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!

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 2020 Hindsight DVD.
