Alex Hiam on Rush TV

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.

Circa Millar

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.

Melbourne weather…

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….

Dinner – Taiwan style

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.

For a good cause…

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.

Only in Taiwan

Spotted this amazing scene yesterday here in Taichung, Taiwan. Gotta love it !!

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.
