Really need to get some riding done with others so you don’t always see just photos of me. Anyway, here’s a few from my first decent session out on the jumps. A dodgy sounding one piece driver didn’t instill a lot of confidence in really cranking it out, however, I survived unscathed which is always a bonus for me. Many of the landings were old school flat which was a bit of fun. And speaking of fun, The Park Orchards BMX track is way better as a jumping place rather than a race track.

Brian P’s Summer Slam 2008 was held on the weekend and by the looks of the photos it was a great day. Once again I have to rely on Guav to provide the photos as I was stuck in Melbourne. One of these days Brian…

Here’s a photo of the host delivering the beer on his Vector freestyle BMX. Plenty of extra tubes on the frame perfect for carting stuff.

There’s a few more photos in the Summer Slam 2008 gallery plus a link through to more of Guav’s photos.

It’s still winter down here in Melbourne and I’m still hibernating, hence the lack of news items. Went out to a local BMX race yesterday and it snowed! That is not right. Anyway, Coasty is living it up in a much warmer part of Australia and doing the rsabout brand proud with a few stickers on one of his bikes. The second photo is him at the Five Dock Skatepark in Sydney back in the early 80s and yes, he still rides that Mongoose Supergoose to this day. Still has the Redline Flight cranks (pinchless) and Bottema forks although he doesn’t have the graphite tuff wheels any longer. Not sure what the little dude in the tracksuit is doing. Is the old guy saying something like, “if you keep grabbing it, it will get this big”.
