New team member Luke Parker

24 November 2008 by james and filed in BMX Team

I’ve known Luke for a while now through the Eastfield BMX club and was always impressed with his racing. Only recently I became aware how much style he has on the dirt jumps and skateparks. Therefore I’m happy to announce that Luke is the newest member on the RSABOUT BMX team.

More about Luke soon, so as an introduction, here he is at Camberwell skatepark in Victoria.

RSABOUT products at Rampfest

20 November 2008 by james and filed in Products

Apologies for the delay in announcing that RSABOUT products are now available in the shop at Rampfest in Melbourne, Victoria. If you haven’t heard about Rampfest it is a huge indoor skatepark with so many lines you will just sit there working out what to try first. Add a foam pit and resi to the mix and great for busting out those new ideas without putting the body on the line straight away.

New team member Andrew Gul

It is taking a while to find the right people for the rsabout team and I’m pleased to say we have the first rider on board. Andrew Gul made it official yesterday. Andrew is a Melbourne local and also rides for the Mongoose Australian team. Look out for more of Andrew very soon.

In the interim, here’s a few of photos from the recent CX Games in China where he took out first place in the park event. Great stuff.

Early morning Lilydale skatepark session

Mark, Nic and I hit up the Lilydale skatepark for an hour or so and managed to snap off a few photos. No injuries and I managed to only drop the bike once I think.

4th Australian Vintage BMX Gathering

2 November 2008 by james and filed in BMX, Events

It all started back in November 2005 with the first Australian Vintage BMX gathering and after trips to Terrigal and the Gold Coast it is back in Melbourne with the 4th Australia Vintage BMX gathering for all the old school BMXers. The first one had a good turn out with most people getting to put names with faces for the first time. It’s now to the point that these gatherings are a chance to catch up with friends made over the years, show a few new (well old) BMXs and generally have a great time. Saturday afternoon at the Knox BMX track and see the flyer for more details.
