Just a random shot of Zac Miner from last night whilst we were cruising around Sydney city last night.
After almost ten years of lobbying spear headed by Shane Conlon down in Coffs Harbour, they are getting closer to having a park built there. The budget set aside so far is $1million so they should get a pretty decent park finally. If you could show your support for the park by clicking the link here & submitting your email it will form another sign of support to the Coffs Harbour council. There are some people in the community against the new park but if we all show our support for it it will go ahead. Click the link here now & show your support.
As you can see above, Coffs Harbour needs your help, their park as it is now is terrible !!

Myself, Stu Munro, Mick Bayzand and Zac Miner are in Canberra at the moment, just a couple random shots from yesterday…

Chances are you have never been to Darwin or even the Northern Territory here in Australia (I know I haven’t yet) but there is definitely a scene up there. We have the good guys at SpokesNT along with the Darwin Scene blog, well now they are trying to get an indoor park up there so if you can spare two clicks of your time to Like this Facebook page it might just help the crew up there out and you never know it could help give you another reason to get up there.

Unleaded are our official retail direct outlet in France & the guys there run a tight ship. Bruno Faucon is our rider over there & kills it on every terrain. This over ice he did here in Aurillac, France was amazing, there is a 10 foot plus drop on the other side of that rail. Bruno scores the splash page of the Unleaded site for moment as seen below.
They also have some dope custom Colony complete bikes for sale which you can scope by checking here now.

I have ridden the skatepark at Macksville once before to break the drive from Brisbane to Sydney. It needs your help right now. It is dire need of a re-vamp & if you were to help sign the petition it could very well help the cause. Click here to give your support. Hopefully they can keep the old bowl & add some much needed new ramps.
Click here for the facebook page that has been set up for the cause.

I have known Pete for a few years now with dealings at previous stores he used to manage over the years. He had always talked about doing his own shop one day. Last year he finally put that dream into reality & opened Freeriders Bike Shop in Camira. In a short time he has grown his store into something special catering for all kinds of 2 wheeled fun. He carries our full ranges including our complete bikes. Situated just down the road from the park at Springfield which is always fun to ride. Next time you’re out that way pop in & say g’day.

Simon O’Brien was recently up in Brisbane to film & crashed riding the bowl at Fairfield. His knee has now swollen up pretty bad & is in a lot of pain. Hopefully he isn’t out for too long & will be back on the bike soon enough. Rest up mate.

Today Zac did some damage to his knee, hopefully it’s not to bad. We were just watching the clip from it and this screen shot is a perfect description of the pain he was in after the incident, what he was trying would have been awesome though…
Cooper Brownlee sent in a little email about a new park near his place, read on below…
We have a new indoor park just opened up 15 minutes from my house called, Rampit. If you’re into grinds you will love this place, super fun with some cool lines. I just wish they would fix the slippery concrete. Thanks to Sam Illman for the photo.
