Tyson's 22 inch WTP Chaos Machine hit the floor of the shop (and other shops worldwide) earlier in the year, as well as this cool promo video Tyson filmed up at Hillfire trails in Canberra.

The 22 inch BMX has taken the BMX world by storm; Tyson's signature frame sold out instantly; make sure you add your email to be notified here when they do become available in mid September!

In the mean time though, you will have to feast your eyes on the USA made (and Chris Moeller signature) S&M Mad Dog 22" frame. It's a badass frame, built to shred.

If you're interested in the 22 inch BMX and it's benefits (and potential setbacks), there's a boat load of info on what Tyson thinks about the 22 inch BMX on his DIG BMX interview here.

Last year we flew prolific BMX videographer Stew Johnson across to film the ACT Jam and he was able to get the S&M Bikes team to join in, making a full blown tour of the east coast of Australia.

Australia and our event, The ACT Jam, was able to be graced with the presence of S&M Bikes x Credence legend Clint Reynolds, NORA Cup trail rider of the year Nate Halahan, young gun and all-terrain shredder Aryei Levenson, kiwi legend Joe Simpson, street destroyer Jimmah and our very own Jonny Mackellar!

The crew absolutely tore the eastern side of Australia to pieces. I have been privileged enough to watch an advanced screening of S&M's yet to be released 'Aussie Rules' video and I promise you, it will be your new favourite BMX video.

The best BMX video of 2024 for sure.

The below video of S&M Bikes at ACT Jam is an excerpt from the Aussie Rules video, where you get to see just how badass the S&M BMX team are.

We had Clint Reynolds welding up the course before shredding, Jimmah dropping into the iconic Belco bowl X-ride style, Jonny Mack doing just about every trick on all terrain; and Aryei Levenson even walked away with a three way tie for the ACT Jam Ultimate shredder award - as well as a spot on on the S&M pro team; all aboard his signature colour S&M ATF XL frame.

Stoked to see all this epic footage come together with the visionary mind of Stew Johnson and it definitely gets us stoked to roll on ACT Jam 2024, November 1 - 3!
