Not much news to put up on the site this week; here`s
a thing or 2 that might interest you:
You may have noticed that the Catalog
now has a new menu and another section added to it. The Soft Goods area is
fully functional. Mesh Caps, Tshirts, Shoes, socks...its all there. Press
F5 a couple of times if you feel like doing some shopping.
I just got word the Standpoint Video`s will be
arriving shortly. They dont come out too often but they kill it everytime.
Number 6 was filmed in section features; Matt Berringer Backyard and Bio,
Pual Horan section, The Bad Timing crew, Jesse Williams section, Street mix
with Van Orman. The Bonus sectin is a killer too:
Bane Death Challenge, Animal Brooklyn Banks Jam, Transitions Jam, Shitluck
Trip, Michigan check and the mandatory crash and outtakes sections.
DL a clip here
and check out the Standpoint
videozine website while you wait.
I recently felt the need to try out some wider bars on my rig. So instead
of looking at a another new set of bars (I recently bought some Revenge 4pc
bars) i opted to have my old KGB Sarvets welded up..
 |
I took the bars and 2 short 1" off cuts down to the local welder and he did a fine job indeed; didnt even charge me for it, stoked! The bars now 27" wide opposed to 25" as before. If it ever stops raining i might just go give em a go. Moral of the story, never cut too much!

January has been a hectic month
for us so far, its been crazy busy around here and we've had lots of visitors,
loads of new
stock items and on top of that; the weather has been great so alot of
riding has been going on. Oh yeah, the new 4130
website is almost complete too.
Phil sent me some random blurb from Somerset
West; Konstant is back in the country and rocking a new setup, he`s
promised me some photo`s of K`s bike for a bike check in the near future...(Konstant
has just returned from exile in the UK for a short while).
Apparently Malcolm Peters is pulling sick flip turndowns at the trails and
Phil says he seen a very close 360 flip too. Malcolm is putting it down!
Cruisin the web today I came across this; taken at Dirtopia last year. The
photographer (Jaco le Roux) was voted best Snapshot photographer by Red bull.
That's quite something. If you look around on that web site you will find
a bunch more awesome BMX photo`s.

Blast from the past! Malcolm Silver
circa 1993 at Wayne's back yard ramp, Pretoria. Shot by Taro Saito who was
back-packing around South Africa at the time from Japan.
The ramp is no longer but like a cheezy blind date the memories live on.

Here's that bike check with Mugs' S&M L.A.F Tidy not-so-little setup.
Jaque aka Mugs was down last week with Paul Soderlund and hooked up a new
setup up from us. They were on a mission to hit the Durban scene; and they
did. Read below and check out the pics of what went
down. On with the bike check!

Its been a little nuts around here of late. With Christmas and New Year gone
and January already bearing down on us its been crazy trying to keep up with
everything going on. Soooo many companies have sooo many new items out this
month; look out! (Check the Product news for just a pre-view)
Anyways amongst all the work and craziness of business- allot of riding has
been going on. Here`s a bunch of photo`s to prove it!
Jacques-(Mugs) and Paul from Joburg have been over at my place for a few days
now and we have been getting around. Sorry there are no photo`s of the Durban
Beach Park 'cos im to scared to even carry my pocket sized camera around with
all the "locals" on the loose...enough already; here's some photo's
from Gateway.
 A couple of locals and is that Tom Cruise in the back row? a |
|
 Paul Soderlund; in some parts of Africa they call him Woogie.... |
|
 Jacques - unlook back Pro park. z |

Later
today Caddy is having a Birthday Jam at the Trails in Durban. Check back for
more on that later...

So I guess this will be the last of the updates before New Year, so a Happy
New Year speech is in order....
Now Im only letting a few cats out of the bag now but in 2006 we got some
awesome shit planned and lined up for you guys. Imagine shopping online and
paying securely with your credit card! That and many more great features is
what im working on for all my customers.
A big thanks to all of my loyal customers who have become more than friends
over the past few years Im sure you have had the best possible service from
me this year and don't expect anything less next year. See you in 2006. Mr
Hankey.

Sorry about the lack of updates; I have feeling kinda shitty the last few
days.
Usually you would build up your new bike in a matter of minutes of receiving
it right? Well i have been sick as a dog this last week and have been lying
kinda low and trying to recover..
Hopefully tomorrow it will be quiter and i'll feel better then i can get to
it! Anyway's here's what it looks like before she built up.
My Quamen G7, Regular head tube, Euro BB and no brake mounts.
