Another week in BMX put together in the FAT Friday. Thanks for checking in and checking us out.  Week # 7:
- A while ago we received a mail from Todd Bank. He mentioned that he had found a box on the attic with od negatives and prints from the time the he and his brother Devin started out riding in West LA in the early seventies. That in itself is rather interesting but he mentioned that he had photos of the quarterpipe that they built in their front yard in 1976 and pics of him and his brother riding the Marina Del Mar

We got our hands on an exclusive Banksgiving pair of Nike's. Here's some info on the shoe and some more Nike product that was sent our way: The Air Insurgent’s leather upper is laser-etched to perfection with graphics by 6.0 resident artist, Adam Haynes, and marks the first time we’ve lasered one of our own. Lock down the graphics with the neon orange Swoosh for added pop, throw on some gum soles for sticky-fresh grip, and the Banksgiving Air Insurgent is set for any shredfest you have in mind. 

Since Mike was moved from the ICU last week, he has continued to improve slowly, but steadily. Although, he is still basically in the "waking stages" of a coma, he has been opening his eyes more often, moving his arms and legs, and has even mouthed the occasional swear word! Today during his physical therapy session, he stood on his own for a couple minutes. He has also been responding to commands from the therapists and occasionally answering questions by nodding his head.

Even though he has lost a lot of weight and muscle tone, physically, he is doing well. His lungs are clear of fluid and all of the bruises from the initial accident are healed. His last head CT looked normal with no swelling.

Everyday, Mike impresses us with his improvements. However, we are also reminded that he still has a long road ahead of him. It is obvious by the look on his face, that the simple act of sitting up

Ben of WestOzBMX snapped this shot of these girls hanging out at a skatepark in West Australia. It's summer over there so they wear less clothing than the ladies that are stuck in wintermode. They're on BMX bikes too so perfect for today's FATBMX Pin-Up section.
