Shintaro Misawa sent in a quick email on what he has been up to of late…
My old friend from Japan was visiting Malaysia last week. He is also from the same town, Machida Tokyo. The town has a summer festival every year, including BMX show organized by his father. I first saw this festival 15 years ago. It was what got me into riding BMX.
He is a well known photographer, Mr Motoyoshi Yamanaka. This time he has work in Thailand, for photo shooting at Chiang Rai International MTB Challenge. So, came to visit my place in Malaysia to see me. Alright, please check the photo from our session.

Alex Hiam broke his leg a week or so ago now & had to wait till the swelling went down before a cast could be applied. Well he has had that done now & will have about 6 weeks off the bike. He will be back though better than ever on his new Sweet Tooth V2 frame & filming for an upcoming promo video for it. In the meantime, Alex will be back real soon serving up the best coffee in Cleveland.

Tom Stretton has been keeping busy of late. Read on below to see what he has been up too…
Hey guys. Little update of what i’ve been up to lately. So glad it’s summer, even though it seems like we have only had a few days of sunshine as of late. However any day riding is a good one.
Lately I’ve been riding with alot of different people. Jack Birtles and myself have been working on a little skatepark sort of plaza edit for you guys which should be done real soon. It’s been so much fun filming for it and each time I feel like I’m getting that feeling where you are learning a trick for the first time. So much fun. Plus Jack is filming it so you know at least that will be ridiculously on point!
Also been filming for another quick little edit for Lux BMX Store and Afray with the biggest of salads, Troy Charlesworth. That has been mega fun as well. Can’t wait to get some more clippies for that one.
All in all, I’ve been riding when I can as much as I can and have just been searching for that feeling of finding new ground on your bike! Learning something that you didn’t think you could do before or something that you’ve never seen done before. I love that feeling. Can’t wait to go get on my bike in an hour!!!!!!!!!! Also shout out to all the boys at Morayfield. Wish I could get out there to ride with you guys more often but I’m ages away now 🙁 Except Tinny, I dont know whats up with that guy.
Anyway here’s a couple of photos from out filming with Jack and a little camera shot of filming with Salad. Peace!

What’s up guys, it’s Liam checking in here from Long Beach in Cali! I have been here for a little over a week now on a riding trip and it’s amazing! The weather has been treating me well and there are spots everywhere you look. I have been flat out filming everyday and drinking lots and lots of Gatorade haha! Everyone has been super nice and I have met some amazing people. This is defiantly a place every rider needs to come. For now I’m out! Check back for more updates soon! Love y’all!
