Czech yourself before you wreck yourself
We stayed in Prague, Czech Republic for 4 days and to be honest the city was cool but the people were not. I've seriously never met people so uninterested in everything, I even got pretty majorly champ attacked on a flat rail by some local kids, what's depressing is that one of them was actually really good. I've seen champing take place more times than I care to remember on transitions but to see it come from one of my fellow street brothers was a bit of a reality Czech. Never the less we Czeched out Mystic Skatepark which I'd seen in videos before and it really is as fun to ride as it looks.

This place is almost completely dominated by skaters, nearly all of them are super good too. It's really fun to watch, I have the upmost respect for good skaters who give respect back to the bmx community. I really don't see why we can't all peacefully coexist, not everybody shares my view, but, all this skater vs bmxer shit needs to stop in my opinion. Most local skaters here were pretty chilled out, you really just have to Czech before you roll out onto the course.

That's all for now, remember to Czech back every couple of days for more Euro goodness. Sorry I know this post was terrible.

Vocko comes through!
I would just like to say a quick congratulations to my boys Mike Vockenson and Stephen Joseph (photographer) for scoring the cover of issue 41 of 2020 bmx magazine. For those of you who don't personally know Mike let me assure you he is one of the most down to earth, laid back and talented dudes in the Australian BMX scene right now. For some of you younger kids out there (not all), but some, let me school you on a few things. Many of you are 'fully sik' at doing tail whips but you fail miserably at being a pleasant person to be around. As well as being extremely talented, friendly and approachable Mike has, perhaps most importantly, respect for other people. He is a walking example of just how far you can get in life with such qualities. So take note and expect to see even more big things from Mike in the future. I'm stoked to call Michael my friend, congrats again mate!

Germany
I know it's cliche as fuck but Oktoberfest was a whole mess of fun, despite us spending most of time sinking piss with Australian and English back packers...
Berlin Skate Hall proved to be a fun session despite my 'old mate' lower back pain paying me a visit the next day. I hate it when that cunt shows up...
We're now in Prague, Czech Republic, which is proving to be a quite under rated city. More posts coming soon.
