Jonny Devine update…

Tuesday, June 22nd, 2010

Jonny Devine is over here in Brisbane for a month to ride & check out what Brisbane has to offer. He dropped by the office yesterday & I snapped some quick pics of his current ride. He also picked up a new frame too so you can expect to see him on a nice Candy Red Gnarkill here in Brisbane. Jonny also has a Fat Fav’s over on the Fat BMX website which you can check out by clicking here now. It even features some photos taken at the Beenleigh BMX park.

2020 Print Advert.

Tuesday, June 22nd, 2010

Below is our double page advert in the current issue of 2020. Bit of a story behind this one as Clint has talked about wanting to do it this rail for years, 10 years to be exact. Last time I was in Brisbane we went down to this rail to suss it out, we got there too late in the evening to do it but Millar called it out so the next day we went there and he fired it out first go!

Trip Round up #2

Monday, June 21st, 2010

Some more photos from our trip across France and Barcelona, thanks again to Unleaded for helping us out across France.

First up we have Mick Bayzand hanging a rail in France, then we have Liam Fahy-Hampton, Mick Bayzand and Bruno Faucon chilling before the comp down in Aurillac and last but not least this was a spot in Marseille that the locals took us to and a school group were stoked on BMX, they had Marnold doing stunts for them.

Trip Round up #1

Sunday, June 20th, 2010

The trip is coming to an end now, we have a 15 hour flight in the morning then another 8 hours to get home, besides Mick Bazyand who has to wait in singapore for 15 hours until his 2nd flight. Here a few photos I put aside from the trip, I will post up a few more as well.

First up is a photo of me, on the borrowed bike I used for most the trip. Then we have a photo from the centre of Barcelona and last up is a photo of Zac Miner who unfortunately dislocated his knee half way through the trip but he kept positive the whole time.

Shintaro just got back from Kuala Lumpur, Malayasia for an event there called ‘Kejohanan BMX National 2010′. There were riders from all over the world including Canada, Japan, Singapore, Philippines & of course Malaysia. As always Shintaro had a great time & will be back next time.

Our last day in France…

Friday, June 18th, 2010

Today we had a relaxing day which started out at a lunch time picnic at the beach in Palavas. I had been there back in 2001 for a FISE contest so it was cool to go back there to chill by the water. After that we headed back into Montpellier to ride a ditch & a little street. This soon turned into a few drinks at the Australia Pub right by the river. It was a good way to spend the last full day in France. We’re now in Marseille for our flight back to Barcelona for one night before the long 36 hour journey home.

I would like to thank Unleaded for all their amazing support during this trip, without you guys it would not have been so amazing. I would also like to thank everyone who showed us around to spots & showed us great hospitality. Much appreciated !!

We trekked down to Montpellier and although it was terrible weather in Lyon once we got here it was great! We had a great days riding around some local spots, it was good to have a solid days riding after a few days of wet weather. Thanks to all the locals who showed us around.

Lyon, France = wet weather

Wednesday, June 16th, 2010

Since it rained all day here yesterday in Lyon France, we went and rode the indoor park in the evening, everyone seemed to have a good time. This sequence is of Le Goff Guillaume getting his ledge jib on. It may take a little while to load so be patient or perhaps it’s just the slow internet here?

Today we head down to the south of France again hoping for good weather. It’s our second last day here in France before returning home, so would be nice to get a good solid street ride in before the long flight home.

In other news, Mick Bayzand is now the official jib king… or so he claims?

Product highlight – Colonial V2 Cranks

Wednesday, June 16th, 2010

With the unique 2.5 piece design our cranks are a favourite with many riders out there who want a reliable light weight crank. Keeping them nice & simple with the one bolt design is where we’ve shaved the weight off without sacrificing the strength. Check them out in all our colours at a store near you now. You can also click here now to get the full low down.

More of that bowl…

Here is a full shot of the bowl we rode on Sunday evening. It was one of the most fun bowls I have ever ridden, such a treat.

Crazy Bowl.

Monday, June 14th, 2010

Yesterday we were treated to some what of a private session at the indoor bowl here in Aurillac, France. This thing was super smooth and was a pleasure to ride, even for the more street rider types it was still awesome to hit the vert wall with some speed. Thanks to all the locals who made it possible for us to ride and sorry that we were late!

The photo below is of Marnold who felt right at home in this bowl. Today we continue the journey across France!
