Dude, a company has to work hard these days to promote a new T-shirt design. Steve Crandall had to dig to send us 5 photos so we would actually post a photo of their new T-shirt design. The crazier the better of course and Steve sent us the new DIG ad, the boys having fun at a fire, Derrick Girard doing a burn-out on his motorcycle and two photos of the actual T-shirt. Well, it's who they are and what they do. If you're into doing the same thing you might want to contact them to see if they've got some new shirts left.

Well, here it is. First of all, one million apologies for the delay. It really took more than we expected. Choosing the best distributor for Flybikes was not easy. We had to think about many things, but we couldn´t be happier with the result. Good things usually take time…. Flybikes will now be distributed through QBP and GREENHOUSE. Both distributors are already receiving stock in about 10 days so shops can go ahead and contact them.

The reason we have chosen two distributors are many. One important one is that it will be easier to have stock of all our stuff available all the time. This was something that we needed to improve. Most of the shops already know about QBP; how well they work and their amazing values, especially on environmental issues. I wish all the companies would follow their steps….

Friday night, March 21, there was a fire at the south end of the area where the BMX Jam ramps are being stored after the Toronto BMX Jam. Unfortunately, this was the area where 3 of the corners from the bowl were located so we have lost all 3 of those corners plus 2 – 3 foot quarters, the left hand side of the grind box and some tables. Few details yet as to who caused it, but judging from the amount consumed by the fire, it must have been a bit of a raging inferno for a while. Someone noticed and called the fire department – the fire department did a tremendous job of ensuring that the fire was

Teams from Eastpak, United, Twenty, DK, wethepeople and the Bicycle Union traveld across Europe to gather footage for Props' Megatour DVD. Some went to the sun (beach) straight away, others went back home immediately, some were actually looking for good places to ride (indoors) and the DK team went straight to the ghetto. It's good to see common faces in a big production like this and neither the riding nor spots are under quality. It represents the state of European BMX well. In fact BMX is alot the same in a lot of countries. You get in a vehicle, you drive to a spot, you ride, film, shoot. You get injured or you are stoked on a clip and you party the night away. Back to the van an on your way to a new spot. Putting everything together in one DVD is a major task. To get the names right alone for every clip of the forty (foreign) riders is a nightmare. When you buy a copy of Props you don't have to worry about that. The production crew did that for you.
