MAX CORCORAN – WELCOME TO SMC
Today we make SMC history by introducing our first international team rider, Max Corcoran!
When Max came out for the SMC competition in November, it really gave us a chance to get to know him in both the riding and the personality sense. If you haven’t figured it out by now, SMC is more of a crew than a legitimate team. We don’t sign riders by any means, we just induct you into the crew if you hang out frequently, vibe well, and are committed to riding.
With Max, he instantly meshed with the gang and became family. On top of that, he is an incredibly passionate rider with a huge skillset and tons of room for growth. For these reasons, we felt Max deserved to be a part of something bigger in the bike world and make sure his dedication and skills aren’t going unnoticed. Thanks for being you Max and we’re stoked to have you as part of the fam. Check out his rider page here and make sure to rewatch his LA trip video here!

Wheel Talk – Doing Hoodrat Stuff With My Friends
ANOTHER ONE. Slum has been on fire with the new videos this year. We’ve got a lot of new goodness going on here. Some callouts: that intro title sequence is crispy, Slum is on a BMX stem (Not just any BMX stem, but the Sadio MTS Rocky stem. Huge fan of that), the FBZ are reunited, Snow put his pegs back on, and we’re seeing some new spots being ridden. Wheel Talk content never disappoints!

Satoshi Hashimoto – Bike Check
While Satoshi was in town for SMC 6 I pulled him aside to snag some photos of him and his Courttek. Although the setup may be a bit dated for some, it was an honor to meet him him and ride his bike. It’s set up almost exactly the way I prefer my Trick Track bikes. I have a bunch of other people’s bikes to post up from this same setup, so lookout for some more bike checks. For now, check out Satoshi’s full setup and rundown after the jump!
