New Era took fitted caps to the next level. Thousands of different designs have hit the market and over at Vans they've got their own models too. Once you know your size, you can start looking around. But Vans didn't stop at New Era, they allowed FlexFit into their hat program too. The 210Fitted by Flexfit has a good feel as well but the sizing is a little different. So before you have to cut your hair off to make it fit, try one on before you mailorder it.

Three more riders have been added to the list of invited riders for the King Of The Animal House in Greenville, NC on 11/12 December 2009.

Remember, there is a sweet car on the line for first place, a dirt bike for second and a bling bling watch for third. $ 8000,= USD will be given away in qualifying as well as a 125cc Yamaha TTR motorbike.

The invited riders list looks like this:
-Chase Hawk

How many riders do you know that have been with the same bike sponsor for almost ten years? That's loyalty right there. It sucks when these relationships come to an end. It's happening to Heath Pinter and his Giant ride. Here's what Heath had to say:

"As most of you have heard Giant Bicycles will not move into 2010 with its current BMX program. This will end contracts between Taj Mihelich, Corey Bohan and myself. Giant will still produce BMX bikes and use more of a Grass Roots approach to promoting their BMX line. It has been a great ride, this capped my tenth year with Giant. For the last ten years some of my best friends have been a part of Giant BMX in one way or another. I would like to thank Giant for all the support over the years, all the great times and everyone who has been a part of Giant BMX. Giant is a great company and I wish them the best moving forward. Thank you Taj and Corey for your support."
