Halloween


HAPPY HALLOWEEN
Our pumpkins should scare off even the bravest of trick-or-treaters...

WYN MASTERS INTERVIEW


You may remember Wyn Masters from such programs as Dirt.TV or MTBcut, but more likely you remember him for his crazy hair, wild riding, and colorful personality. New Zealanders have paved a way for themselves on the World Cup circuit over the past few years, so Wyn jumped onboard to live out his dream of riding bikes to see what the party was all about.....

This is It- MJ


Saw the Michael Jackson film "This Is IT" last night, and was so inspired. It's hard to know the truth about his life, but from this movie, he was looking on point and ready to perform with the most talented crew behind him. Aussie chick rocking the lead guitar so hard. This was sort of a behind the scenes look at the production of his concert. His moves are deep. I was mesmerized for hrs watching him dance.

Revolution cover for BRYN!


It is always super special to get a magazine cover, especially when it is such a rad photo. Timmy (TBS) nailed it with this shot of Bryn scrubbing in Whistler. Revolution is one of Australia's premiere MTB mags. Thx to Johnno, the editor of Revo, and timmy for the pic:) Making sponsors proud is what we do:)

Happy 28


28 In my prime:) Woke up to this lovely card from Bryn. Apparently I am a squid? not a term to be thrown around lightly in this camp. Good for laugh, at least:)

Had an awesome day, mom made breakfast, opened some presents, then the sun came out long enough for a crew to ride/hike bikes to the top of tiger mountain, and enjoy every wet rooty bit of heaven on the way down!!! besides for Bryn having the flu and not getting to enjoy the day outside, it was glorious...Thanks for all the B-Day wishes:)

Fantasy factory

If you haven't seen the MTV show Fantasy Factory, you are missing out. It is the funniest show ever, especially season 2. My stomach hurts from laughing so hard. Check it out, MTV.com , in America you can stream the full episodes. Swissy n cheesy:) rob dyrdek is hillarious.

Women's SX final from Frejus


I raced here in Frejus two years ago, awesome track, usually super windy though. This video is from 2009, couple weeks ago, parallels the Roc d'azur. It's impressive to see the level of women's racing out there at international events. Think 30-40 entries? BMX in france way more technical, add Supercross ramp = rad. Arielle, my US homie, kept it real for America. Congrats.

Hair Band?


Tight curly hair is pretty limiting. It's either full on rocker or same ol. I was imagining what to do with my 'do from the safety of my laptop:). Too bad I don't play the guitar. Maybe I SHOULD just go all rocker!!, wheww! .

Big Mountain Adventures


You probably couldn't dream up anything better . Pure Awesomeness, check this out....

Decline- Nov 09


There's some pretty good stuff in this issue of Decline Mag. Besides having a crazy motion hologram cover, sweet smokey and the Bandit custom helmet story, Crankworx pics, etc, they also refer to Lopes as being "faster than greased up Owl poop". Too funny.

Olympic Press Book


I never thought my little eyeballs would get the chance to see this book!!! To my delight, GT released it, and absolutely made my day!!! This is most of the public media collection from Olympics, not bad for a year's work:). PR firms have services that track every newspaper and major source of exposure, then submit a sweet book at the end of the year. Not cheap, but such a rad piece of history to have!! Thank you MFA(PR firm), and Cannondale I guess, now that they merged GT.

Dirt 92


Some mag coverage for Worlds. Dirt magazine is good to me, thanks guys!!.

This pic means more than it reads I think. At Canberra Worlds, I lost a lot of motivation for 4x. Next season I am going to try my hand at different types of riding/racing and get some creative projects rolling with help from Red Bull and my other sponsors:). I am looking forward to new challenges. Slalom, DH, GS, Super D, pump tracks, street racing, 20", whatever, Bring it. An underground slalom movement needs to happen!!

Bmx'n

Threw my little 20" in the back of my car, went down to the track, and first lap managed a quadruple manual. That's 4 rollers in a row. Not that big of deal probably for most dudes, but I was stoked. Never done it before. Wish Arielle could've seen it:) but she is here- , in France at the SX...

New Bike Psyche


SEATTLE, WA
Was trying to sort through my crap piled up in the basement and got extremely side tracked building this bike. I parted out one of of my spare Gt olympic Bmx bikes (still packed in it's little golf bag) and came out with this stealthy rig. No chain as of yet, but it pumps good....Thanks Pete D.

Sweet app.

XpenseTrkr sounds like something only finance nerds would be into, but I swear it is one of the best iPhone applications you will ever use. You input expenses as you go, then export the data to xcel or email it, and poof, the big end of the year reciept bag blowout is easily avoided:). Try it, makes my mom happy when she does my taxes:)

Poor chicAgo:(

Looks like the 2016 olympics will be down in Rio. Brazil has beautiful beaches, and people, but the cities are a trip. So many people, divided classes, poverty. Like Beijing, Rio has a great oppourtunity to show the world some South American culture and hospitality! If it's anything like the World cups we had down there, should be unforgettable. The fans will be on another level!! Bring stickers!!

Chicago is a rad city, it's a shame, way better When it's on our own turf. Politcs take over in these things though, so I guess Oprah and Obama didn't have enough pull:)
