With less than 60 days to go and a mile high stack of pallets the 2007 Ghetto Jam is creeping closer. Incoming calls far and wide from riders wanting to hook up....the turnout is predicted to be monstrous. An international rider guest list has been issued alongside the list of necessary requirements for the weekend. Better start bumming a lift now as it is going to be a sunny weekend. http://ghettojam.co.za

Spongiwe Mthengu amateur candidate #1...not really, just a random photo.

Despite the rain Jacques has been kept busy repairing the back yard ramp. Check the Team Blog for updates and pics...

I got word from Sifiso that he's back in S.A from today. Sifiso returned from a training camp in Utah (sounds intense). Sifiso will be battling it out in full force this weekend at the BMX Racing Nationals at the Kempton Park track.
Check out 'Skizo's' blog for updates and what and where he's been in the past few weeks, Sifiso sure does get around.

An you thought the S&M LAF was tight? S&M LTF (Lighter than *uck)

This out of the 2007 Winter catalog :
"The LTF is the pinnacle of BMX frame-building technology, our most advanced and
lightest freestyle frame to date. Meticulous attention to detail resulted in a 4.2 lb. frame
with a swaged seat tube, bullet-tipped stays, and a rear end that can accommodate
today’s popular 2.25” tires with no problems. Hecho with pride in Santa Ana, CA.

• Made in U.S.A.
• Lighter swaged seat tube
• Steep 75 degree head angle
• Engraved shield on head tube
• Embossed open-ended gusset
• Bullet-tipped seat and chainstays
• Butted/Air-hardening SuperTherm tube set"

The Bloodwolf is what Sean Burns is calling his new signature frame. 20.5" only, black or flat white. Bike check and interview on thecomeup site. Bloodwolfs available from us in a couple weeks time (and no we dont stock 45t Metal Bikes sprockets anymore!!).

Someone sure is excited about the Ghetto Jam dvds, the polls took a huge jump in numbers this week, I definitely did not make that many copies, so either somebody is boot-legging them or someone has way too much time on there hands...nuts...

I have launched an awesome new addition over on the team pages. Each of our team dudes can leave us some news, photo's or info of what ever they have been up to. Phil has already posted some trail photo's and news and Jaqcues backyard ramp setup is now online too. Check it out in the Team Blog.
Oh you can also subscribe to the blog and receive notifications when new posts are made. Look for the logo/subscribe link at the bottom of the blog page. RSS is the shit.

There's a Blunt/Nokia thing happening today at Gateway and the boys will be out riding most the day. Hook-up with Darren, Ashley and Stu (and most of the rest of the Hillcrest/Waterfall posse). Details on the Blunt site if you need.

Jacques' ramp is coming along nicely, he sent a bunch of photo's but I am waiting on him to get them up on the Team Blog (more on that later) so we can see what he has been up to...the wild wild East?

The much anticipated Pivotal seats and posts are here. As always we keepin' them affordable and available to all. I took a bunch of up-close photo's so you can see how it works if you not to familiar with how it goes together. The only tool it requires is a 6mm allen key. Click on the image below.
Price details; Primo Stump Post @ R140 and the Primo Balance Pivotal seat @ R300. Hey that's almost CHEAPER than a regular seat/post setup! and its helluva lighter and nicer to assemble than conventional rail/seat gut seats. I will add a little something to the Special Features page in the next few days in the meantime oogle this.

Micro drive 8t Primo Mix cassette drivers and matching 23t Primo Analog sprockets are back on the shelves. The 8t driver is available separately (with bearings & pawl/springs) @ R400 or built into a Mix Cassette at no extra charge! That's R900 for a quality cassette with micro drive, by far the best deal on a reliable and affordable cassette hub. See the catalog for more details on the Primo Mix cassette.

Just in time for the BMX Racing Nationals this weekend at Kempton Park- 1 1/8" and 1 3/8" tires and tubes are selling fast. Primo Vtrack tires at R150 each (see below)and Primo Junior/Expert tubes @ R30 each. A large selection of BMX chainrings are also available; 39t all the way through 44t. CNC machined and made in the USA at a very affordable deal; R250 each. Here for a photo.

A little out of season but cool non-the-less Primo visor/peak beanies are here. I have black/grey and grey/dark grey. R180 each.
Hey its Friday and I'm hittin' up the Beach Park meet up with Raymond and Co, catch ya'll laters....
