CHARLZY TRIBUTE TEE!

Hey guys, as terrible as it was to lose a friend and so many other poor people in the fires you can only try and be positive through it all, we had made up a Nathan Charles t-shirt to sell and raise money for the Bushfire appeal. We did a couple of designs and this one was what his closer friends liked. I am happy to be apart of something that will make other people's lives just a little bit easier through such a shit time in their lives.
I urge everyone to grab a tribute tee, even if you dont wear it, all the profits go to a good cause and I will throw in a copy of our dvd "Clocked In" with every order along with some stickers. You can go here to buy a tee. I must thank my screen printer also for helping out with the tee in a way which means that more cash will go directly to the appeal.

>NATHAN CHARLES TRIBUTE TEE

After speaking with a couple of crew, Polly and I have been working on some what a tribute tee to Nathan. ALL profits from the tee sales will go towards the Bushfire Victims. My screen printer has been kind enough to help out on this also which will mean more money towards the donation. I dropped the design off today however we leave for Tasmania on Friday night for a week, fingers crossed I get the blank tee's before otherwise as soon as I get back they will go to print.
These fires are fucking terrible and just turning the TV on for a couple minutes you witness how bad it really is, think about all the people affected by this, on the front line of it all, this is one way we could think of to help out those people, the people who don't have homes anymore or even worse a family. My heart goes out to you all.

>NATHAN CHARLES R.I.P




Something you never wish on anyone is a phone call from a friend crying telling you that a fellow rider and friend has died. Well that happened to alot of us today. Good friend to many, Nathan Charles was tragically killed last night in the fucked up bush fires we are having at the moment here in Victoria.
Charlsy was one of those guys you would have seen at any Flem Banks Jam blasting high as the sky with maximum style. Super nice guy and serioulsy always smileing. We had the pleasure of riding street just last week with Nathan and unfortunately it will be the last time we ever will, It's fucked that this shit happens to such great people in the world such as Nathan and my heart goes out to everyone who also knew Nathan and his family. Don't be affraid to cry and let this shit out my friends I know I have no shame in doing so. Nathan Rest in Peace my frined you will never be forgotten ...Cooper Brownlee

KYM GROSSER LEAVES MACNEIL

Good friend Kym Grosser emailed me today to let us know he has left riding for Macneil, no bad blood, so it's all good. Kym is an absoulute destroyer on a bike, definately one of the most original riders out there. Good luck to Kym in his adventures over in Canada for the next few months until he heads back home later this year. We will look forward to your return. You can read more about this here.
