Lag

I've had the last week off work and spent it in Sydney with my lovely lady and my bike. I didn't get as much riding in as I'd hoped due to rain and also a mountain of family/old friends to visit plus some visa shit to take care of but below are a few picks from my time down there...

Went to the Hell on Wheels end of Daylight savings jam at 5 dock and encountered my first ever death bowl, so sick haha

This tree ride was right by the Skatepark the Homie MTL and I rode it for a while, seems like good tree rides are rare and this one was super fun:

Mother Nature

Just two pics from last month Japanese tsunami that really shocked me.

Connections

Since I've been back to mother land aka France, I've been riding with my really good friend Morgann, who I started riding with and came visit me in Australia last year.



He got hooked up by Sputnic through the French distributor Unleaded and been destroying everything here in the South of France.

Recently he received an email from Ronnie Bonner over at Shadow and Sparkys Distribution telling him that they were coming to Europe for an 11 days business trip to check distributors and shops.

So a week later Morgann and I went to meet Ron, Mike and Arnaud from Sparkys and spent the day with them chilling in our town in Nice.

This guys are the truth, they payed everything for us, we laughed so much and it was such a rad time hanging out with them and showing them our cities.

Here's a few pics










They invited us to go visit them in Orlando, Florida and they are now part of the family ahha!

Shadow and Sparkys Distribution are doing the right things for the industry and those guys know whats up!

So once again I would like to thanks them for this awesome day and everything they've done for us. It was amazing!

The Albion is a brand new BMX magazine from the UK that was released today.

But who's gives a damn you would ask me.

The people behind it are no other than dedicated old contributors from RIDE UK

Steve Bancroft – A rider and photographer whose proved his mettle after 10 years in the industry.

Daniel Benson – A highly respected photographer and rider, who will be bringing this motley crew together.




The Albion will be available for free at local bike shops and selected stores nationwide.

The magazine will be on the shelves on the 1st of every other month starting with our first issue on April Fools day.

The size of the magazine will be a backpack friendly 200 x 265 with pagination of 148 including cover. Ads to Editorial will never exceed 40% – 60%

Seriously go check it, I heard a lot of good stuff about it.

the DIGGEST

The DIGGEST is a french website created and run by Soul Magazine photographer, Props contributor and all around french badass photographer Vincent PERRAUD.

It is basically a french version of the famous art/photo BMX related website DEFGRIP.

It is definitely an awesome website full of good features and photo galleries. I posted bellow a few pictures taken in Austin, TX from Megatour 10, and you can see the rest of the gallery here.

I love how lost footage surfaces randomly on the interweb sometimes!

Daddy Vockenson over at Crispystream found this lil mix of old footage captured by the homie Dave Philips over last year. Its pretty chilled, and errboy from the coast crew is in it and uses a awesome Bettles song!

It's sweet to see some old footage re-surfacing.
