If you’re into flatland make sure you check out Shane’s online flatland specific store. The only place to get flatland gear in Australia. Newcircle is the name & flatland is the game.. check it.

Shane Badman sent in a quick update of his travels of late.

Left Brisbane about a week ago or so and with my bike in my car I drove down the east coast of Australia taking in a bunch of places along the way. It was good to check out Byron Bay and Coffs Harbour again but with all the rain we’ve been having here the past few weeks unfortunately I couldn’t get out for any decent sessions. So driving on, I went through Sydney, past Canberra and on through the Snowy Mountains to a little country town called Traralgon in eastern Victoria where my girlfriend’s family live. Plan is to have Christmas here, then spend a little time in Melbourne with the local riders before heading on to Adelaide along the Great Ocean Road and then back to Brisbane.

Since I’ve been away I’ve been getting in as much riding as possible and even did a demo yesterday at Toongabbie Primary School, which is an awesome little country town out in country Victoria. Thanks for having me guys and it was awesome to see the kids stoked on BMX and Flatland! More updates soon… Shane.

Glennie our warehouse manager, uploaded this a while back now but it’s a collection of footage from back in 1996 / 1997 from the comps held at Fairfield in Sydney. Look out for clips from myself, Simon O’Brien & Glennie himself.

These comps were some of my best memories of BMX for me no doubt. Bloody good times for sure.

Here is another from back in 2000 from a comp down at The Shed in Melbourne as well. Commentating is Marc Urlich from Strictly BMX fame.

Re-post… just cause I love it.

About a month ago we spent the evening in Canberra where Zac Miner lives riding Woden park. Zac rode really well and mixed it up and hit a bunch of wild lines throughout the park, I don’t think footage does it justice to how fast he was hitting some of these lines but it was amazing.

Filmed by Daniel Johnson and Cooper Brownlee.

On only the second day of our Adelaide trip, Alex Hiam took a fall on the city trails, which resulted in him not being able to ride the rest of the trip. We all thought (including Alex) that it was just a sore finger & nothing too serious. Well he went to the doctors today & it turns out he has a broken hand. He will now be in a cast for the next 3 weeks, wishing you a fastest recovery mate.

Yo yo !!
