25 May 2008 Specials, New Stock and a kick ass photo
First off, we have specially imported a few sets of Odyssey Twisted PC pedals. These pedals have been under such great demand that not even Odyssey has any stock. So we decided to mailorder some in. This method has cost us quite a bit more... but we know that some of you guys are desperate for them. The numbers are very limited, so please call ASAP if you would like some. They will now be selling for R205.00 per set.
Then we have some specials at the moment:
-Snafu Thirteen Cranks - R1095.00
- Federal T-Nez Frame (20.85, sbb, int headtube) - R1295 or R1750 incl h/set and bb
- United Kilby Frame (20.5, mid bb, int headtube) - R1495 or R1950 incl h/set and bb
- Mongoose Legion frame: full cromo, 20.75" TT, mid bb, int h/tube. - R700.00 or R1150 incl h/set and bb.
- DK 4 pack frame - full cromo, 20.75" TT, spanish bb, int h/tube - R800.00 or R1250 incl h/set and bb
Wayne Reiche sent us another dialed shot of Greg from the Gate Crash Tour. For some crazy reason this never made the cut for the Gate Crash Tour feature coming out in Blunt next month. Their loss, our gain. Click the photo to be directed to Wayne's blog.
19 May 2008 Hoodies in Stock
The weather man was heard saying this past weekend was the last warm one before winter officially hits. So, you'll be psyched to know that the new hoodies are in stock. R350.00 for normal zip up and R425 for sherpa lined zip up (extra woolly lining that'll keep you warm in the himalayas). Here's a shot of Brad wearing the Sherpa lined version.
Malcolm Update
Malcolm sent us this pic. This is nuts! Look how narrow the passage is. The photographer was so nervous he couldn't even hold the camera level.

16 May 2008 Dell(icious)
Tim and Devin have been working on a little web edit for a while. Wayne Reiche went along on one of the filming days and snapped this stunner of Tim. Apparently he almost killed some pedestrian and himself on one attempt.
Now it's time to share the edit...

02 May 2008 Greg Gets 9th at Asian X-Games
Greg let us know this afternoon that he got 9th place at the Kia Asian X-Games in Shanghai. He qualified for the finals on his first prelim run however in his second he took a hard fall that wrecked his rear wheel and ankle. Riding with a jacked ankle and a borrowed wheel he unfortunately had another fall in the finals. Non-the-less, congrats Greg and heal up quick.
The final breakdown of results hasn't yet been released but this is what was said on the official Asian X website - "Garrett Reynolds rode his way to the BMX Park title as his free-flowing style won not only over the judges but also the crowd as well. His fearless style and grinning face caught the imagination of the supporters at the KIC Jiangwan Centre. Reynolds pipped Sergio Layos for second and Chris O’Donnell snatched third place from Kiattichai Wanitsakul by a difference of only 0.34 points. The Thai paid the price for a heavy fall during his second run."
Street Mission
Yesterday a bunch of us went to town to have a chilled session. We ended up at a pretty well known spot in Joburg and everyone took turns hitting the flyout.
A face that hasn't been on the website in ages... Jimmy Reynolds. Jimmy is up in Joburg filming a feature film with his dad. He had the day off yesterday and joined in the sesh. Was like the old days, good times.
Mo is back in town until Sunday and as always shit goes down when he's around. Last night he asked this 2 dollar hooker if it was a boy or girl. Rather than say anything the hooker just whipped out a tit and placed it Moe's hand. The rest of the night she kept refering to him as niggabitch. Nuts!
Tim is on a quest to bring X-Ups back. So far so brilliant. Viva Trail-Style, Viva. Oh yeah, welcome to May. We know it's getting cold and it's only gonna get colder but don't fret, we're gonna have some Riot hoodies in stock very shortly. More on that soon.
