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.

A couple weeks ago Broc won the high air contest and the best trick at a new park that just opened up near his house, High air was at 9ft and the best trick was a 540 air bars and a flair invert, nice! From what I can see the place looks rad!
Micky Bayzand is back in Melbourne and after recovering from a shoulder injury he has been out and about riding a bunch lately. Whilst driving back home from a day out searching schools we spotted this ship wreck out to sea that none of us had seen before, so we pulled out the camera and took some shots. The background in the photo almost seems fake.
Strictly x Colony limited edition Teddy frames are now available at Strictly BMX.
Each one custom slapped by Mick Bayzand and comes with a signed poster, a bunch of stickers, DVD and a laser cut, customised, numbered Strictly skull.
To view all of the frames hit up Strictly’s Facebook album here.

I can’t remember what the last thing I sent in was, but I can tell you I’ve been having a ball since then! We’ve been on the road now for about 3 weeks and it’s all been a rad and crazy experience. I got to hit up Vegas while the Dew tour was on. Which was awesome, it would be the biggest BMX contest I’ve been to and the vibe was cool. After that we drove over in to Cali. The rain caught us which was a bummer, we got the chance to ride a few sweet indoor parks. I even got the chance to shoot with Fat Tony from RideBMX.
We headed up highway one after our few days in Cali to hit up Portland. The drive was long though beautiful along the coast and into the Redwood national forest. We even tried driving the van through a tree but it was just a bit to big. When we got to Portland it was cold and rainy and we had no where to stay, so we drove on to Seattle because we knew another girl rider Sam Lyons who kindly oftered us a bed at her house. Seattle had been raining a bit too, however Sam was able to get us into a cool little private barn ramp setup, which was weird to ride though very fun. The photo is from the little session we had there.

It’s been a while since we’ve heard from or had much on here about Toby Mathews but the guys at GC Compound sent through a couple pics of him shredding the park down there. Looks like he is still killing it like only he can.

Mick recently put together a fresh new rig with the limited edition Translucent Black which is only available at Strictly BMX. It looks pretty fresh to me, with just the right amount of gold in there.
