Matt Bell just spent a few weeks over here
in brisbane and we hooked him up with one of
the new Temperedbikes Treason frames, so i thought

Micky Soole sent me an email discussing why
again he is off his bike for a few months.
It seems Micky keeps hurting his back and
is being forced to take a few months off
his bike each time, After previously
inflaming some discs in his lower back,
I cant imagine how he feels.
Get well soon Micky.

I just noticed over on vital that west oz
ripper Todd Meyne won the Levi's Red Tab
Awards and got himself a $500 levis
gift certificate.
I have ridden and spent a lot of time with
Todd, the dude has a lot more tricks in
his bag than whats on this video.
Check the Levi's other winners and Todds
video here.

A few people have let me know about Christmas Jams on this weekend.

The first one is on Saturday and is at Jindalee in QLD. Not too sure on the details but the halloween jam was a blast so I'm guessing this one will be too.

The second one is on Sunday and is at Mullum in NSW and starts around 10am. Email Callum (bodyboarderforlife@hotmail.com) or Jaya (grubtec@hotmail.com) for more details about that one.

I finally got a bit of spare time to put together this quick edit from the TemperedBikes Filthy Drains Jam. Thanks to Emancipate, Cropthorn, Stowaway, Animal, Focal Point and of course Tempered for making the jam the success it was. Enjoy.

I was just over on the NaturalBMX site and
watched the video, i really fucking enjoyed
this edit.
I read the trails are now being demolished
in just a few days, someone tell me what
went wrong with all the signatures from
the petition?

-Matty.

Pulled this video from the FBM Website of
West Oz killer, Kie Ashworth.
Theres some solid clips in there, but i
did notice there was some re used scrap
clips from the WestOZ DVD "How Hard Is It"
Whats up with that?

Also: The lack of updates are due to both
Mitch and I be very busy in the last few
weeks leading up to the drains challenge,
But now that its over we have more time on
our hands.

-Matty.

Also, if you're thinking of drinking on the day, please don't buy your drinks from the bottle-o next to the drains and walk straight over, they're starting to get a bit suss about it.
