Simple. Clean. Classic. Bottleneck and Moth launch Verde BMX.



I love spell-check. It really wants me to tell you that Steve Bottleneck and Cory Moth have launched a new BMX brand called Verde. Really it is Buddendeck and Muth who are doing all the work. Bottleneck and Moth are just their alter egos.



Straight outta left field, Axis media announced that they will be launching a bike company called Verde (www.verdebmx.com). Steve Buddendeck and Cory Muth are heading up the project straight outta Dayton, Ohio where they have been running Axis Media Group and, most recently, Duo (www.duodaily.com – a Bmx tire and grip company.)



Their first rider acquisition has been Ryan Barrett who parted ways with long time sponsor Hoffman Bikes a few months. Ryan will be heading up the “Keeping it real in the Northwest” division while based out of Portland, Oregon.



The few times I get to hang out with Cory the night usually ends with him demanding that he find some “cool shit to do.” Maybe Verde was what he has been looking for al along. Be careful what you wish for guys, you might just get a bike company.
