Guettler is back in Brisbane now & wrote this little update on what he has been up to of late…
So after Xmas and new years, Vans invite me to there zoomys 100k, which is a huge awards party up in the SNOW, (This is my 2nd time ever seeing snow by the way) I go up there with Jerry badders, Nasty and Steve Van Doren. We play in the snow Nasty & I tried to snowboard for a while which was so funny. Then the night of the big party was amazing, we got to hang out with Snoop Dogg and PJ Penn and Dustin Dollin (everyone was there ) it was a very fun night.
Then the next day I flew home to Australia and meet up with the Colony crew and Richo takes me straight to the trails, we have been filming a lot so wait for an edit to come soon. But now I’m home and having a blast. It was crazy going from snowboarding with Nasty one day to riding trails, getting sun burnt with Richo the next hahahaha such a great time…

The best bit is there is no need to spread your frames rear end to fit it all in, you simply replace your non driver side cone nut. We offer them in all our 2010 colours.
