companies since sometimes it’s easy to forget just how much goes on behind the scenes. Here’s a video where we get a day in the life of Rick Moliterno and what goes on inside the Standard Bykes warehouse in Iowa. This has a little bit of everything from spotting eagles on the drive into work and getting coffee and food, to a tour of the front office and shop, along with a look at production of frames. There’s even some riding on the Margarita Ramps in the shop as well! This is a real good watch, so get on that play button and check it out!

“I spent a chilly Saturday back in March with Rick Moliterno and the boys at Standard Byke Company. I wanted an inside view to some of the inner workings of an American made bmx company.” – Jerrod Glasgow

Standard Bykes – Jerrod Glasgow Crankflip Compilation

March 4, 2019

Here’s one for the crankflip lovers out there! Standard Bykes just dropped this new edit featuring Jerrod Glasgow cooking up some awesome lip trick combos that have crankflips mixed in. We don’t get a ton of footage from Jerrod since he’s usually stuck behind the lens, but that doesn’t mean he’s not crushing it when he does ride. Take a look since this is a real good watch!

“Typically found behind the camera, Murderbike (Jerrod Glasgow) step in front of the lens to put together this crankflip compilation. Filmed at his ramps, #theclubhouse with help from a tripod and whoever was there to hold the camera.” – Standard Bykes

I noticed you have a pretty wild brake setup going with the mounts on the bottom of the chainstays. Can you tell us a little about that? Does it work better or have any benefits?
I’ve always loved old school BMX bikes and wanted to incorporate that look into my frame. I’m not positive there are any benefits to having the brakes under the chainstays, but I’ve found that with this current setup my brakes are the best they have EVER felt.

What’s the newest part on your bike?
I just put a gyro back on, after running a straight cable for about two years.

What about the oldest? Does it hold any sentimental value?
Everything is new from when I first built it up last year!

With brakes being less common, and those Tech 77 locking levers being harder and harder to find. Do you have a secret stash of classics, or are you fully prepared to ride what’s available when the time comes?
The Tech 77 is the best lever in the game.. I’ve never actually needed to buy a new set, I just do because I like getting new parts. I found a few places that still sell them!

You joined the Standard team a little while ago. How did that opportunity all come about?
It all happened pretty casually, no pressure.. and a no brainier.

Growing up in the Midwest and being a front brake rider, I’d imagine it’s a little surreal riding for Standard. Have you had any opportunities to work with Rick on any cool projects or anything yet? Any plans?
Definitely feels like a dream to ride for Standard, and to get text messages from Rick. I told him what I had in mind for a frame and he jumped on the idea. A run of the frames will be out soon and I’ll keep you posted. We’ve also done a lot of talking about filming a small video project together.. Now just to get our schedules to align and get busy!

I noticed you have quite a bit of Merritt parts on your bike. Are you getting the hook up, or is it just something you chose to run?
The guys hooked me up pretty good on the parts and I’m super impressed with the quality of everything they make.

Your bike is always dialed in, at least it appears to be, to keep up with your riding. What are some of the things you do to keep your bike running smooth?
Lube cables, clean pads/rims.. I true my wheels all the time, nothing worse than bent rims and brakes!

Does your setup change at all or are you pretty much set?
The Standard frame they built for me has a much shorter chainstays than I’ve had in the past. It’s 12 ⅞” slammed. That’s the biggest change I’ve ever made and I love it. Also I feel I’ve gained more control of my bike by switching to 160 mm cranks.

Does owning your own shop have any influence on your setup? I would imagine it can lead to some creativity.
I’ve spent hours looking at parts, comparing weights, reading reviews, and trying new things. The beauty of it is the ability to buy almost everything at cost.

How are things going with your shop these days anyways? Can you tell us a little bit more about that?
The shop is going well, just took out the back wall to expand the retail floor into the storage room. I’ve finally got a good business model running and I’m planning to hire an employee in the spring.

How are the ramps going? Any plans of adding some new additions?
The ramps are running good, last week I finally got around to putting in proper lighting. Starting on the next section in a few weeks!

Have you been filming much lately? I could use some fresh front brake magic from you!
I’m pretty good at not pulling anything when the camera comes out.. but yes!

What do you have in the works for 2019 as far as riding goes? Any big trips or plans in the works?
The Brake Room running smooth is my number one priority this year.

Anything outside of riding you have been real stoked on lately?
I’ve been really into masonry and electrical work.. putting a lot of time and energy into my building project. I love checking something off of the list everyday.

How can people keep up with you these days? Instagram — @bobbiealtiser

Anything else you wanted to say?
Thanks for taking to time to do this bike check and I’m really happy to see the BMX Union is back!

A Day At Billy’s

June 20, 2018

Billy Woodfin built up a dream backyard ramp setup!

It’s safe to say most riders dream of one day having something to ride in their own backyard. Pretty much every ramp rider wants a mini ramp in their backyard. Billy Woodfin recently built up a really dialed spine mini in his backyard and threw a big session with some friends to put it to good use. Here’s a bunch of footage Jerrod Glasgow put together from the session! Plenty of amazing riding already going down on that ramp!

“Billy Woodfin built a backyard mini at his house in St. Louis, Missouri. He broke it in the proper way this past Saturday (6/16/18) with a BBQ, friends, adult beverages, and good times! Even though it was a sweltering 97 degrees and the Mid-West humidity made it feel like the pits of hell they rode for a solid 10 hours. Paul Rad and Gage Sharp made the trip to STL from Cleveland to join in on the fun. It wouldn’t be a session without Paul Rad’s Griz Air and he never disappoints. The young Gage battled through the heat and was the Champion’s Champion of the session. Bobbie Altiser came down from Hannibal, MO and blessed the new mini with his front brake goodness! St. Louis legend and all around ripper Tony T showed up and was doing some pretty impressive brakeless moves, at 42 years young Tony continues to push the STL BMX scene. I snuck one clip of Billy in this little edit because we’re going to hang on to the rest of his footage for an upcoming edit of him and his new ramp.” – Jerrod GlasgowB
