I swear Chris learns 6 new tricks every time he rides. I probably haven't learnt 6 new tricks in the last 3 years.

Hey guys I left my laptop at work so I wasn't able to post last night. Nick Cooper has arranged a jam at Beenleigh on Saturday to raise money for the bushfire victims. It's a gold coin donation but you're encouraged to give a little more if you can. Theres live music and giveaways so It should turn out to be a good day. See you there.

The theme is pirates so you can dress up if you want. It'll probably kick off at about 12 til we get too drunk to ride. Hopefully see you there!

More Brett Coleman

Brett Coleman sent in this edit of himself at Cali stating "probably too many whips". I counted 10 so that averages out at a whip ever 8.8 seconds. Probably not the worst thats ever been posted on here...

Matt Brown

Check out this sweet video of 15 year old Matt Brown. The quality os a bit shitty but if you can bear with it theres some good shit in there.

Colony Hubguard and Tempered Bars

Image
Check out this cool little hubguard by Colony to fit the clone hubs. Looks pretty clean. They're still in testing stage at the moment but by the looks of it they should hold up well. Now you dont have to be scared of scratching those pretty coloured spokes! In other Australian bmx company news, Tempered 's brand new Treason bars are here and ready to be put on your bike and shredded. I saw Tom Stretton drop his bike from about 4 metres high and land directly on the end of his bars and they didn't bend a bit. Tough as nails.

Congratulations Sam Illman

Congratulations Sam Illman on being voted the winner or the DiversityXDishonour Video Comp. It was pretty close with Mikey leading the votes for a while but Sam just edged him out at the last minute. If you're reading Sam can I get you to email your postal address. Thanks to everyone who entered and look out for another one soon. If you somehow missed all the entries check em out here...

Matt Whyatt @ Rampfest

Matt sent in this awesome video of himself from a day at Rampfest. Some banger shit in this for sure.

Vince Byron Mongoose Ad

First Vinny Byron footage I've seen in a long time ... Filmed by Troy Charlesworth.

Pahau

Alot of the time I get emails with nothing but the code for the video. No name or description or anything. Usually I won't post them but its been a slow week. The name on the email for this one is "Bob Scerbo" but the video says his name is Pahau. Wheres this park at?

Nathan Charles Clips

Andrew Fraser sent in this short little edit he made with some of his favourite clips of Nathan Charles that he's collected over the years. He also let me know about a little project he's working on: I'm putting together a little zine with peoples stories/memories/one liners about Nathan because there are some amazing stories about him floating around out there so if you could post that up along with my email address to get more people involved that'd be a big help. If you've got anything to contribute send it to goodgriefbmx@hotmail.com.

Nathan Charles Tribute tee.

Image
Just saw on the FocalPoint site that they will be doing a Nathan Charles Tribute shirt in the near future. All profits will go the the bushfire victims which is awesome. In other bushfire news, one of my favourite sites, The Big Picture , has just put up some amazing photos from the fire. If you've never seen the site and are interested in world news and/or amazing photojournalism be sure to check it out.

Brett Coleman video

Hey guys not much to post lately. Brett Coleman sent through this edit of him riding one Sunday. Whip 5tap was pretty sick.

R.I.P Nathan Charles

Image
I just read on FocalPoint the tragic news that Victorian shredder Nathan Charles passed away in those horrific bushfires. Nathan had sent in a few videos to Diversity which you can check here and here. Cooper has written a little tribute on FocalPoint which is worth a read. Rest in peace mate.
Image
Coop let me know about a sweet article that he's putting in the next FocalPoint magazine. Basically you send in a photo of you having a good time and theres a chance it will feature in the mag. Peep the flyer for more details.

BMXgames Footage

Hey guys, I threw together this rough little edit of some of the footage we go down at BMXgames. We didn't film as much as we could of and youtube screwed up the aspect ratio but meh, it took too long to upload...

Jake Anderson

Wow the video comp sure is close... looks like Mikey and Sam Illman are neck and neck... Still 12 days left though so anything could happen... In the meantime I thought I might post a few edits that didn't quite make the top 4. This one is of Jake Anderson and was one of the first entries I recieved. Good shit.
