Title: Cool article about S&M Slam bars
Post by: SaMAlex on February 02, 2012, 02:20 PM: Moeller isnt taking the piss at ALL in this ;D

"S&M Bikes did not become the leading manufacturer of BMX handlebars in the USA by joking around. We take everything about handlebars extremely serious and the Perfect 10′s are a great example of how superior we are. To this day, no other company can engineer a larger handlebar than the Perfect 10’s!"

"So many companies have copied Slam Bars throughout the years that sometimes they just call here and have a pair sent to them so they can send them to Taiwan to have them duplicated. One time Lynn Kastan who used to own Redline and then Kastan called for a set of bars and I asked him to pay for them. We sent the bars COD Cash Only and when the UPS driver dropped them off he paid cash for them (and he was known for never paying with cash). When he eventually opened the box he found some bars we took off a girls three speed bike. Another time we drove the van over some Slam Bars we sent to Iron Horse to take out all the sweep. Nowadays companies just buy their Slams at shops like everyone else."

Alex, do you have anywhere the footage of Moeller on a real early 90s tv show in America about young businessmen seting up companies? Moeller has some stubble, and when asked by the serious host " do you have any worries about seing up a company" he says " yeah, I worry about where my neck hair and chest hair meet... when do I stop shaving?"
then he proceed so t hurl cushions of the sofa into the audience to the whoops and hollers of fellow bmx'ers in the studio audience. Fook it, I may do this on my next ITV This Morning appearance!

The show was all about young people starting companies. Moeller tried to get a fake fight going with the dude who started Sub-Pop records but he wasnt keen
