This is a real interesting listen, especially after getting Chris Moeller’s perpective the other week. Hit play and give it a listen!

A bit of a special episode. I received a few calls/emails from industry folk and riders after Chris Moeller’s polarizing episode, but Brad in particular had the most to say. In the end, the only real solution was to have Brad fly out and sit down to discuss his side of the story…

Chris Moeller – Unclicked Podcast

1 Comment

Here it is! The other day a business for sale listing that strangely described S&M Bikes very clearly. Needless to say, A LOT o people freaked out and it lead to a lot of questions. Fortunately, Chris Moeller was up for sitting down on an interview with Ryan Fudger and Dennis Enarson on the Unclicked Podcast to clear up everything, along with his story from how he got into BMX all the way through what he has going on these days and more! Really stoked to know Chris isn’t retiring, but just wants to make S&M, Fit, the Building and everything bigger and better! Hit play and check it out (Full list of the interview topics below)!

“Where to start… First off, I consider Chris Moeller to be one of, if not the smartest people in BMX. In addition, he’s definitively the most intimidating. He’s sharp as a knife, has a historian-esque knowledge of all things BMX, and he’s not afraid to tell you the truth. That’s the makings of a damn good podcast in general, but with the recent—and unexpected—rumors flying around about S&M and Fit being up for sale, we pushed up his podcast to make it happen.

Unclicked Podcast – Brandon Semenuk

Leave a Comment

The Unclicked Podcast coming through with another banger! This time around Dennis Enarson and Ryan Fudger sit down with Brandon Semenuk and Christian Rigal to get to know Brandon better! Although Brandon is known for being one of the top dogs in the MTB world, he also has a long history in BMX (and still crushes it on a BMX bike). This is a real interesting interview since it’s a side of bikes we don’t know a ton about and how much crossover there is these days. Hit play and enjoy!

Brandon Semenuk is an absolutely amazing rider, arguably one of the best riders in the world—on any bike. Brandon’s roots in BMX were not as deep as I assumed they were, but his love for it is pretty easy to see. So sit back and enjoy two hours of insight into the other side of the freestyle bicycle riding…” – Our BMX
