Sam Minnell sent a couple of really nice photos in from the Frew Farm Jam that took place last weekend.
After talking to a few riders that made it down there, it sounds like the event was pretty rad.. one of the best of the year. Paul Langlands came first in BMX dirt, Dane Searls 2nd and Kane O'hagan 3rd.
Last weekend Stephen Geddes went down pretty hard at the Wood Hill Dirt Jumps..
Here's what Stephen said: "I went to woodhill dirt jumps on wednesday arvo to go have a chill sesh, I wanted to learn flipdrivers on dirt, but on the first run, first jump no less, I dead sailored and went all nose heavy, so Diggle says, and ate it pretty bad.Busted my eyebrow, Ambulance driver reckoned it was the worst concussion he'd ever seen."
Not so good news.. hope you get better soon! At least you didn't get your peg through your skull this time!
KINK FREESTYLE JAM - THIS WEEKEND
Wednesday, March 10, 2010
The Kink Freestyle Jam at the Boys Day Out event in Mystery Creek is happening this weekend, 13-14th March,
Everyone is invited to come try out the park that they have specially built for the comp. Even if you don't want to enter in the comp the park will be made available to the public to bring their own bikes down and have a ride.
Peter Gallagher is running the comp so you know it will be well organized. He will also bring his box jump down and have it Incorporated in the park.
Here are the prizes for the comp: First Prize $600 Cash plus $600 Kink Parts Second Prize $300 Cash plus $300 Kink Parts Third Prize $100 Cash plus $100 Kink Parts
That's a pretty decent amount of prizes to be won! Sounds like comp should be a fun time..
The organizers are also giving away Five free tickets to the first five people who can answer this question: What Kink BMX Team Rider has his own signature bars? Send your answer to: rob@boysdayout.co.nz, along with your name, address and phone number.
If you don't know where Mystery Creek is you can check it out here.
I spotted this over at TemperedBikes.. looks clean, and with the jagged edge clamp design its definitely something different that I dont think has been done before. This should be available in NZ sometime this coming winter.
Here is a few snap shots sent in by Travis from EDH BMX of all the new gear that has just arrived.
All the parts are looking killer, Travis has been working super hard on getting this stuff done. It's rad to see how EDH has grown over the last 4 years. Travis has a lot more in works too.. pedals, BB's, h/sets, a couple of new stems, frames and more. He has also been working on a new version of his web page, so keep an eye out for that. Also keep an eye out for a feature on EDH coming up soon on Zombie.
Tony Surrey sent in this nice little web edited of Timmy from Wellington riding. Its been a while since I have seen Timmy ride so I am stoked to see he is still shredding! Rad!
Jono Hopping took a pretty nasty slam on the weekend at Summer Slamz, he was going for a double whip over the box jump and went down head first. He sounds pretty messed up but hopefully he will be back up and riding soon! Not so bad news .. Jono has left Macneil and is now riding for Shadow..! Jono shreds!
Most of you have probably heard by now, the Kink BMX team are heading to NZ soon. Ben Seek from InSideLine sent through some information on where you can catch up with the Kink guys and see them shred.
7th March - Thompson park jam / BBQ, Christchurch. 9th march - jam / BBQ, Gorge Road, Queenstown. 10th March - Lismore park Jam.
