We finally made it to Greenville, NC yesterday. We are experiencing pro-town USA first hand & I gotta say it’s lives up to it’s name. We rode Jaycee park yesterday which was awesome to do. I only wish I wasn’t so tired from driving all day so I could’ve had a better ride.

Today we were lucky enough to check out Ryan Nyquist’s The Unit. This place rules, period. So many good lines & such a relaxed session. I was stoked to be there for sure. Liam even learnt flairs on the box jump take off. So good to see.

Colin Mackay with THE key to The Unit.

Tonight as I write this I just lost at poker in Guettler’s personal poker room in his attic. Good times for sure.

Tomorrow hopefully we get to ride Mirra’s warehouse which will be an experience.

Yo yo !!

A couple days ago we rode the most amazing street any of us have ever experienced. The college in Athens, GA is totally amazing. Words cannot describe it. Liam & Mick totally killed it. Massive icepick grinds, 17 stair round rail psi rides to name a few. Even Richo & myself slid a bunch of rails. I haven’t any pics right now to post but there will be heaps to see in Ride BMX magazine & also in the web videos we will edit up from the trip. Stay tuned.

We were at the Baco Jam yesterday which was awesome to see as well. So much good riding & so much eye candy for all. The halloween party after was totally amazing. We gotta start doing halloween like that back home.

Tonight we start the drive to Greenville, NC & will be riding there for the next 3 days before heading to Woodward East. But not before the real halloween party on Wednesday night. Yeah yeah !!

Crap photo I know but you get the idea.

Yo yo !!

Here are a few random pics that Guettler took so far on our trip over here in the US. Ryan himself had to leave for a few days but will meet back up with us soon in Greenville, NC.

The title says it all, Richo in full effect.

I finally got to ride one of these set-ups & loved it.

Today we had an amazing day exploring the street spots here in Athens, GA. Tomorrow we will go back & hit them all up. Should be an amazing day. We will then head back to Orlando for Baco Jam.

Yo yo !!

We are now in Athens, GA. Yesterday we rode the No Name Park in Greenville, SC for a session to hide from the rain. The day before that we rode The Factory Skatepark to get away from the rain. At The Factory we rode for like 8 hours which was pretty good to do so. I will post some pics once Guettler emails them to me.

Now its finally good weather, so we’re going to check out the concrete park here in Athens & then go ride some street. Should be fun. More pics & posts soon.

Whats up Internet! wowsers, we just got back fromn the annual T.O.A.S.T ( Too Old After Sixteen!) Jam in Wellington, it was it’s tenth year anniversary, so it was a bit of a doozy! Myself,  zombie mike, Lester from quietchaos and Sir Smokealot himself The Wazman all went down, we stopped in at my Bach on our way down, and chilled, did some quality reading, wazman found this picture of an ‘ASS’ that he wants to get tattooed on him, and zombie mike caught up on some ideas for his garden, we chilled in the hotpools hard as well, bye bye aches and pains! we arrived at toast jam on friday evening, thanks mike lips for letting us stay at your house!! Basically riders from around the country come together to hangout, do a bit of riding, quite a bit of eating, and a whole lot of partying! lookout for a full rundown and some pics in an upcoming issue of 20/20 bmx magazine sometime soon! Also attached is a pic of our drink of choice! ahaha, it has the word ‘RAD’ in it, friggin sweet shit!

Oh yeah, had a visitor the other day as well, Taj came to stay all the way from Austin, he came over to hangout, ride his road bike, chill at the beach and basically re-charge his batteries. I haven’t seen him in ages so it was really good to have him stay and catch up. thats all for now, peace homies!

We left Orlando today but not before dropping in to check out Chad DeGroot’s Mesh Skatepark & Pro shop. This place is amazing !! Definately one of the best parks we have ever seen & an amazing shop as well. Pitty it was too hot & we were on a time schedule to ride but we will be back on the weekend for Baco.

While we were there a UPS truck arrived & in the back was a Colony Sect frame box… it ended up being the prizes from Colony for Baco on the weekend. It was awesome to see a Colony box being delivered in the US. Stoked. Big thanks to Tip Plus for getting out the prizes so fast.

Tomorrow we will hit the streets of Atlanta & some parks as well. Looking forward to finally riding our bikes. Check back for more updates tomorrow.

Mick & Liam bought themselves some blinging watches today at the mall. That how we roll. Yeah yeah !!

Yo yo !!

Last night was a huge night for all of us. So much random stuff happened, like this guy that pulled up beside us in his blinging car & showed off his Lamborgini style doors to us for no reason at the lights. Crazy.

We all felt it today that’s for sure. All good though & totally a really fun time. The finals for street were cool to see. The level of rding was amazing. We are expecting more party time tonight with the official Dew Tour after party.

Tomorrow we head to Atlanta & will actually start to do some riding !! We’re all looking forward to it as we haven’t ridden since leaving Australia 5 days ago.

Yesterday we went to the Dew Tour in Orlando & saw some crazy riding go down. It was cool to finally see one of these big comps in person. So many people there & so many friends from around the world. It’s always good to catch up with everyone & talk the shit.

Ryan had some bad luck in dirt though. We arrived just in time to see his first run & he killed it. Then for his second run he went for a double backie off the first set & ended up getting knocked out. He was OK though but unable to finish or ride in street later in the day. I was bummed for him but Ryan being the champ that he is smiled all the while. Ryan rules, period.

Yo yo !!

After one of the worst travel ventures I have ever experienced, we finally made it Orlando. What could go wrong, did go wrong, from delayed or cancelled flights to messed up car rentals to messed up hotel bookings, we got it all.

We even experienced American food at it’s worst. We all made good use (or was that bad use?) of the airline food vouchers for our cancelled flights & made pigs of ourselves. Richo & Liam had double western cheese burgers & paid for it later that night. We all felt rather ill today & I swear to never eat that much or that bad again. Richo & Liam couldn’t help themselves & are right back into it. Brave kids.

Tomorrow we head to the Dew Tour to watch, which should be cool. We will hook up with Steve Woodward & Ryan Guettler tomorrow. Ryan qualified 1st in Dirt today with a history making 1080. Can’t wait to see the that in the finals in person.

Yo yo !!

Yeah, we’re bringing our first night in the states with a bang here… $4.00 bottles of Jim Beam are quite the ticket. Bwrahahahaha.

Yo yo !!
