// Friday 30th May - Posted in 411 and Team pages

orriat, so we all got a bunch of new photo's and bike checks and decided to update the Team pages. We have all been working hard to push the levels of S.A BMX in another direction and on to higher levels. You've seen our team, video clips, photos, desktops and hopefully you'll notice we like to do things differently. Check us out.

This is the BMX Direct Team.

2 new desktop images have just been posted on the forums. One super fresh looking jah style fuf at beach park by Phil and a sweet night shot photo of Stuart at Giba trails. Take your pick.

jahman.

Business as usual around here this week. Nothing nicer than finishing off a hectic week with some friends and a good session at Durbans finest Parks.

Friday arvie sessions. Beach and Gateway.

There is this ramp that's about 20kms from my front door, it doesn't get sessioned too often as the road is treacherous and the neighborhood rural to say the least. It's something of a marvel...a massive elevated (13ft?) half pipe on the side of a mountain in the valleys of rural Natal. Indigo's ramp is undergoing a revamp and we hit it up this afternoon on the sly. A couple of Hillcrest friends, Chris, Dstar and myself made the trek into the wilderness...

Easy day at Indigo.

So I've been sitting on this (mini)story for a couple days now and have not had a chance to sit down and put it down for you. Couple of us Durban lads hit the road to Joburg over the long weekend for Jacque Fouries wedding and a bit of a road trip. Check it.

joburg...cold weather, mullets, McD's, backyard sesh, and dodgy late nights.

Not many of you have responded to the EDH stem/bar ends give away. check it if you want some free shit.

Metal Bikes Dead Bang is in and rocking. Leather jackets, bad hair and a randomly selected soundtrack. Its packed with sketchy bangers and other random crap but it won't let you down. 2 sections really stand out on this one; Albie Bennett and Sean Burns. Albie Bennett takes it to the face properly on a chain hop gone wrong....Sean Burns- man who knew that that guy actually has some incredible skills- every clip of his is pretty much banger material, well almost. Fast and loose in typical Metal Bikes style. All street, glam rock and its definitely got one up on the last Metal video. Dead Bang will not disappoint.

Metal Bikes Dead Bang DVD. R140.

Props Mega Tour 6 DVD. mostly street is what I'm hearing from the boys and from the rider line up it sure looks like it. R160 each. I haven't had a chance to watch it fully as yet, so I'll let the box do the talking.. click...

5050 "That's It" DVD . Almost feels a lil like an Etnies video. Awesome line up of riders, beats are pretty good; Mike Aitken, Mat Beringer, Rob Wise and an awesome section by Cameron Wood. Grab em up at R140.

Not exactly new by any means but an awesome dvd and well worth another mention. All the street you can handle with only a hand full of park and dirt clips. Still one of my favorites. Left Right back in stock for a short time at 160 a pop.
