Blast from the past

Glennie our warehouse manager, uploaded this a while back now but it’s a collection of footage from back in 1996 / 1997 from the comps held at Fairfield in Sydney. Look out for clips from myself, Simon O’Brien & Glennie himself.

These comps were some of my best memories of BMX for me no doubt. Bloody good times for sure.

Here is another from back in 2000 from a comp down at The Shed in Melbourne as well. Commentating is Marc Urlich from Strictly BMX fame.

Yo yo !!

Just days back in Oz, I headed to Sydney for the annual bboy event, Shadow Wars! It was amazing, free event in conjunction with ‘Outpost’ exhibition of street art on Cockatoo Island. I did a demo and the breaking was amazing as usual! – Simon.

Simon O’Brien checked in from Japan with another little update…

I had a great session with the locals today at a great riding spot in a park. Afternoon storms clouds rolled through and were amazing, this area is known for good storms. A few of the top riders in Japan have made it up
here tonight, so tomorrow we will have a big jam, should be fun and some serious riding – Simon.

Simon O’Brien in Japan

Simon O’Brien is in Japan & sent in a quick update on his trip so far… read on below.

I arrived in Japan on friday, a little bit colder here than back home, but it’s still great to be here. The following day was the G-Shock invite contest….I didnt win but was still happy with how I rode for the first comp back on the international circuit for sometime. It was great to catch up with great friends and some of the best riders in the business! 430 Clothing and G-Shock did an amazing job!

The last couple of days I have been chilling, checking the sights and checked out a 350 year old bonsai!

Thanks – Simon.

Yo yo !!

Simon is amazing! This video part came out in 2004 and although I am no expert in flatland I know this is good.
