The guys from Sonskate are having a comp at the Stellenbosch park this weekend. West Coast BMX are helping them out with the event, and we sent down a bunch of prizes earlier this week for them to hand out so make sure you go through and support the comp. The BMX event is on Saturday from 1-5pm (NOT 2-6pm as stated on the flyer) so get there early to make sure you can register. The guys are also selling all weekend passes to the park so you can get plenty of riding done.

All in all it sounds like its going to be a fun event so make sure you check it out.

Buddy and Matt:

Buddy sent us another update on his trip. This time its from his weekend at the NASS event in the UK. Unfortunately due to some announcement misunderstandings Buddy missed his runs and never got to ride in the comp, but he said it was a great weekend none the less. He rode a bunch in practice and said the park and the dirt setups were a lot of fun. Here are some pics he sent us from the weekend.

Matt also sent us an update from his weekends riding in J-bay. Him and a some of the other PE locals hit up the J-bay park and matt sent us these snaps of him riding. He also recently rebuilt his bike with some fresh wheels and other parts. You will also notice the new red fly rims on his bike... Look for a bike check soon.

Buddy in Europe:

Buddy just sent us a mail to let us know what he is up to on his European trip. He is currently in the UK doing the tourist thing before he rides in the Empire of Dirt and the Nass events. After that he is heading to Spain and the to Germany for the Masters event as well. He says its still pretty cold over there even though its spring, and sent us some snaps of his sight seeing in London. We wish Buddy all the best during his travels, and will keep you posted on Buddy's news as he updates us.

Colin Update:

It seems like Colin has been up in JHB on a semi permanent basis lately, and he has been putting his time here to good use! Most days he has been riding with Greg, and whenever he gets a chance Tyrone has been shooting pics of what goes down. The guys have been riding street as well as all the parks, and with the potential of some new trails popping up in the northern suburbs it looks like Colin might never leave. Here are a few shots that Tyrone sent us of the riding that has been happening over the last few weeks.

Volkswagens:

You might be asking yourself what a post about cars is doing on the site? Well a bunch of the crew and our friends are into VW's, and when they not riding bikes they can be found working on their cars and doing stuff with the VW club. This past weekend the club held a fund raiser show for one of the members who was recently in hospital, and Brad volunteered to do a box jump demo at the show to add some entertainment. Brad, Greg, Stuart, Tyrone, and Colin all rode in the demos and here are a few pics from what went down.

The boys have done good:

The team have been getting out there over the last month or so and it definitely shows! Brendon Jacobs got a full page pic in the May issue of Blunt right alongside the BMX buyers guide. Brendon keeps a pretty low profile most of the time but it's pics like this that prove he is still killing it.

Colin Loudon has also got a full page pic in the contents page of this months issue with a cranked lookback on the green ramp.

The Gate crash tour also received a ton of coverage in the current issue with 8 pages of pics and words from the trip. There are so many dope pics in this feature all snapped by Tyrone Bradley and Wayne Reiche. You can always count on those two to produce the goods behind the lens! Make sure you pick up this issue as it is a real belter!

Speaking of Tyrone he just sent through a new bike check for you to check out. Check back for that as we will be posing it up in the next day or so. His new United Squad is looking dialed!

We also heard today that Buddy Chellan has been awarded a spot in this years Red Bull Empire of Dirt event in the UK. Buddy will be heading out in the next few days and we wish him all the best. With Style like this you can be sure he will be ripping up those jumps with the best of them.

 

The new Odyssey Shipment has just landed and there are tons of new items in this lot. First up we have two new DVD's in stock including the long awaited Electronical DVD... This video is off the hook! Amazing riding, filming, and editing all rolled into one. The DVD is a 2 disc set and includes a bonus DVD with tons of extras including both of Odysseys previous videos and an awesome edit of their South African trip. it there is one DVD you buy this year Electronical has to be it.

The new Aaron Ross signature grips are also here and feel super good. these have a super soft compound and a medium thickness to them so should suit most people. If you are shopping for new grips make sure you check these out.

We also have our 2 top selling bars back in stock. Lumberjacks and Triumphs are here and will be shipping to stores this week.

Odysseys V3 cassette hubs are also here and are available in 36 and 48 hole. These hubs come with a one piece 10t driver and have all new internals. These will be available in stores by the weekend.

The always popular monolevers are also back in stock.

All these new items will be in stores this weekend so make sure you go past you local BMX store and check them out.
