CHRIS MOELLER - UNCLICKED

https://traction.coffee/product/uncli...
Pick up the Unclicked / Traction Coffee collab! $5 from every bag goes toward paying travel expenses for a special guest—voted by you guys—to come do the show... Leave a comment with some suggestions.

Where to start... First off, I consider Chris Moeller to be one of, if not the smartest people in BMX. In addition, he's definitively the most intimidating. He's sharp as a knife, has a historian-esque knowledge of all things BMX, and he's not afraid to tell you the truth. That's the makings of a damn good podcast in general, but with the recent—and unexpected—rumors flying around about S&M and Fit being up for sale, we pushed up his podcast to make it happen.

WHAT IS OUR BMX?!
In short, we are the Ride BMX staff out on our own. We're building from the ground up and our goal is pretty simple. We want to continue what we love. We want to create great content, feature awesome riders, and contribute, push, and show why we love BMX. We sincerely appreciate any and all support... —Ryan Fudger, Jeff Zielinski, Adam Watkins, and Justin Benthien.
