Lots of stuff going on in the Aus BMX world so I thought I might try and summarize some of it in one post.



Helensvale Cycle Scene have a fresh new site up complete with lots of bike checks of all the local shredders

The Colony site has some more news and pictures about the new indoor park being built in Melbourne. Looks sooooooo good (except for the resi).

Cooper has reworked the FocalPoint site so the news is now an rss feed which is good news for geeks like me.

And finally I just read Cooper's post about the young guy that died riding some jumps in Victoria. You can read the story here but basically he wasn't running barends and he did some damage to some organs in his abdomen. Sincere condolences to his family and friends. I'm going to go and buy some barends asap.

Stay fresh

-Mitch

Make that 3 videos of Kuraby goodness. This one is of Stephen Grubb shredding his local. Shot and edited by the one and only Jack Birtles.

Two Kuraby vids in one day? Jack Birtles edited this cool video of Dan Watson and Zac Woods. MegaLOL at that whip hop crash Dan. Haha.

Yo… our 2008 range of frames are available everywhere on the planet right now but don’t delay as they are going really fast. What do you expect when you offer a LIFETIME WARRANTY on sub 4.9lbs frames?

You can get the Sect in 20.5 & 21, the MVP in 20.25 & 20.75 & the Bloody Oath in either 21 or 21.25″ lengths in a huge variety of colours.

This place looks amazing. I for one will be making the trip down for the grand opening of this new park getting built right now in Melbourne, Australia. It’s being opened by a BMXer named Brett down there & will be very bike friendly.

Here are the first peaks of our yet to be named, Plastic Flatland pegs we have in the developmental stages. We have been working on these for a while now & thought we should get the word out about them.

They are CNC machined from high density plastic & are extremely light at 75 grams each yet also very durable. They will come in either 10mm or 14mm versions & in black only at this stage.

Expect to see Shane Badman & Simon O’Brien riding them very soon. They will be out early 2009.

-Stewart

Check out Kym's new ride.
