My main man in the UK, Jonny Devine, sent in an email with some pics of his new bike he just put together & a sweet 180 as well. The weather has been rather cold over there he says but has been making the most if it. In fact, he said it got up to 14 degrees the other day. Just a little bit cooler than the 31 degrees it is here right now. Damn.
Yo yo !!
But I could not resist posting this gem of a pic I found in my files !! The pic must be at least 3-4 years old I think? To those that know Ho out there they will find this funny for sure. Sorry mate !!

Ryan Guettler’s Official stem is still one of my favourite products we have put out since we started as a company a few years ago. I guess it’s just the mixture of it’s unique look, clean design, light weight & overall finish of the stem that I like so much. Many other riders out there must feel the same since our stem is one of the most popular stems on the market. Check one out at a store near you now & see what you think yourself.

Ryan just sent me a cool email about him going racing… what? Read on below.
I just got done with the ’09 Winter Nationals in Phoenix, AZ. I arrived back from Australia on Monday and Jerry Badders (Vans team manager) asked if I wanted to watch him race in Phoenix on the weekend and then fly to Greenville after.
I was down but as soon as I heard Nasty was going to race I wanted too also. Jerry got me a bike and full face and even went to Vans and got all matching long sleeves Tees. Jerry drove the Vans bus on Thursday and I stayed behind in Cali and rode Sheephills and got my berm and race sprints on then got a flight that night. On Friday we got to the race track, did a few starts but I soon realised I suck at gate starts. I was getting waxed by every man and his dog, even a little girl on a pink bike smoked me off the line!
Once I got going it was smooth racing though. Saturday might of been the funniest and fun day I’ve ever had. I never knew Nasty used to race and he is fast as, jumping the triples and easy won his class. My class was harder for me too win but I came through with a win and I’m pumped as.
Racing is super fun and I’m going to try and go to a lot more races. Thanks to every one who gave me pointers about gate starts and to Jerry, Vans shoes, Monster Energy and Mirra co for getting me a bike, helmet and loads of fun. Dig deep and pedal like you stole it hahahahha.

Zac sent me a quick email to say he has been riding a bit of late but also his foot is still giving him troubles & he may go see a doctor about it, yes please do Zac !!

Also here are a couple of older pics of Zac from nahyouritemate courtesy of Nick Gascoine.
