Simon O’Brien is always keeping busy. Here are some quick words from the man himself…
Recently I did a demo for cancer charity, ‘relay for life’. It was good to see a lot of people doing their part for the charity.
I did a demo and donated DejaVu DVD’s for sale with fund going to the cause and gave out some stickers.
In other Simon news, we recently made him a very special one off DejaVu frame, fork & bars in GOLD ED plated. We did it just a thank you for his hard work with us over the years. Expect to see Simon flaunting this new bling in the months ahead.
You can buy Simon’s DejaVu ranges & all our flatland ranges from fine flatland retailers like Flatland Fuel & Newcircle right now.

We have a new addition to the flow team with Bobbie Altiser joining the ranks for us over in the USA.
I am pretty stoked myself to have another fellow front brake rider on the team. Bobbie always have a fresh approach with his riding which is always welcome. He is moving to Long Beach in the next few weeks so there should be a lot more of his riding getting seen very soon. We will also have a full bike check in the next few days, so check back for that soon.
Once again, welcome to the team mate !!
