First hard post in a while. Custom saddles for the 10th streetlando contest hosted by @mattpstreetg one is a fat pivotal with a close up map of downtown Orlando lasered on tan deerskin with a custom cowhide patch and center patch. Second is the white slim pivotal with a more zoomed out map of downtown Orlando and has a matching center patch and teal pig skin patch. More seats coming soon. by @nativebikes

This is Solid bikes built Trendkill sample #1 @justin__falco owns this frame now. This was my personal bike around 2012/2013ish. not 100% sure anymore. Key features are the one off @profile_racing confetti "40" stem, gas pedals, bass boat black sparkle cranks, and elite hub. This bike also had the firs top tube pad and THE FIRST leather seat I ever made. Thomson seatpost and clamp, nokon cable, cnc'd colony lever, 20 year old fly suelo brakes, and an infect titanium front hub. This bike wasnt clean but it was pretty. Fun fact: Bryce Toole rode this frame from Pittsburgh to Savannah for fun. by @nativebikes

@justin__falco would challenge anyone to a show down. This bike features one of my favorite custom seats I ever did also. Tan deer skin and ostrich skin over a @treebicycleco slim ergo pivotal. He has always had the most dialed bike I’ve seen since I was 15 and he was the cool, older guy at the park on a standard bullitt. First person I ever saw with 25/9 and profile mini hubs on a freestyle bike. Justin also has undoubtedly the largest collection of native memorabilia that there is. Give him a follow if you like the finer things in life. This is a @defconfour made trendkill ser# 000 by @nativebikes

Some would call this crazy. Some would call it strategy… @im_eating_pizza is a collector of all kinds of fine things with wheels. I can GUARANTEE Will is the only person on the planet with an @defconfour built trendkill ser. #007 new, unbuilt, in the box with the original sticker/badge envelope unopened by @nativebikes

Some things have changed, some have stayed the same. Always stick to your guns unless you know you’re wrong. never be afraid to be your self and do things your way. Also, never be too good to apologize. Humility is honorable. Remember this as you gain life experiences and look back at your past. by @nativebikes

Do you have a native??? Send me some photos so I can post them up!! Chances are, if you do, that it’s dialed. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a boring or underwhelming native build. This one comes from @tsbjp and is lucky number 13 from the beautiful run of trendkills from @defconfour loaded with tons of @profile_racing goodies by @nativebikes

I have been lucky enough to work with an amazing company like @profile_racing for many years. I used to work at a print shop that printed all of Profile's soft goods and on occasion I was able to coordinate having some custom seats match custom parts being released or match soft good releases. I do not remember had the pink/blue swirl colorway. Jarred Eberwein? I dont remember.. Either way, someone out there has this seat and I really really liked this one. by @nativebikes

@sativa_knievel once painted a bike for me that is now owned by @justin__falco I had @stovedialer make me a big boy sprocket and acquired a beautiful @profile_racing stem. Beyond that, this is a V1 solid bikes made trendkill frame with a sample pair of shotgunner bars(notice the skinny ass cross bar), one of the only pairs of native "thunder" forks and a prototype set of cult cranks made by solid aswell. Chris knocked this paint job out of the park. Very chopper-esque. Metallic flake black with crazy windows of blue lace with white boarders. He also hand made the kick ass head tube badge. Ill have to look for photos of this one built.. by @nativebikes

This was my personal, solid bikes made, Trendkill V1 that had been custom painted trans brown. This was some time before interbike 2011 or 2012. I cannot remember to be honest. Ive always loved the look of a 36 tooth sprocket. Ive been on a 36 for a long time after the small sprocket craze. This bike had the realtree camo @profile_racing hubs and @markmulville push stem. I LOVED this bike. Ive been digging and going down memory lane a lot. be prepared for a lot of show and tell from the beginning to now. Shout out to @moxvell for the beautiful background art by @nativebikes

Okay, in the last few years native bikes has been dormant. There were many factors that played a role in Native's absence. But, I realize that it was cool and made people happy. 2026 will bring new native projects but this is in no way, shape, or form a hard relaunch of a full fledged BMX brand. Native will always be focused on bmx but things will be in very limited editions. This is a creative outlet that I'd like to jump back into. Ive missed the basics of bmx and the fundamentals of being creative with my hands for fun. hang tight. more info soon.... by @nativebikes
