Chris Moeller – Unclicked Podcast

May 21, 2021

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

May 4, 2021

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!

“Pick up the Unclicked / Traction Coffee collab! $5 from every bag goes toward paying travel expenses for a special guest—voted by you guys—to come do the show… Leave a comment with some suggestions.

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

This is a real interesting listen, so hit play and take it all in! Stoked for Corey and the huge amount of pressure off his shoulders.

“Got an unscheduled/special episode of Unclicked for you. Corey Walsh recently made it public that he’s gay. While he may not be the first openly gay rider in the history of BMX, he is the first major pro to come out at what is considered to be the peak of his game. I truly believe that Corey’s story, message, and outlook are important for everyone to hear. Be nice to people, because as Corey makes clear, you never know what they’re going through…” – Our BMX
