I’d heard that this may have been a possibility a while back but hadn’t heard anything in a while, then clocked this post over on Scott Ditchburn‘s instagram just last night and was so stoked for him. Scott has been keeping this under wraps for a while, and rightly so. This is HUGE news!

The legendary metal band Slayer are doing a collab with Subrosa and Ditchburn’s signature THUNDERBEAST frame is getting gored up for the occasion. I’m not sure, but I think I can hear the sound of metalhead BMXers everywhere rejoicing…  This thing looks so f-ing sick!

I asked Scott how this all came about and he told me, “Some of the members of the band used to ride” –  You learn something new every day, guessing they were pretty stoked on the idea!

????????????????????????been wanting to tell everybody about this for awhile now :)))) can't believe my signature @subrosabrand frame the #thunderbeast is soon to be available in a @slayerbandofficial collab colour way! Can't thank Everyone who made this a reality enough im beyond happy! @subrosabrand @subrosabrand @slayerbandofficial @slayerbandofficial @subrosabrand @subrosabrand ????????????????????????#subrosaslayer #slayer #bmx #subrosateam

“We couldn’t think of a bigger way to celebrate our 10th year as a brand than teaming up with Slayer to create some of the most badass BMX bikes ever seen. I am stoked, and frankly still blown away to introduce you to the Subrosa/ Slayer Collaboration.
BMX has always had love for metal. Whether it’s in the headphones of riders ripping through town, background music during a contest run, or the soundtrack to some of the most famous and influential video parts, Slayer has been a huge piece of it all.

Subrosa is a BMX lifestyle brand with the goal of producing high quality complete bikes, after market frames, parts and softgoods with great attention to detail, while always representing what BMX means to us.
We are humbled and honored to be teaming up with Slayer on this project. We wanted to create bikes that BMX riders could use and abuse, and we had to do justice to Slayer and their fans by creating a look that would represent the band, and stand out from anything we’ve done before.
The “Cradle to Grave” theme in this collaboration project will embrace audiences from all ages because once you are a Subrosa or a Slayer fan, you are a fan for life.

The entire Subrosa / Slayer collection will be available worldwide in October.

Contact your local authorized Subrosa dealer, or favorite BMX mail-order and talk to them about how to order yours today.

You can add this to your memorabilia collection, or tear open the box and ride the hell out of them!” –Ryan Sher / Subrosa Brand Manager
