If you’re like me, you’ve probably always wondered how much big BMX companies are actually selling. Chris Moeller drops an insane statistic in a new featured I highly recommend on Clicked:

“We’ve made Slams for about 23 years now so probably somewhere in the neighborhood of 20 million pairs to date. They sell really well in China!”

Unbelievable. He also discusses driving a van over a set of Slams that Iron Horse had ordered in order to copy them. Hilarious.

Related, Mcgoo did a good post about Chris Moeller here.

This is crazy. The OG Mad Dog definitely ain’t scared.

Chris Moeller Interview

Chris Moeller, the owner of S&M and Fit Bikes, has an interview up on “Old Guys who Ride“. Chris talks about his history in BMX, what his riding is like these days, and gives a little preview of some new products to come from the brands.

Allan Cooke Clarifies.

Allan Cooke hit me up just to clear things up regarding yesterday’s “Premium Disses Fit” post:

“I, as I am sure you did grew up on the genius that is Chris Moeller, I love the controversy that always surrounded him at the BMX track. Fights at the finish lines, little Chinese kids in welding kits in ad’s, I got mad respect for the dude and just want to see what comes of it. The best part of the whole thing is as we are all laughing at the comments this morning one of the accounting lady’s comes out of her office holding the Sports Chalet sale paper all stoked, ” Look Haro has an ad in the Sports Chalet sale Paper”, we all just about hit the floor laughing, what timing. Good times, thanks man.

P.S. I don’t care if you post this too, all in fun. Freestyle Fixies, Hahaha

So that’s that. Also, Moeller called me out for modifying one part of the email. In the email I said:

“Haha no it doesn’t confuse me at all that that happened, it confuses me that Allan Cooke is calling Fit out for it.”

Which I changed to:

“Not really, the fact that Premium seems offended by it confuses me.”

This obviously doesn’t change the intent of the sentence at all, I did so because I realized Allan didn’t author the original post on the site. Regardless, my apologies to Chris if he feels like this was misleading in any way. Chris also cited it as an example of me changing details to “fit my agenda”. Since Premium and Fit both advertise on this site, what would have most suited my agenda would have been to not post anything about this yesterday. My main motivator however isn’t money, it’s posting things that will interest and inform the BMX riders who frequent this site. If you want to read BMX news written by guys who care more about ad dollars than their readers, well, you already know there are quite a few sites that you would be better off checking.

Despite what many of you anonymous commenters think, there isn’t a gun to your heads forcing you to check this site, if you don’t like the things I write on here, feel free to leave and never come back, I won’t miss your page views.

Mrs. S&M & Mr. Fit.

The Photoshoppers of the world are coming out of the woodwork, aren’t they? This is hilarious. Shouts to Drop from Germany for the pic.

For the record, I’m not taking sides on this. I respect Chris Moeller as a businessman about as much as I could respect anyone. And I consider Robbie a friend and think he’s unbelievably talented at what he does and think he’ll continue to be successful in the future. Don’t take any of these pictures serious, we’re just taking the piss out of the situation.

Just wanted to let everyone know that I’ve purchased the movie rights for the Fit/Robbie split, so don’t even think about it. I’m currently in talks with Chad Shack and Steven Spielberg to film/direct. Above is our best guess at what the DVD art will look like.

Chris Moeller has an interview up on ESPN all about his day to day routine over at S&M.

Origin of the Barspin

Kurt — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 16:26:36 +0000

Tunney wrote up a article about the origin of the barspin over on the ESPN blog. It had Chris Moeller’s part from an old S&M video which had a barspin in it. Definitely a good read for sure. Imagine landing a half barspin on vert? That would be so scary!

S&M Hiring.

Usually I don’t post this stuff but this one’s worded kinda funny and it gives me an excuse to mention how badass the Warpig was. I would pay good money for the sticker pack from one of those things. Check out what S&M are looking for after the jump. And hit up Chris Moeller’s Q&A thread for all things S&M related.

“S&M/FIT is looking for a bright, motivated and capable person to work the phones in Santa Ana California. Applicants must be high school graduates with as much bicycle and computer experience as possible, and live in Southern California. It is not necessary to ride an S&M or FIT to apply for this job. Job perks include a desk, phone, and paycheck. Please do not apply if you’re incapable of communicating verbally with strangers, or get emotional about 4 piece handlebars or tight pants.”
