Product update – LFH Grip
Liam Fahy-Hampton is having his own signature grip come out soon called the LFH
It will be in stores worldwide by early December & will come in the 5 colours shown below – Black, Purple, Laser Green, Silver & Red. It will also come with plastic colour coded push-in style bar ends. They are extra long to accommodate Liam’s huge hands & to look more in proportion on today’s wider handlebars.

World travellers…
Thought I would let you all know of some of the travel plans the team have going on now or very soon…
Tim Wood was in Singapore last weekend for some demos at a brand new concrete park there, it was amazing park according to Tim. He took a bit of a spill on the vert bowl there but is OK.
Nick Richardson is off to the USA for 2 months to stay at Ryan’s house in Greenville. Expect some good things to come from Nick while over there. Nick also recently put together a nice new 2010 Gnarkill Frame.
Zac Miner & Liam Fahy-Hampton are off to China at the end of the month for an invitational comp over there in Beijing. Should be interesting.
Shane Badman is due back to Australia soon after a few years in Europe.
Mick Bayzand is also coming home in October after 18 months in Canada. It will be good to have him back in Australia.
I am off to the US in a couple weeks for Interbike. So looking forward to the Nora Cup party once again, just not the day after.
Yo yo !!
