BIKE EYE CANDY

Sunday, April 26th, 2009
The first pic is of our good friend Maz’s newest toy. This skyway streetbeat is seriously amazing. Maz brought this badboy in for some sweet new white Primo tyres and for a bit of a service, I enjoyed working of this beast so much that I didn’t want to give the bike back to her.

This red beauty is my new bike. It’s shiny and I like it, plus its red so it must be way faster than my old bike. The frame is a 21inch deluxe XL frame. The idea was to build my bike so it reminded me of the pros race bikes when I first started racing in 1996, before massive fat alloy frames were popular and a few years before the horrible clip pedal craze that ruined BMX racing for many. I’m super excited about the way it turned out and it rides amazing.

These awesome frames are now back in stock and come in a bunch of nice colours and 3 sizes, 20.7, 21 and now 21.25. Also check out www.deluxebmx.com for daily updates and loads of good trail pics and videos, one of the raddest sites and not to mention one of the raddest companies out there at the moment.
Last of all my Angry Frenchman got a couple of upgrades in the last week, making it even more badass. I finally got a sweet headlight for him so I can see when I’m blasting huge speed late at night yo. After a drunken drag race with Holmes, Phil somehow managed to wreck my fuel cap. After some tinkering I got the cap fixed and had the idea to spot weld a BLING skateboard company bearing tin lid to the cap to make it super rad! This beast is so much freakin fun…

Happy Long Weekend

To make up for the lack of posts in the last couple of days here are some more total random pics that don’t really have anything to do with anything. Now get off the computer and enjoy the long weekend.

Daylight Savings Jam

Saturday marked the start of it getting dark early again. So to celebrate another rockin’ summer done and to weep a little for all those sunny nights we should have ridden, we held the first annual Hell on Wheels End of Daylight Savings Jam.

Five Dock was the place to be and it all kicked off about 2pm. The rain stayed away and a big day went down. Stacks of crew showed up to rip 5Dock and for all those that hadn’t realized the goodness of what we reckon is easily the best park in Australia, the message got through. Aside a big crew of local and ring in crew from around Sydney and beyond, the touring Fit Bikes crew came down to join in the festivities. Rolling around and seeing Robbo, Van Homan and Dakota Roche at your local is a damn good thing.

Aside the usual mayhem, Xave and Alex Liiv incited some crazy action including the 1st Annual Death Bowl in the old bowl after a high air comp in the old girl. Picture 40-50 riders playing a game of foot down amidst broken glass, beer and high speed carves. Think gladiator fight club on 20 inch rides… Funny stufft! Our 8 foot quarter got cut down to a Taco shaped obstacle that provided much entertainment from the small bowl. Trucks, flips and whips all getting thrown into the mix. Add a big air comp in the failing light and you had yourself one full day of riding, running amok and hanging with a rad crew. Besides some crazy lady not agreeing with the language and ringing the cops, of whom 8 were needed to calm the situation (we guess coz it was a biker event and you know western Sydney bikers lately), the day went off.
A massive thanks goes out to Vans, Fit, 2020, Alex from Elite Cycle Imports for Iron Chef’n action on the BBQ, Leaf Cycles and everyone for rocking up and making the day rock. Mike S shot us thru some sweet pics. Click here for the gallery! Be there next year for a bigger and even more badass jam!
