>THE SUN IS OUT!

The weather had been great here lately. We were fortunate enough to ride with the Fit crew who are in town at the moment down at Flem Banks, they all seemed real cool so it was rad to have a roll down there with them, they are off up the coast this week so been on the look out for them in your town, they are doing a few instores aswell.
I found out off The Anchor site that GoodGrief now have a blog up,
Backbone also have given their site a bit of a makeover.

>TEES COMING

Hey guys, we have new FP and Defero tee's coming in about a weeks time, I dropped the blank tee's off today to get done.
Flagz had his operation on his hand on Tuesday, went well but it seems they may have chose not to put the plate in which might have been a bad idea since the big boy loves using that hand even when its plastered up.
I put up a couple photos in the Gallery for you to check out, a couple I had some left from the Flem banks jam so Lee Mans and Charlzy got a couple pics up.

>ISSUE 16 OUT NOW!

Hey guys, I have been packing magazines all day ready to post out, so expect to see the mag in over 100 bmx stores around Oz in the next couple of days. Otherwise hit me up if you see me around I will have some on me.
Other news, check out the edit of Tom Stretton over on the Tempered Bikes site, that dude is soooo good!
On the Colony site you can see a new advert that I happened to layout, not going for props here I just love the photo in it! Alex is awesome!
I'm pretty sure 2020 is due out anyday now, I spotted the cover on the Forgotten website for good reason.
Raine Turnbull shoots some rad photos, besides the shots you see in the mags you can see more of his work here.
Here is some info about the next issue and the cover of course...

Issue 16 is biggest issue of FocalpointBMX yet! I am so stoked with how this issue came out. It clocks in at a banging 92 pages, with plenty of rider bios, interviews and road trip stories to keep you entertained.
This time around FP interviewed Jimmy Rostlund about product design, young NSW South Coast ripper Jadan Roxburgh and all around shredder Nick Kajewski. Dinny Spicer gave us some insight into the ins and outs of the Fbmx organization and Dwayne Germain from Adelaide scores an interview about his sweet street styles. There is a massive article on the positives of BMX, featuring interviews with riders from all walks of the BMX lifestyle. Dialed photographer, Nitai, gives us a look into his world of photography. Add to that a trip FP took to Tassie and there is plenty there to keep you going!

Once again, a big thanks to all the contributors and supporters – we couldn’t have done it without you. As for the cover, well, I feel it’s a fitting tribute to Nathan Charles, a good friend to many: gone but definitely not forgotten…

>NEW FP SAMPLES EDIT VOL1

Hey guys, as you may have noticed we have a new edit up on the Index page, check it here if you missed it.
We decided to release some "Samples" as we are calling them of random clips, crashes and unused clips, for the up and coming release of the next Focalpoint dvd. Since we are having two seperate video's on one disc (Focalpoint & Defero) there wont be much room for bonus, so instead you get these edits up until the release in a couple months. Enjoy.

>NEW PARKS

Hey guys, there are a couple new parks kicking about in Vic, I'm sure there are more so if you know of one shoot me over a pic. Horsham have a rad park being built at the moment (see pic) which should be fun and help the drive to Adelaide not be so boring. The new Geelong plaza has been done for a couple months now, we checked it out a couple of weeks ago and it was super fun, definately check it out next time you hit that area up. I also here Pakenham just got a L shape plaza built. The best thing about new parks nowadays is that they are usually on the way to other parks, can really make for a good day mission.
Another random shot from the Tassie trip.
