Carhartt Europe supports BMX in a big way. They've got a full team of shredders, support contests like the Rebel Jam and advertise on FATBMX and other media. Their latest involvement with BMX is a wethepeople-Carhartt grip. It's a short run of grips so if you want a set, make sure to contact wethepeople or Carhartt and ask which shop carries them. 
We have been dragging the camera equipment around in regular backpacks for ages. Never owned one of those original Camera bags and before the camera, flash or any of the lenses got damaged, it was time to look into one. The O'Gio Atiba Mini bag became the choice and TM Fuzz helped out with that one (thanks). The size is actually perfect. We've never been known for carrying truckloads of camera stuff to contests and all we have fits in this Mini rucksack. It has multiple adjustable compartments that you can fit the the size that you need.

The Southern Hemisphere is facing winter at the moment. Winter sucks. But 2020 magazine tries to help you get through it. The Australian BMX magazine just came out with their June issue. June is usually the start of summer for us, but not for the Australians. You can imagine that the June issue is packed with events that took place over the '06/'07 Aussie summer. It has Colony's NZ tour, the Morrisey-Crisp trip to X-air, a report on the PMP trails (so dialled), the Red Baron Challenge, Zombie Hop, Rignwood openings, Jay's Jam, Tim Hales day, Kurri Kurri comp, Erindale drunk/ride fest, O'Town report, Colonizing China report by Clint, Metro Jam in SIngapore, Cooma Breakout and much more. The Australians seem to be into jams don't they? When Dave Dillewaard, Colin MacKay and Corey Bohan visited home over the winter (their summer), they did a trip to film for FuelTV. Senad Grosic (Austria) joined them. The Shitluck van made it to Australia.
Rebelyell have managed to get on top of my favorite BMX magazine list within publishing only two issues. Damn it's good. It's way more than a magazine. It's more of a book that you find at a book store than a BMX magazine that you find a the newsstand. The quality of the paper and the pictures is great and the layout fits well. When people look for a stylish magazine that gives them a feeling that BMX is more of a lifestyle than a sport, look no further, it's RebelYell. They've done it. Featured articles:
-Loose, Confused and hopeful
-Chalk and cheese
-The kids are not alright'
-What is travel. travel tales told
-Burnouts, Blow-ups & Beach bikes
-Not weird, just different
