The Shed Skatepark down in Cranbourne, Melbourne are having a series of comps leading up to a grand final in April next year with some great prizes up for grabs. More importantly though, good times on your bike to be had. I would expect that you will see our newest recruit, Dean Anderson there shredding. You may even be blessed with the Pete Radivo show. Pete rules. Check the flyer below for details.

Alex through some raw random clips out there… check it.
Words from the man himself, “This vid is nothing serious, just all my stupid sketchy funy clips left over :)”

Here is a cool video with Ryan explaining the origins of his Dagger Forks & Bars along with some insight into Dagger the name sake. You can check out his Dagger forks & Dagger bars in our products section.
On a funny story to go with Dagger & myself… One year I stayed at Ryan’s place back in Greenville & I stayed up stairs in the poker room on a make shift bed. Somehow, while we went away for the weekend, Dagger decided to climb up all the steps to the top of the house & leave me 6 little brown Dagger nuggets on my bed !! The little bastard !! Guess that was his way of saying thanks for sneaking him extra food when no one was looking. Miss you Dagger – R.I.P.

This is awesome. Ave BMX who hold down & do a great job distributing our products in Poland took their team on a road trip & this is the end result. Look out for clips from our own Michal Mycek in the mix. That cut he sustained looked harsh but still came back for me afterwards. Grab a coffee, sit back & enjoy.

The day we checked out of & left Woodward West there was a Free Flow Tour stop being held there. Local rider Sebastian Smith who rides for Colony through Sidewall Distribution’s Crux Division program scored himself a well deserved 1st place. We had the pleasure to hang & ride with Sebastian whilst there & I can easily see why he won, he has the place on lock down. Well done mate !!

Anton McGuirk is back on the bike now after his back injury earlier this year. He has popped on over to Woodward East for a month to get back into the swing of things. He would’ve come here to Woodward West with us but at the time he was still not sure when he would be back on the bike at the time we booked this trip. Expect some updates here from Anton over the month ahead.

Strictly BMX down in Melbourne are one dialled BMX store. It’s been said before that if Apple were ever to get into retail BMX, this is what their store would be like. Dialled. They have one the world’s largest ranges in stock at anyone time & they know their products. They carry our full range of products & can ship anywhere in the world. Mick Bayzand also rides for them & has done for many years now. Check them out online or in-store if you are ever in the area.

Pete Radivo is a machine. He recently met up with Stewart Munro & clocked 20 clips & 5 runs in one riding session. Knowing Pete, they would all be banging clips too. He has been on point for as long as I can remember & just seems to be getting better all the time. We miss you over here in the states Pete, wish you could’ve come !!
