We never proclaimed to take over BMX, dominate anything, be the biggest, the best, be number 1, or any of that shit, No NORA cups, readers choice awards, celebrities, polished turds or nothing, we are quite simply just FBM, we make great bikes, parts, and accessories, ridden by kick ass dudes, built by kick ass dudes, sold by kick ass dudes, and quite honestly, we just wanna do good stuff, and have a good time.
If we would have wanted to be popular or pretty, we would have started skateboarding a built a skateboard company! We are just regular dudes putting our best foot forward, trying to not push mongo through life.
If you like are stuff, or our associates, let us know, if we could do better, holler at us!
Thanks to everyone who help us stay in existence, and if you have been following the Blog for a second, thanks for being patient with my bad spelling a typos!

Gary Gincho has a sweet bike check on QBP and also has a kick ass interview on The Nice Brand Blog!

Garrett and Adam have been partying the St. Lunatic Style with shredding air guitars, hi fives, ice cream cones, and PIZZA!

When recently asked what his favorite color was Garrett replied- “PIZZZA!”

Pure Gold!

The Maniac- Have you seen him!?

Spend a couple days in Ithaca NY with the right people and your life will never be the same. I spent about 20 years there last weekend. It was great!
A bunch of old friends spent a sunny afternoon riding around Ithaca like some time warp from a nostalgic movie. Hill Bombs, weird stares from civilians, hip boosts, hi fives, pizzas, sandwiches, beers and poppa wheelies.

Cherish your friendships, without good ones, life ain’t shit!

Friendship, Brotherhood, Memories!

Shortstop- not a bad way to end a good day of riding with old friends!

With Mike lurking in the background, the last photo of Tag, Bones, Gilly and I.

There was no somber burial for our loved one Michael Tagliavento, rather a gathering, where we raised short glasses of Jim Beam, to honor the spirit of a great man.

Generations of outlaws, artists, pioneers, fearless hearts, parents, children, hardworking hard men who shed tears, all influenced by Mike, and traveling from the farthest stretches, the fringes of someone else’s reality, to pay tribute.
The brightest and the best from a world Mike helped create! His Friends…

A vikings funeral, for a man we all love. Instead of some vast sea, and burning ship, we sent Mike to sail with tear soaked smiles, over the hard wood Bar top with cold beers, bourbon, hugs and shared memories….

Jimmy and Judy!

Kenny in TX by Terra!

This friday, April 20th at 5PM, the FBM team and friends will be at the Ithaca park for an informal session, to pay tribute to Mike.
For years this park has been a spot you could see Tag riding and has been a staple in the Ithaca scene, where we would meet up, bullshit with each other, ride around, and often times pedal over to ShortStop for dinner.
That is exactly what we plan to do, ride the park from 5-7, and then pedal across town to Shortstop!

Kenny Horton will be there, doing flatty pancake mc table tops on the hip at the Ithaca park, and you can learn more about Kenny on his recent ESPN Article, shot by Terra which Kicks serious ass!

Saturday session at the Rhine House! Be there!

Cranpa, pre geriatrics in Ithaca!

Fisher! He will be there!

Tag's BAr, The Rhine House!
