We made it out of russia (just) if you ever go there make sure you dont have a rip in your passport. The last couple of days were just as random as the first 2. we done a bit of SIGHTSEEING down at red square, rode a few more demo's, watched the RUSSIAN DUDES ape it hard, had a few more NEAR MISSES on the roads, and avoided paying out any bribe money. Thanks to all the russian kids/riders, and everyone who looked after us for making this another sweet trip, now more from our hip hop friend, if you liked his beat box, wait till you see him BREAKDANCE. slideshow in a couple of days.

Russia is bananas, you gotta love it, the bike scene here is pumpin and the KIDS ARE INTO IT. Riding demos at 8 am for the minister of sports then freestyling in taxis ( you just pay random people here to drive you home ) by night. THIS DUDE sums up yesterday well, he may have had to many wodka red bulls, sabbath 1999.

The Rain held out and the BOYLEY JAM went down, a barage of flips, men's gussets and FIDS car getting a beating sum it up well. Thanks to all who attended and helped out for the good cause, check out the SLIDESHOW HERE, and if you wanna see even more pics GO HERE. There is also another photo montage in the slideshow section from corey's trip to the rebel jam, so get and CHECK IT OUT. Corey got into town earlier, Kye is on his way, and all 3 of us are off to Russia in the morning, it's shaping up to be a random one, look for updates from the kremlin in a couple of days, if we make it in. Seems like crandall can't lay of them TATTOO'S

Metro has been sending quite the assortment of pics over during the last week or so, check out some hummus, stoves, big stu, the triple whopper, leland being leland and more.

It's the 5th ANNUAL BOYLEY JAM here in hastings on saturday, if you are in the area get down for a laugh, more heads.

A few of us were at the REBEL JAM this past weekend, Corey nearly didn't make it due to UK airport madness, and then finally managed to get there only for street to be rained off. He still had a good time having a FLASH WAR. Dirt and spine qualifiers were the only events to happen, Kye ended up getting 4th in spine, 2nd in dirt hard trick and 1st in style!
KYE, LEO & TOBY came top 3 in the dirt style award which is pretty nuts, and there is now a poll on FAT BMX now to see who has the best lookback, so get on and vote for your favorite. We had most of our range of PRODUCTS on display at the LA FINCA booth, there will be detailed pics up here soon. Check out Tunney with his GAME FACE on during the day of rain, and word on the street is ITALIANS DO IT BETTER.

There is a bit of a crew in town, as we are heading out on 4down/FBM trip to the REBEL JAM, if you are off to this, we'll have our first batch of sample products on display at the LA FINCA stand and under the legs of the riders, so go check em out, pics and bike checks coming on here soon.
