One of New Zealand's most well rounded and dialed riders, Kane O'Hagen has just been hook up with EDH Bike Co. That's some pretty rad news to here for both Kane and EDH.
As most of you know Caleb from Whangamata has been in the states from a while shredding PA Trails. He was nice enough to send a bunch of photos through to me of himself and Louis Bolter killing the trails. The photos are so rad and the trails are so epic I decided to make a quick little gallery with the photos HERE. Make sure you check them out, there is some seriously killer photos in there. Thanks for sending them in Caleb!
Here is a photo of Alan M at the bmx.co.nz vic park jam fliping the hip into the bowl corner. The correct word for this is Bananas!! The reason being not only is it pretty nuts to flip that hip but Alan didn't realize to after it was the wrong way or him to spin?
Last Friday night the Under Lights pump track race was suppose to take place but was rained out. So the guys at ABD have postponed it to this Friday coming. Check the flyer for full details. Should be a fun little event so make sure you come along.
Paul Langlands sent me through this photo of the new jumps he has been building in his back yard over the last week. They should be dialed in and ride able in a few weeks. Looks like its going to be a pretty fun setup. Paul also mention that he might be planning a dirt jam there for sometime in Novemeber which will be rad!
I also spotted these photos over at the Spoke Magazine Blog.. taken by Lester Perry.. looks like Lester is putting his new camera he got in Asia to good work. Hopefully we some more photos from the Lester in the future.
Here are some photos from the Dirt Bike Co web page that Piggy sent of his trails in the works.. looks like its going to be a rad chill spot for summer!
NEW JED JAM - MAINSTREET SESSION
Tuesday, September 22, 2009
Friday the 27th of November, Jed Mildon is holding a jam/comp in Taupo. This is going to be a little different the previous Jed Jams.. Horomatangi St is going to be completely blocked off for the day and Jed is currently constructing a 6ft take off to a 7ft transition landing into a 7ft quarter. So basically the event is going to be a box jump to quarter battle out.... which means it will be a a constant battle / elimination between riders till it is down to only two riders... and one winner.. sounds rad and should make for an amazing event. All ready there is a few confirmed international athletes for the event, and the whole thing is a lead up to Jed Jam 2010 which will take place in January next year.. which is going to be bigger an better than last years event.
I found this photo on my computer while looking for photos of Tim Hales, This is Luke from Tasmania, Luke was a really good friend of Tim's and lived with him in Melbourne. This photo was taken just before Tim's funeral.
Here is some photos fromt he high jump comp that took place at the bmx.co.nz jam last weekend. This was pretty gun to watch, Liam Marshall, Stephen Geddes and Alan Montefiore where the only riders that gave it a good go. Alan took out with a 8 foot boost. There is more photos up at bmx.co.nz. Big thanks to Ryan for organizing the event and Mike for 666 for the help and sponsors.
Lewis Parkinson sent in a few more photos of the Kapiti riders getting the shred on! These where taken at Otaki Park and Kanes house. Riders are Kane, Lewis, Matt and Selden, rad!
The much loved GreyLynn Mini Ramp looks like it might be up for a bit of a revamp, which is rad because its a super fun mini. These are the concept ideas, looks good!

Here is a photo I shot of Piggy last weekend at the Beverland Trails, 20mins North West of Huntly.. Me and Fraser found the trails a little hard to get through on the BMX, they were a little bumpy and we keeped over jumping the third, still fun as hell none the less. .. Piggy on the other hand had them on lock down and did some killer 3's over a couple of the jumps. Its was a good day out in a very chill spot.
Martin B sent in these photos of some of the local shredders from Waihi Beach Skate Park.. its rad to see some decent air time in there, that table over the spine is gnarly.. that thing is so f!#ked to jump! White tshirt is Skot Davey, grey top is Richard West
Random fact: Waihi has two of the oldest bowls in NZ and one of them is the first bowl ever built in NZ.
Looks like there might be a bit of rain this Saturday, so the plan is.. if it rains on Saturday the jam will be run on Sunday. Ryan from BMX.co.nz is the main organizer behind the jam.. so keep an eye out on their site for info!
