BVD update
Hey guys, I am making the move back to my hometown for the winter. Vancouver has helped me out so much with riding/growing as a human, along with meeting sooo many awesome people. I will surely be back next spring!
For the last little bit I’ve just been trying to sneak in as much riding as I can before I leave, hitting the Killemall Canadian Concrete jams and venturing around the city. Here’s a shot from Shawn Duffield in a 2 foot ditch the other day. Spot is real fun and hard to ride.
Victor Salazar
We have been flowing Victor some parts for a little while now through Epic Bmx and he was good enough to send over some real nice shots that Bryan Decker took. Those trails look amazing…

Ohio Dreams
Last week I was lucky enough to go to Ohio Dreams camp and enjoy 4 days out there. The reason I went out was for the 3rd stop of the Recon tour, I’m a huge supporter of Recon because it’s one of the only good organized AM comps going on around America. These top AM are amazing and the future of bmx so I want to keep my eyes on things and help them when I can. I did two Guettler boot camps to help riders with runs and tricks and just have a good time, plus I announced the event on Saturday. While I was at the comp it was my Birthday so I rode the race track and trails all day and was one of the best days this year. If you want to check out the video of the event hit this link
Thanks guys, check out more of what I’m up to via ryanguettler.com

Alex Hiam update
Hey Guys !!
The last week has flown by. Unfortunately I lost my licence, and have worked close to 40 hours this week at the Cafe. The bright side of the 10km ride to work is In 6 degrees early in the morning it really warms you up like nothing else. I am saving all my work money towards a huge next year to goto all the contests like Fise in france, Nass in england etc, It’s going to be bananas !!
It’s awesome to be back home riding close to everyday again. I have riden a bunch this week in-between work and feeling amazing on my bike. There’s a few videos over on my instagram @alexhiam
Brandon KEA trip
Hey guys, I just wrapped up the Killemall trip all around Alberta and northern B.C. Some of the spots and scenery we hit were mind blowing! 10 days on the road flew by and we managed a nice balance between riding/driving/chilling. Every time awesome trips like these happen it really reminds you how rad the BMX community is. New friends and memories. That’s what this shit’s all about!
Nathan Sykes and Locals Only.

Alex Hiam update
Hey guys,
I just got back from a week in Phuket – Thailand with my sister. My sister & her Boyfriend originally planned to goto one of our close friends wedding in Thailand but unfortunately my sisters boyfriend couldn’t make it.. So like a boss he offered to pay for my flights to thailand to spend with my sister and celebrate our friends wedding. I couldn’t believe it & when I first got to Phuket it was mind blowing. All the scenery and beaches were just like I have seen on postcards.
The people are so nice and genuine there and really make you feel special. It was a crazy experience for me to see how 3rd world countries live. It really makes you grateful for what you have back home. It was cool how cheap everything is over there, for example $5 aud a day to hire mopeds :O !! I loved the food also, so cheap but so tasty and amazing.
The week went so fast because everyday we had something cool planned. One day we got to go out on a Private boat and party and cruise around all the islands around Phuket.
I have attatched Loads of pics of my trip – I hope you get to goto thailand one day, it’s beautiful ..
I am back in Brisbane now and my wrist is all healed up and can’t wait to ride again….

Zac Miner update
Hey guys, I just recently went over on a weeks trip to New Zealand with some girlfriends of mine for their birthday. The trip was pretty good, NZ is amazing! Traveling around with three girls, not so amazing! After one forgot her current passport, losing one of their phones and keys to the apartment and crashing the campervan we had, it really put a downer on the trip. Mind you the country is sick, the people are lovely, I’m definitely going back some time soon and having a proper ride.
My biggest advice I can give anyone, make sure you get travel insurance if your traveling anywhere with women ha.
Ryan Guettler update
Last update was from Woodward camp that I was riding at to be ready for the big ramps at dew tour in Ocean City over the past weekend. The course was amazing and it flowed well. I planned out a good run for qualifying but 1st run I crashed a double flip, 2nd run I did a whole 45 secs to just get my confidence up again but knew it would not be enough to get in, last run I cased right before the box and changed up my run and didn’t make finals. I happy with how I rode and now I’m back in Cali so time to move on and get ready for the next comps. This month I have vans bowl jam on the beach, recon tour and Ryan’s boot camp at Ohio dreams and the Vans block comp. Also having Andy buckworth staying with me so we are going to do a split monster edit.
