Pete Radivo has always been one of my favourite riders out there & he is still very much killing it doing his own thing. Pete scores our splash page for the next while now along with our Contour rims available now.

On November 6th, episode 49 of Rush TV aired here in Australia which featured a little piece on Alex Hiam. You can watch it online by clicking here now. Just skip to 14.35 min to see Alex’s piece of you don’t have the time to watch the entire show. Be quick though as the episode expires online in 6 hours from now.
In other Alex news, he is still off the bike from his broken leg 3 months ago & has been told by the doctor he will have to wait another 3 months till he can ride again. Needless to say the little fella is going crazy with so much time off the bike. Rest assured though he will be back on the bike & shredding once again.

Team rider Paddy Gross sent me over this photo he came across of Clint Millar from what must be a lifetime ago (year 2000 actually) riding the very ramp Paddy grew up riding and learning tricks on in Trier, Germany. It really is a small world when it comes to BMX!
Random fact I found out when working out where Trier was is that it is the oldest city in Germany.
We have been out and about this week riding around Melbourne, sometimes we need to hide from the rain so undercover spots are in order….

It’s always interesting coming over here to Taiwan. A very different culture in so many ways & one of the most interesting changes is the food. I have to say this was a first for me & one that wasn’t all that bad. Deep fried bees !! No real taste, just very crunchy. I can now notch up another new experience had in Taiwan with many more to come I am sure.

Good friend of mine and many others here in Australia, Allan Briotti past away in September and the crew over at The Sanction have setup a raffle to help raise some money to put towards Allans funeral bills. We have gotten behind the raffle with some prizes. So if you have some spare coin and want to have the chance to win some great prizes go here to get involved.
The guys over at Tabletop Distribution in the UK have been flowing a young Liam Vance a bunch of Colony stuff for a while now & here is his latest new bike. A 2011 Sweet Tooth looking really good in all Wasabi. Many thanks to Alan Woods.

I spotted this cool photo of Zac Miner on Doug Taylor’s portfolio site and thought I should share it. Zac just got back from America and is up in Brisbane for the next few days so keep an eye out for him floating about.
Tom Stretton is the king in my mind when it comes to front wheel brakeless trickery. Here he shows you how to do a whiplash (or tailwhip nosepick). Now get out there kids & learn that sucker! Thanks to Ryan for the photography & layout.

A while back I posted an edit on our site here from a Tim Knoll. It had some really original flatland/street moves which was amazing. Well, Tim needed a new frame a while back & he chose a Sweet Tooth for his new frame, I was stoked. Here is Tim’s latest edit & it’s got some completely original flatland/street moves on there. Check it out for sure.

Zac Miner recently was lucky enough to experience riding Ryan Nyquist’s private indoor park, The Unit in Greenville. He is now on his way to LA to see the wife & then head to Vegas to hang out & watch the last Dew Tour of the year. More fun times ahead I am sure.
