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.

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.

Ryan’s report from Cam’s Jam

I received a phone call from Ryan the other night asking if it was cool he gave his bike away at Cams Jam. I said sure if you think it’s a good thing… read on below.

What a rad weekend, I had the chance to go to Cam White’s Jam and had a blast. The riding was amazing Jed Mildon did a double flip on the massive jump and James Foster did a whip to double whip back. Crazy. Everything was towards charity from rider entry fee to buying food for the night. I wanted to do my part so I jumped on the mic and said if I see a kid screaming all night for the riders or just somthing really crazy I’d give that person my bike. What I saw was pretty funny it had the crowd going wild, as best trick was going on, a guy ran from the roll in all the way to the last jump NAKED. I thought it was pretty cool so at the awards I called him out and gave him my bike.

So a big thank you to Colony for giving me the chance to do that. Your’e the man Clint. If you get a chance to get to Cam White’s Jam next year, do it one of the best times ever… Ryan.

Dealer highlight – Crossley Cycles

I think it’s pretty safe to say that Crossley Cycles is the longest running BMX shop in Australia. I first went there myself back in 1988 & have gone there ever since. Both Richard & Mick Lav know their stuff & have one of the best stocked shops without a doubt. If they don’t have it then it’s not worth having… check them out online or better yet, give them a call. Click here to check out their website now.

On the road again…

They’re all coming up here to hang for a week then we all head back down to Sydney then Canberra the week after. Should be fun times.

Make sure to come along & say g’day at one of our store appearances scheduled over the next few weeks. They start this Thursday at Crossley Cycles then Friday at Helensvale BMX.
