Well here’s some very surprising news… Matt “The Beard” Bischoff has left his team manager spot at Hyper & Snafu after less than a year to pursue a new opportunity with DK. Not sure exactly what he will be doing there, but I’d imagine it will lead to some good things!
“Super stoked to announce that I am now part of the DK Bicycles family! I have been friends with everyone here since I was a kid. They helped me get a start in the BMX industry back in 2005. Hell yeah!” – Matt Bischoff

Holy… Shit… I just saw this on Facebook and thought it was a joke.

I had heard some rumors that Snafu had been sold, and that there were going to be some changes to the brand coming. I didn’t know for sure, but it was just confirmed in an email that I just received. Should be interesting to see where things go with the brand.
“Temecula, CA—On May 10, 2012,
SNAFU has been sold and is under new ownership. Matt Bischoff has been hired as new Brand Manager.
SNAFU brand manager Harold “McGoo” McGruther approached Bischoff regarding the SNAFU takeover last winter. After 13 years at the helm of the boutique brand he co-founded in 1999, the 50-year-old bike-industry veteran simply chose to pursue other business interests.
Matt Bischoff has been a part of the SNAFU team since the brand’s inception in 1999, and brings to the program a wealth of enthusiasm and experience.
Matt’s new responsibilities with SNAFU include sales, product development, team and brand management.
Expect some new and fresh things coming very soon from SNAFU.”
I was trying to figure out who Harry Main would be riding for after parting ways with MirraCo. a few weeks back. There were a lot of ideas, but I’ll be honest and say this one caught me off guard. Harry Main is now riding for Failure Bikes! Here’s a few words from Matt Bischoff and Harry about the news.
“We are very stoked to welcome Harry Main to the Failure team.
Harry absolutely rules on and off his bike and we are very excited to be working with Harry on a bunch of new Projects for 2012 and beyond.
I first met Harry a few years ago when he was staying with Jeremiah Smith in Pennsylvania and have been a big fan of his riding ever since.
Harry has a certain energy and vibe to him that I love, and feel that he is the perfect fit for the Failure brand and the new direction that we are going
in. Be on the lookout for a lot of new things from Failure and Harry Main for 2012.”- Matt Bischoff -Failure
“I first met Matt From Failure Bikes around 4 years ago out at Woodward Camp in USA. Matt approached me early this year

honored but so excited to get involved and put my creative input into designing some bad ass products and just working with Failure
on being part of it.
HELL YEA its going to be good!” – Harry Main
