Don’t forget.. RedBull Legends is tomorrow!Its going to be a grind box battle…. not sure who is going to take it out, but there has been talk of a East vs West vs Northshore battle.

Zombie contributor, good friend and all round rad guy Lester Perry has been super busy with a new project.. Lurk.. a shop for QuietChaos Clothing, art & design, nick nacks and randomness.

Check the flyers below for information…. I will post more details as it comes. I do know at some stage there will most likely be a BMX photography exhibition of some kind in the shop..

Here is some photos sent in by Nizza from H-Town of Paul Langland’s shredding his jumps.The jumps are looking pretty dialed and should make the event on the 14th Nov pretty killer.. and a fun day out.

Thanks for the photos Nizza!!

Here is the latest edit form the BMX Mafia boys.. Boni’s web vid.. raddness!

Rider: Kirk Jonas

On the weekend a small crew got together to visit the infamous ‘date hole’, which is a rad little full pipe that runs through the suburbs of Auckland City.Its only small but its super long, you can build up allot of speed in it and pretty much ride till your in complete darkness and cant see thing,

The guys from RedBull are putting on another Legends comp.Its taken place next Sunday behind TripleSix, check the flyer below for details.

For those of you who don’t know.. RedBull Legends is a straight up grind box comp, and there is usually a pretty killer prize for the winner. Check these photos from the last Legends.

Last weekend I headed to my home town, H-Town! Caught up with Lester, Ryan & Jono and the rest of the Hamilton boys for a ride. We started out at Fairfield park.. super fun little park, not bad for its size.. had a fun ride there. I got allot of good memory’s from that park,

Just got word that one of the highest quality parts company in the world.. Profile Racing is going to be available in NZ through insideline.co.nz and twhitesbikes.co.nz.. yeah yeah! rad!

Spotted this over at BMX.co.nz.. They just received a shipment of Black Eye Bikes which is new bike range for NZ. Looking pretty killer, not sure about the low slung buzz though?

Also spotted up there that Laim Marshall, the new bmx.co.nz Team rider who caused 90+ comments on a post last week broke his elbow,

Kendall Savage from BMX Mafia sent in these rad little web vidz.. Kendall has been editing little clips for each of the BMX Mafia riders. The first two are of Reece and Kendall himself. Definitely looking forward to seeing the rest of the BMX Mafia’s clips.

A few weeks ago for Mondays photo I posted a photo that was a few years old of Luke Manson doing a rad table air at Victoria Park. A few people commented that know one has seen him for a while and wondering what hes been up too…. well I found him lurking at that back of a bar the other night and this is what he has been up to..

Here is a better look at Paul Langlands Jumps for the Royals Jam coming up soon..That step up looks rad as hell!The Royals jam is going to be allot of fun!
