Steven, our flow rider from Canada knows how to ride transition. This was filmed over the course of 30 minutes at his local park.
Make sure you come past the Sidewall Distribution booth which is stand #26071 if you are heading to Interbike over the next few days. We will have a full range of products on display for everyone to check out.
In the not to distant future we will have a Marnold DVD left overs edit but for now you get this ice photo that we shot on the weekend.
Marnold, Mick, Brock Olive and Cooper all have some really good clips in this mixtape edit from Focalpoint.

Our flow rider Michal Mycek from Poland has been on an amazing trip the last two months where he has visited 31 cites in 7 countries including Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Kroatia & Serbia. Here are a couple photos from his trip.
Mick gives us the latest on his trip….
Hey, it’s Mick again! Kimberly and I just came out of the rainforest in Paluma Range National Park. They call it “the village in the clouds,” and it sure was. We drove up a winding road forever to get to the top of the jungle. We hiked along the creek bed at Crystal Creek jumping over boulders and loosing ourselves further into the jungle. I went off on my own at one point and nearly stepped on a 6m long python! This thing could’ve swallowed a cow whole. I’ve never ran down a waterfall so quick in my life. Kimberly says it’s the first time she’s ever heard me scream. The river itself was the most amazing swimming whole I’ve swam in. The water was freezing, but beautiful. You came out feeling so refreshed. I swam around the rapids for ages. Then we hiked through some pretty dense jungle until we came across a set of some even bigger waterfalls. I went off on my own and followed the rocks nearly to the bottom of the mountain. That was a real adventure. I nearly died a couple of times crossing falling trees and leaping across the stones. I felt like a little kid again getting myself into trouble and finding my way out. It was a crazy adventure to say the least..
This has pretty much nothing to do with BMX but thought it may be of interest of some out there. For those that know me, know that I am a VW fan. It was a beautiful sunny Sunday here, so I went down to a VW Show N Shine in my beloved ’62 Type 3 Squareback. It was a perfect day to chill out & go for a cruise. I captured a few images from the day & here they are below.

Shintaro shot us an email about how he just recently got back from the Double Control flatland comp over in Bangkok, Thailand. He said he had a blast. Shintaro is one well travelled man.

Bayzand has been all over the place up north of late, here is the latest from Teddy.
Hey guys, it’s Mick again to let you know some more of what I’ve been up to. Kimberly and I sailed on a catamaran for a few days around the Whit Sundays. It was amazing. We woke up in the early hours of the morning to snorkel the reef. Underneath the surface the coral and fish were mind blowing. I’ve never seen so many crazy colours altogether. One day we even saw a whale breach the water, it was right out of a documentary. We got to go to White Haven beach. It’s by far the most beautiful beach I’ve ever seen. We walked up to the lookout where you could see the water and sand swirl together down below like a painting. It was unreal. By night we got to drink with the others on board and the crew. Thanks to the Skipper and crew for making it such a great trip, something we’ll remember for a very long time.
Cooper has a new oneclip over on the Focalpoint site with some front & rear brake action on my bike… guess I better learn some new tricks since he just did all 3 of mine… haha.
Yo yo !!
Our distributor in Spain, Promotions Otreal have been helping out a local rider there with Colony parts for a little while now.

Thanks to Tito for helping out Ruben.

I randomly thought about this photo today that I shot of Ryan a couple of years back now at a roadtrip we were on where we stopped in at Cam Whites jumps.

A nice random photo of Simon O’Brien entertaining the local fishing kid taken by Nathan Penonzek.
