S&M Bikes – Dirt Rules

March 17, 2022

The trails riders out there are in for a treat with this one! S&M Bikes have released a 42 minute video from a trip the trails guys on the team took to cruise a bunch of trails along the East coast! This has an amazing Road Fools vibe to it with great riding and a super laid back vibe. This is a MUST SEE, so get on that play button now!

“After close to two-years of C*vid-induced isolation, it was time to get the band back together. The plan? Assemble at Clint’s compound to shred the Bear Bowl and roast Northeastside, then jump in the bus to head to PA for the Posh/Catty Jams, followed by a final leg at 9 Acres and adjacent dirt churches.

The result? A trip for the books. With Stew Johnson behind the camera and Clint Reynolds, Mike “Hucker” Clark, Matty Aquizap, James “P” Nutter, Ever Peacock and Lukas, Nate and Shane Halahan in front of it… a (dare we say it) instant classic is born.

Huge shouts to the entire Northeast trail community for the hospitality and BMX in general for the stoke. Dirt Rules!” – S&M Bikes

Vinyl BMX – ID

April 4, 2021

Whenever Vinyl BMX drops a new video, we know we’re going to be in for a treat. This is a new mix of footage from the past few years with solid riding and filmwork at some of the best trails spots. Needless to say, if you’re looking to get your trails fix in, this is the one you’re going to watch. It sounds like Tom Arkus is sitting on a ton of footage and we might be getting a few more of these videos this year, which would be pretty damn rad since there aren’t enough trails videos popping up these days, and usually the footage and / or editing is pretty rough. Check it!

“A long overdue montage of some really incredible spots in Pennsylvania and England. This video features sick riders from the U.S. & Europe. Nate Halahan, Luke Halahan, Dunny, Brian Coleman, Tom Arkus, Chase Zink, Steven Mueller, Mark Potoczny, Mike Potoczny, Foerske, Red Belg, Gillian, Bentley, Cam McCreadie, Brandon Christie, Pi, Weexly, Dimitri, Phil, David Leep, Wingham homies, Gro Trails Crew, & Friends.

Future Proof – The Halahan Brothers

March 15, 2021

The Halahan Brothers have been crushing it for years, and as they get older each of them just get better and go bigger and bigger! Here’s a look at Lukas, Shane and Nate Halahan all catching some laps in some of the finest trails! It’s safe to say growing up riding massive and extremely dialed trails has done these guys well!

“The Halahan Brothers… these boys are already phenomenal, but they just keep progressing at an exceptional rate. I think it boils down to the old adage of, “you are the company you keep”. Along with the Halahans having the greatest parents around, who are 110% supportive, they’ve also been following in the footsteps of Pittsburgh trail veterans Tom Arkus and Mark Potozcny, who have been working hard building Hazelwood trails, and that work ethic has definitely been passed onto the Halahan brothers. Enjoy their efforts from last summer, filmed at Hazlewood, POSH, Catty and 9 Acres.
