>CLASSIC!

In today's bmx world of fashion over function alot of the time (something I am guilty of also) it's pretty funny to look back and see how we use to have our bikes set up. My mum found a classic photo of my bike 10 years ago, check it out here and any of the older riders out there who have got something similar out there, feel free to email me over a photo and I will get it in there.
4 days till the Prem!

> CLOCKED IN PREM REVISIT

Since the Premiere is this Saturday I thought I would post up a bunch of photos from the last prem we had back in late 2007 for Clocked In, you can check it here and no doubt I will shoot a bunch on Saturday night.
Jimmy from Eject Bmx has posted up a cool photo (well sort of a photo) that he has made up from a CAD drawing from a prototype part, pretty rad!
Over on Ugzine there are some random photos posted, couple cool ones in there for sure.
Below also another random edit that Polly found of Jadan Roxburgh who had a bio in the last issue of the mag, its fairly old but classic anyway.

>DVD IS DONE!

Usually we are putting the final touches on the dvd the day before the prem but this time we actually got it done almost a week before, stoked! It will go off tomorrow to be replicated so it should only be about a week after the prem till it's available online and in all good bike stores.
Nick Gascoine over at NYRM has posted up some cool desktop backgrounds.
Good friend and all around shredder Micky Bayzand has some photos up on the Colony site of him back riding and shredding!
Polly linked me over to this edit of W.A shredder Jay Wilson, It's a few months old so it's probably done the rounds on the net but I never saw it and he does some really solid 360's in it.

>I'M SURE WE HAVE ALL THOUGHT IT MORE THEN ONCE

I have seen this random tag at Box Hill park a couple of time and find it a classic, I mean I don't really have anything against scooters but dammmm they can get in the way especially at that park so seeing that made me laugh.
Clint Millar has a cool interview over on the Flatland Australia site.
Sam Orchard from Tasmania who you would have seen photos of in FP in the past along with his handy work with the South DVDs that he and his bro work on (Check a couple posts down if you havn't seen the promo already) has a blog site also, cool to check out some nice photos. Whilst talking about Blogs, Chris Cooper has some cool riding and music photos up on his also. Check it here.

>ISSUE 17 AT THE PRINTERS

I just dropped the mag off to the printers so all going well you should see the mag in stores in around 2 weeks! So we are back into full posting mode again!
Zack Musarsa hit me up with some interesting info he came across about new rules it seems have just been introduced into Victoria about cyclists and damage to property and hitting pedestrians. Although it's not aimed at BMX in theory the way its worded looks like they could hit us for grinding ledges, rails etc pretty hard. Have a read here.
Zack also shot some photos of his new set up so you can check out a Bike Check we set up here.

>NEW FAMILY MEMBER

Lachy Swanton, a name many wouldn't know. Lachy has been rolling for a few years now and every now and then Lachy makes an appearance out with us. Lachy is also a strong supporter of the FP merch so we thought we would try and help him out a bit more. You will be seeing more of Lachdawg in the future. He also put up a little edit of some clips he has been filming over the past couple months. check it out below.
The new 2020 is out next week you can check the preview for it below. Cover is rad, Gorecki is amazing!

>IT'S ON! FOCALPOINT DVD PREMIERE!

This has been a long time coming but finally both video's are almost done so we have the date set for the premiere. Both The Waiting List and Defero will be played on the night, along with a bunch of giveaways from Colony, We the People, Macneil and Animal. There is a gold coin entry just to help cover the cost of the venue. Doors open around 7pm and we will play the vids sometime in the night. Sorry to the younger crew but it's 18+. Don't stress to much since Focalpoint isn't going anywhere there will be plenty more premiere's in the future. Leon and I made up a actual promo for The Waiting List which you can check out below along with the flyer for the Premiere. Click here for a map of where the place is.
