Yep - busy day day is ahead to get the shop ready for you to come and see tomorrow… but here’s something that I reckon is more exciting…
Mike Aitken is getting back into it … and that is awesome!!! Click here to read more.
Got this link of a great episode of ABC’s Rush TV via Cam Pianta who is a dirt riding monster.
It’s an epic episode featuring Cam White’s Hillside Jam from a month ago and interviews with Cam White and Corey Bohan. How good is it to see BMX getting mainstream media coverage.!

Orange local and Jam organiser Will Gunn shows how to clear the big gap. Impressive. And check the crowd behind him.
There was a comp on at Ulladulla this past weekend. I wasn’t there for long but I did bump into Corey and Ammon so that was cool. Almost as cool as Ammons first run (see photo below)
Corey chilling out
Ammon and Todd… in matching sunnies
Massive one footer.
Also spotted during Ammons run were ET’s to pig rooter, one handers and bow leg airs. not sure if he did this in a run but there was also a good ol’ backie flyout… while yelling ‘this is for Todd’ ahah. In a sea of kids wearing tight jeans, doing a billion tailwhips and taking things way to seriously it’s very refreshing to see someone HAVING FUN!

The crew from fbm are in town for their Wizards of Aus tour, there is an Instore appearance at Backbone BMX on the 6th March, If you live In Sydney keep a lookout for random appearances at your local park by the lords of fun, loose talk is that the boys are looking to ride at Menai or Helensburg parks on Sunday 8th or Monday 9th…
It’s the beginning of another year and everyone is keen as pie to see what new products/colours/big bars are coming into the country. That got me thinking about what we might see in the years to come, Then i got thinking again ( I’ve had too much time on my hands today) about the future of BMX in general and where it’s heading. If I tried to write down what was in my head chances are it would come out an incoherent mess and in the end I’d just end up swearing at the computer and leaving it. Lucky for everyone I seen this blog post from Taj Mihelich that sums it up perfectly… uncertain times people, uncertain times.

I figured i’d post up a few totaly random photos from the 5 or 6 days we were away.
The trip started out great, nice and sunny, everyone was happy and Todd kicked a giant sheep in the nuts, he was pretty dang stoked about that. We hit the road again and stopped at Gundagai for some ice cream, stretch our legs and fill the lux up with petrol. Once we were back on the road for a few hours we stopped at a random little town called Holebrook, its hours and hours from the coast but there was a giant submarine there aswell as a bunch of other random navy stuff. Its scary to think how well these two would fit into the navy….
Our next stop was an un-scheduled stop on the side of the freeway because i couldn’t see the road, and that’s scary at 110km/h. Despite the storm clearing up after 15 or 20 mins the big black cloud decided to hang over my head the rest of the trip.
The BMX Games kicked off a day or two later and plenty of people threw dowm some stunts…
some people didnt have such luck…
I came out $200 in front playing Blackjack at the casino and Mitchell became a high roller for a few hours shouting everyone drinks untill he lost everything in his wallet playing roulette (about $600)
I went for a roll around the streets with Cooper and a few other guys, that was pretty fun to see a bit of the city like that. We rode a few parks aswell, they were all pretty shit except for Rampfest. That place is a credit to the guys who built and run it. Everyone should go and ride there, its an absolute pleasure.
I think that will do me for now.
