Use the Door.

FHQ has two big slabs of glass up front.. about once a week someone manages to walk face first into the right window (when exiting). A lot of times the people are texting or in deep phone conversations so those people kind of deserve it.

We put chairs in front of it, even a little orange cone on the ground so fools pay more attention. Sometimes we just yell, "WATCH OUT!!" That's saved about a dozen people from the hit, But no matter what we do, it happens too often.

We have gone one step further and put this lil clear piece of tape on there that reads: WATCH OUT!!

Theres also our shop hours and credit card stickers on the glass so anyone that walks into it now is just asking for it.

I have to admit, its pretty damn funny.. But were getting kind of tired of cleaning greasy forehead/nose marks off the glass.. also im scared that one day its just going to break (im not trying to pay for that crap).

So thanks for coming by.. We appreciate it, but please use the door.

GT Freestyle 101

Got some new classic BMX eye candy on display at the shop.. We swap em out every month or so to give the old guys a flashback and the new kids a history lesson..

First up is the 1984 GT Pro Performer - This is the OG Grand daddy of GT freestyle.. The first year out. Inspired by Eddie Fiola's "Flying Banana" build.

Next up is the 1985/86 GT World Tour - This one is inspired by the opening credits of the movie RAD.. If you look closely this bike has a lil cameo up in there.

Both bikes are on display at the shop for the next month. These OG bikes are meticulously built up just like classic cars, plenty of money sure, but more importantly is the time and care they put into them. Truly BUILT NOT BOUGHT.

Rep the set.

FHQ X BICI CONCEPTS

Check out these sample pedal straps and bar pad we did with bici.. Printed on 3M reflective fabric.

We have been working real close with bici the past couple of months to perfect these. The fabric has been suped up to stiffen the whole strap in general and the hardware was also beefed up to prevent any slippage.

Were going to be dropping these bad boys and a few other things with bici real soon!

This set is on display at the shop so come by and check em out..

Chaingang

New Chaingang graphic tee:  White/Black print, Black/Charcoal Grey print, and Maroon/Lt. Gray print.

 available now in-store.. phone/paypal orders are also welcomed.

FHQ X 4130 Subway Series

I remember meeting up with Noah a few years back at my local 7 Eleven  to sell him some nos GT bmx parts. He mentioned something about, "we should get a big LA bmx ride going".

I remember thinking to myself, Man.. good luck bro, thats like a job on its own.

Well fast forward a year later the man had pulled it off! After a few smaller test runs and meet ups this dude and the whole 4130 crew managed to get 2-300 heads deep to ride from Hollywood to Downtown. Since then, they've kept it rolling every 2nd Saturday of each month. My hat goes off to them for putting in that hard work to keep the ride organized. All for the love of BMX.

Ive been on a hand full of the rides myself and its real fun. Its like being 12 years old in the neighborhood again, but getting together with a huge Army of other kids from every other hood too. Bombing hills, running reds, stopping traffic, eatin' shit, etc.. just a flat out good time.

They have free raffle every month as well to keep it fresh. All you have to do is get a ticket at the start of the ride and make it to the end to hear the numbers called off.

This month FHQ has linked up with 4130 and is kicking down the prizes.. the main prize is a $100 gift certificate to the shop. We sell all kinds of stuff so it was kind of hard to narrow it down to just 'a prize'. Were also going to kick down a fat stack of stickers, shirts, etc.. to raffle and toss out at the ride.

Its going down May 14th @ 7pm so be there!
