Supercross BMX — Since 1989

We were building 26-inch frames in 2002. Now we’re in this properly. Here’s the full story.
How We Got Here
The 2002 Quadangle Changed Everything
In 2002, we built the first modern 26-inch BMX race frame — the Quadangle — with Scot Breithaupt’s blessing. Scot co-founded SE Racing and was one of the original architects of BMX. When a man like that tells you to go ahead and build it, you build it.
The Quadangle was built for the Azusa Grand Prix, a legendary SoCal race that drew thousands. We called the series “NoMoreA” in honor of Turnell Henry — a rider who passed too soon. Those races brought out the original generation of BMX riders: 40-year-olds who had never stopped riding but had nowhere to race a real bike. We gave them one.
We ran 25 frames through GJS — hand-built, small batch, no shortcuts. The Fat Man Flyers team raced them. People showed up. The category was real.
“Todd Lyons likes to say SE started the Big Bike movement with the Big Ripper. I always remind him: 26-inch bikes existed in the early ’80s. We brought it back in 2002 with frames people could actually race. We were there.”

Why We Do This
Built for the Riders Who Never Left
The riders buying these bikes are in their 40s, 50s, and 60s. They started in BMX when it was dirt and freedom. They never quit — they just ran out of products built for them. We build these because the sport owes them something real.
These are not novelty bikes. They are full-race geometry, full-race spec, scaled up. If you can win on a 20-inch, you can win on one of these. That’s always been the standard.
