>DIG

Hey guys, We started another series of online interviews this time with shops that are supporting Focalpoint, I'm always interested in seeing what the shops look like that we send the mag to so I look forward to more of these coming in. First up is Helensvale Bmx, which you can have a read here.
I see on the Dig website that the new issue is out in a couple weeks, I'm super psyched for this one, it has an article I shot the photos for from the Colony X Forgotten road trip earlier in the year.

>BMX BANDITS!

Hey guys, had a blast at the Tempered Bikes Drains Jam today, shot a bunch of cool photos so expect a article on it in the nest issue of the magazine. The photo below is one of my favourites which unfortunately Mikey CZ didn't land otherwise it would be in the mag right now.
We are watching Bmx Bandits at the moment, still a classic film which all riders must experiance! This movie is so old the bad guys use the word "Poo" as there hardcore pissed off word. Gold! "Don't move a muscle spartacus"
