Here is a cool introduction to the brand new park in Melbourne called, Rampfest. It gives you a really good overview of this amazing place. I was down here for the opening night & it was a treat to be here for it. This is going to be a great thing for the riding scene in Melbourne & a huge shout out goes to Brett for stepping up with such a huge project. Everyone should get to the park & show some support.
Yo… I am off to Melbourne today to check out the opening night of Rampfest. Should be a great time indeed. I will also do some riding in & around Melbourne & hang out with Pete Radivo. Fun times ahead !!
If you’re in Melbourne this weekend make sure you get out there for the first official BMX day on Saturday.

A few weeks ago I met Nick at Beenleigh to film one last time before his pending knee surgery. We got some footage clocked in an afternoon & this is the result. Nick is now out for 8 months with his knee recon & we wish him the best & fastest recovery.
Click here to check out his efforts that one afternoon a few weeks ago.
Check back in the next week or two for info on how you can make a bid for Nick’s personal bike, as seen above, to help him pay off his medical bills.

Oleg Alexsandrov, our boy in Russia, sent me a link to his latest web edit he has floating around cyber space. Some rather impressive moves in there for sure. He also told me about a comp called the Adrenalin Games happening in Moscow September 20th & 21st. If you’re in Moscow then check it out. Click here for more information.

As reported a couple weeks ago, there is a comp going down in Rockhampton that should be a bit of fun. A few guys from the team will be coming up with myself including Alex Hiam. Click here to see an advert for the comp that will appear on local TV stations in Rockhampton. See you there !!

The first batch of 2009 Hell Stallion frames are getting painted right now & ready to be shipped out.
Liam’s frame has been refined even further now & will feature removable brake hardware & an improved built-in seat clamp with replaceable nut & bolt. We also refined the drop outs with a cleaner shape & lighter design.
His final production frame weighs in at 4.76lbs of full post heat treated beauty.
Expect it to be available from mid to late September in most countries.

Yo… check these two totally random, unrelated fan photos that I have been sent recently.

The guys over at Strictly BMX have a pretty cool simulator where you can get an idea of what your custom colour co-ordinated bike could look like. Try it out with our White Limited Edition parts in mind perhaps?
Check it out by clicking here.

We have done a limited run of White products which have just landed in most countries now. You can get Official Stems, Pivotal Slim seats (with either Red or Purple stars), Pivotal seat posts, our Headsets, Clone Hubs & our Transformer Levers (not pictured) all in White. Add this to some of already available items like Bloody Oath Bars in White & you can colour code your bike all the way.

Cover boy, Mick Bayzand, sent me a bunch of random pics from his times in Vancouver so far. He has been having a blast & riding heaps which is awesome to see. Plenty of good times by the looks of things & we certainly miss him here back in Oz.
A huge shout-out go to the guys at Tenpack for looking after Mick while he is there. Thanks !!
Yo yo !!
