Miner has a close call
Zac Miner was recently bitten by a suspected White Tailed Spider which can have devastating results if not attended to quickly. Read on below for details from Zac. Get well soon mate !!
So yeah, I came home from the Colony trip, after spending a good 8 hours in pain in the car. After everyones advice I finally agreed to see the doc. I was dropped off and I was expecting to only be there for a little bit, next thing you know I’m being admitted to hospital, straight into surgery. The docs cut into my 3 bites, cutting out all the bacteria and potential venom, leaving me with these three craters on my back, arse and leg. In full recovery now after spending 4 days in hospital. I’m up in Canberra chillin with family and friends. Can’t wait to be back on the bike!!! Just greatful I actually went to hospital, ha.

Above All in-store report
On Wednesday we had the in-store at Above All BMX in Engadine. It started out well with a good turnout & we started the bunny hop comp. Then the police we’re called by someone nearby saying there was a menacing crowd of BMXer’s causing trouble. So far from the truth. Either way were were told we had to shut it down. We all retreated to behind the shop & made the most of it with a mass games of dice for the prizes. The BBQ started up & all was good. Thanks to Laura from Above All & thanks to big Eric for taking the heat from the police. A big thanks to all those that came out & hung out, good times.

BMX for Floods – Beenleigh
Yesterday the nation wide BMX for Floods jams went down to raise funds for the flood appeal. The Beenleigh leg went down really well even with the 37 plus degree heat we had to endure. Not sure exactly on the amount raised but I believe it was well over $2,000 so far. Thanks too all that came out & made it a huge success.
Guettler got everyone to make a bike pile after the day finished & here is the result.

Peta down but not out
Yesterday Peta Shepherd had a bad crash on a tailwhip nosepick gone wrong. She took it hard & ended up having to go to hospital. She will need some facial surgery & dental work in the weeks ahead. It was one of the scariest crashes I have seen. Paddy & I visited her today & she is in great spirits talking about riding again already. Such a trooper !! Rest up Peta & please take it easy.
