It’s Steve Woodward’s 27th birthday today & we wish him the very best of days. I am sure he will spend it riding his bike as usual & then getting plastered at one of his many favourite bars. Maybe even some mexican for dinner beforehand? Either way, Happy Birthday Steve !!

Bibu, our Colony team rider in Russia, let me know about a little split edit with his friend Vanya & himself. Just some daily riding with nothing special he put it, just what we in Russia call, ‘light street’. Bibu filmed it in three days of riding around just having fun, enjoy.
Ryan sent me a quick email about a little edit he made the other day from two afternoons worth of riding his backyard. Turned out pretty cool I say. That ramp looks so much fun & I gotta get myself over there sometime soon.

I gotta say I am so stoked on how the BMX scene in Australia is coming of age the last few years. Such a good crew of riders who are doing so many good things. I am proud to be a part of BMX in Australia.

Yo, here is a random pic that Cooper Brownlee from Focalpoint sent me of Zac at the Halloween jam in Sydney on the weekend. Thanks Coops !! Word on the street is that Zac has some big news popping soon… keep an eye out in the media over the next few weeks is all I am going to say.
Zac has a section in an upcoming new DVD from Troy Charlesworth, called Epic Invasion. The premiere is on Friday the 14th November in Canberra at Zac’s house. If you don’t know where Zac lives then it seems you’re not invited, haha. Gotta be in the know on this one.

Mick Bayzand sent me an email yesterday & let me know he scored a bunch of clips in a Macneil/Tenpack web edit. It’s from a trip he did in Toronto earlier this year with the Macneil guys, including his good mate, Kym Grosser. Mick clocked some serious clips as usual which is good to see. Look out for Mick on the white bike with the gold parts. He always blows my mind with his rail skills, so bloody good.
Mick will also be riding the first sample version of his signature frame, called the Teddy, in the coming weeks. Expect more on frame that soon enough. Before you email us, it wont be available for 12 months.
Liam Fahy-Hampton’s signature forks are available now throughout the world in colours to match his frame. Liam’s forks are built to withstand his street abuse & also for better front wheel control with a shorter offset of 30mm. Click here for the full spec on them now.
