Recently, SDSS has reinvigorated the research of asteroid color properties by producing a large volume of accurate color data to several magnitudes fainter completeness limit than available before. To date, SDSS has observed over 200,000 moving objects in five photometric bands. The resulting moving object catalog (``SDSSMOC'') can be downloaded from http://www.sdss.org/science/. We used SDSSMOC to search for, and study properties of solar system objects whose observed angular velocity indicates distances between the main belt and the Kuiper Belt. Extensive visual selection was used to clean the candidate list from various contaminants. We summarize the results of this search and discuss a color vs. semi-major axis relationship for asteroids beyond the main belt.
