Michael Vockenson sent me the link to this edit he made a while back. Some pretty good riding accompanied by some pretty questionable editing. The protein powder and how to backflip guide made me LOL. Check it out.

Clint just sent me an email letting me know about a new web video he just made with some bonus footage from the Colony DVD. This edit features Nick Richardson, Benny Paulsen, Haimona Ngata, Pete Radivo & Tim Wood. Not a bad line up. Watch it here.

Chris Polack from Rebelyell sent me this email for the up and coming bicycle film festival:

Use you imagination and get your film editing polished up cause now's your chance to show the world what 'bmx' is made of. Make it short, make it sweet but most importantly make it worthwhile.

Heres a flyer for a big event in Boyne Island (near Gladstone) called the "Coconet Classic" which is happening on the Easter long weekend (21-23rd March). As you can see diversitybmx as well as Tempered are sponsoring it (on top of 20 million other sponsors) and it has coverage by Fuel TV and Southern Cross Ten. Its gonna be a massive event and would be well worth the drive.

-Mitch

I just got some more Tempered shirts back in stock!

number of sizes in each print on the designs you
see in the picture above.

or go support us over at Steve's New shop, Ride On,

To me ABBS was that crazy street dude you
see in video's and think holy fuck that dude
is wild! Accept i only saw like 3 clips of
him in an old Emancipate promo on the first

seeing and hearing wild shit of the dude.

up for an interview over here on Diversity,
so you better hit READ MORE and check the
whole deal out!
ALSO: Terry from BMX Mafia has
sent us over 3 DVDs as a give away with this
Interview! All you have to do is answer these
simple questions, the answers are all here.

This is just some of the wild shit that
went down when i was in Sydney. This
double front flip from West Oz Chris Jones
was definitely one of the most gnar things
i have seen in my life and i had spent a lot
of time on the road with this guy when i was
back in Perth doing demos and i never thought
he would be doing shit like this.

Also: i did not edit this vid.

-Matty.

Corey Mansinger sent me this link of himself

Click HERE to read the article.
I hope you enjoy reading is as much as i did
creating it.
