Wow, A year passes so quickly! the first Dew Tour went down in a new city this year and chicago was a great host. It was great to be apart of a BMX only event and with the addition of the real street it made it an awesome weekend of riding. I definitely had a blast, it was great to see Josh Hault win dirt and for the old timer Dave Mirra to take the win in Park! ha ha!

The vert comp was a brutal event, super hot, ramp was slippery and dusty and a lot of people crashed including myself on my first run, crazy but i cam through with some great riding in my second run to claim the victory, I was stoked as I had been injured coming into this event but was determined to put it together.

Got a bit of time off till the next stop, but a quick trip to the worlds in Germany should be a fun time!

See you in Germany or I will see you a the Big X!

All the best

Just been on a quick trip to LA, it was a fun trip in which I did a spot on Fox Soccer Channels ” Fox Football Phone in” with Nic webster, had a good laugh and my score predictions for this weeks Champions League match’s were shocking!  Man U to lose 3-1? what was I thinking!

Went down a couple of levels as in the same building is Fuel TV,  I did a guest spot on their Weekly Update show and co hosted a Best Of BMX show that will be airing soon, Brent RingenBach is a funny guy!

I stayed down in Santa monica for a few days, and got to witness all the lunatics that hang out on beaches all day, there are some wacky folks out in that part of the country!

Finished up with a trip to Alpinestars to see all the guys out there, and check out all the new gear they have coming out this year, its insane what those guys come up with, and they have a great crew over there too!

Oh yeah! nearly forgot that I have now been inducted to “AWESOME WORLD ” thanks to the Jason Ellis Show on Sirius radio, I learnt so much about myself on that show as  for years I have lived a complete lie, I thought I was a Fun guy who enjoyed riding bikes, hanging out, watching Moto gp and English Soccer, stopping for the odd cup of tea every now and then. Apparently not! I am a boring, tight fisted Geek! Hurray for me!  no seriously when you go on the Ellis Show be prepared for mayhem, you have to hold your own on that show, and Ellis seemed quite disturbed when I wanted 85 women to make my tea in Awesome world! Ha Ha

Back to the US of PA for me

Enough of the crazies!

Is that Mace Windu putting the kettle on?

See you all there!

To celebrate the winter I built an all white bike with purple accents and green cables!

You might ask what has purple got to do with winter?

That color came from the Black eye that Harry Main got while riding with me, there are so many great colors in a Black eye, amazing!

I am sure that before his stay with me is out he’ll get another one? mind you I don’t want our main dish washer to get injured too soon ha ha!

Full bike check on site soon! Like now!

Well just packed off the family and had a great new year together, it was a big shock for them when the felt the PA winter in full effect, the English weather can get cold at times but the PA weather did chill them to the bone, even my Dad who has molten lava running through his veins!

Its been a great time to go snowboarding and Skiing here in State College, Tussey Mountain has be great with many more sessions to come, watch out for random bike pro’s flying down the hills!

Congrats to Captain Chesley Sullenberger! you are the man of the hour sir!

This is what my car told me this morning, I known some of you in America or the World for that matter can beat this number but, its bloody freezing all the same!

Enjoy the Winter!
