Prolly is Not Probably has an exclusive little sneak peak up of our new 1×10 bike. Check out this post to learn more about it.
I’ve been riding the bike around over the last couple days and I am soooo stoked on it. Came out awesome and is great fun to ride. We got a few little tweaks to make on some little things (cable routing mostly) and we should be able to get this thing into production for release early next year.
The North American Cycle Courier Championships were held in Austin this past weekend. I spent the weekend out at the races trying to understand what was going on and enjoying the fun.
After many moons at sea Fairdale Bikes have landed on new shores.
Australia has received their shipment (Australian people go here: BMX International).
UK is covered by IMG (get a Fairdale through these dudes in the UK).
Tomorrow I am touring Austin trying to nail down next year’s venue for Texas Toast Jam. We’re thinking the event will be in spring sometime but no date is yet confirmed. It is happening though!
The big question is what will we do this year? Like, for real, what the hell are we going to build this year? I have no clue. You guys got any ideas? The good thing is that with Ryan Corrigan heading up building stuff we know anything is possible.
Check out some of the amazing coverage from last year’s event all gathered together:

And what people were saying about Toast jam:
“Having a blast… don’t want the weekend to end.”
Scotty Cranmer
X-games gold medalist/ Champion of FOX TX TOAST Gauntlet of Death
“Best contest ever”
Gary Young
World Champion Street Rider/ 1st place pro dirt TX TOAST
“I have seen the layout for the Texas Toast Jam, and it is a GAME-CHANGER. GOODBYE INNOCENCE, GOODBYE HOPE. THE TEXAS TOAST JAM COURSE WILL FILL YOUR HEAD WITH DEMONS.”
Empire BMX
“I know the comp scene might be a little stale as of late, but that’s sure to change in the coming months, thanks in part to the Odyssey Texas Toast Jam.”
ESPN
“Texas Toast has come and gone, and I really can’t think of a single thing that could have made the weekend better. Any expectations about the Odyssey BMX sponsored and Taj Mihelich organized event were certainly blown out of the water and there is no doubt in my mind that this was one of the best BMX events I’ve ever been to in my life.”

Monty gives a Fairdale a run for its money, and then sadly injures his foot on a sharp clam shell and must be carried home. Give the little dude some props for that leap!
Also, Fairdale’s are finally arriving in some far away places.
Australia has received their shipment (Australian people go here: BMX International).
UK is covered by IMG (get a Fairdale through these dudes in the UK).
Unsolicited art contribution from Alberto over in Denver. Pretty sweet ride!
Our friend Nuno takes his Fairdale for a cruise.
Fairdale zine 2 is a very limited print run. There’s a handful of them in Austin if you’d like to pick one up. After they sell out we’ll put it up as a online version, but its always cooler to have a print version of a zine. 68 pages this time!
If you’re in the USA send $3 or $3 worth of stamps and I’ll mail one to you. If you’re outside of the USA just drop an email with your address and I’ll let you know how much it would cost (info@fairdalebikes.com). We’ll throw in some stickers with the orders too.

Heres the digital reprint of issue 1 just for the heck of it:
Drove up to Michigan for some family stuff. Took a few photos on the way. I love the map above is put out by the state. My family is a bit south of the “Thumb Area”.
Saw Empire making some deliveries dangerously close to Albe’s territory. Turf war?
Truck stop t-shirts are some of my favorite things. I love the new logo rip-off for god stuff. I might have to do the top 50 logos stolen for jesus.
At the I-69 Michigan Welcome center there is Vernors in the vending machines and sweet transitioned launches to play on.
