Derrick from Pure BS in Mackay sent in some pics from the jam there earlier in the month. Looks like it was fun with the ghetto set ups. Gotta make it for next years jam for sure.

Shintaro Misawa recently visited the Philippines for a flatland event there & ended up taking out 2nd place. Congrats mate !! Shintaro really has had a great year on the worldwide flatland circuit & I am excited to see what he has in store for 2010. He also recently got himself a new sponsor in the form of Newcircle out of Australia.

We have got behind this comp in Wangaratta with The Sanction to make it possible to have an impressive $700 purse for the open class. Get yourself there for some fun times no doubt. Go see Simon & Dre at The Sanction for more info.

Alex Hiam, Nick Richardson, Tom Stretton & myself all went down to Shane Conlon’s comp at his local on the weekend & it was a really fun time. Shane organised the event to raise awareness of the fact that Coffs Harbour needs it’s own ramp park, as it is well behind other regions in the area.

Alex ended up killing it & got 2nd place & $500 for his efforts while Shane ended up winning, showing he really is unbeatable on his home turf. A big shout out must go to Shane for all his efforts in organising the weekend.

We also rode a local full pipe which was a bit of fun & got up to plenty of party antics during the night. Good times in general.

Tim Wood & his partner recently had a baby boy on the 6th of December. Elijah John Wood was born 7 pounds 13 ounces & 54cm tall. Both Mum & baby are healthy & well. Tim says he makes the right noises when taken out near the ramps, so we could have another rider spinning 900’s in the years ahead. Congratulations to you both !!
