US trip coming to an end…
Our US trip is now coming to an end with Cooper, Mick & myself going home today. Broc also left this morning for home. Zac & Tom are heading over to Greenville to hang with Ryan for a week or so.
It’s been a great trip except for my broken ankle. Thanks to everyone that showed us around & rode with us. Special thanks to Ryan Navazio for looking after us while in LA, thanks mate.

Peta Shepherd checks in…
Peta Shepherd is also in the states right now on her own trip with some friends. She sent in a quick update of what she has been up to & her plans…
My holiday has been unreal so far… I’ve been having the best time riding my bike, rock climbing and hiking in Sundance. Everyone I’ve meet so far have been so cool to hang with. I’m going canoeing for a few days next week, which I can’t wait for because I’ve never been. Then I start my road trip to Vegas to watch the Dew Tour.

How to hang five.
Over on theĀ RideBMX site Tom Stretton has a how to on hang-5’s which is pretty cool. I couldn’t think of anyone better to show you this trick…
Another day.
Clint was fortunate enough to have his operation last night and things went as well as they could so that’s good news.
The rest of us went out today and rode the best ditch I have ever ridden in my life. Fun was had, alot of water was drunk and clips were filmed! The photo below is from a spot we hit yesterday which is one of those million in one spots (we have hit a few of them this week) the tree roots have lifted this sidewalk up enough to have a good pop for riders to shred it. Tom gets his game on…
Millar is down.
After an awesome day out riding, literally last spot of the evening we were riding Clint unfortunately landed wrong on an up rail to 180 which resulted in a pretty bad leg break. I can’t upload photos from the day until tomorrow so for now here is a photo from happier times for Millar at the first spot we hit out of Vegas a couple of days ago. He is having surgery tonight we hope so i will keep all posted.
Note: Anyone out there that is possibly awaiting email replies please be patient. Thanks.
Zac Miner got married !!
