28 October 2009 Wayne has been working like a slave to get
the trails in prestine condition for the jam this weekend... and
I keep getting random messages from people saying how good their
outfit is going to be! Here's what Wayne had to say when he sent
the pics "Been Prepping hard at the trails. Built all weekend
and was rewarded with Sunsets like this every night." 20 October 2009 Yes, that's right... yet another amazing day of BMX is going down soon... and all thanks to Wayne Reiche. Since the return from his crazy African mission he has been working hard putting this jam together at his trails...
Some things to think about: - Product Piñata’s! Rumour has it that you will have to deal with this guy and his
twin brother if you don't dress up... 19 October 2009 Warwick Preddy is studying at Rhodes Uni in Grahamstown and sent
us through a few pics. If you stay in or around G-Town find him
on facebook and hit him up for a session some time. Ridaz! 12 October 2009 Colin
just sent through this banger web vid of some clips he has collected
in the past few months... And DAMN! This is gutchy!!! Oh and watch
it full screen for sure, looks better. colin loudon fox brigade interweb
clip from colin loudon
on Vimeo. The first lot of pics came from our friend Chase Beynon that he took of Jordan and TIm at Sunninghill. The second lot came from James Plumridge that he took at the BMX Worlds in Cologne, Germany. Thanks for the pics guys.
07 October 2009 Here is a web video Miles Rogoish put together of Greg Illingworth, Justin Coble, and Miles himself. This is basically what Greg got up to after Mega Tour.
Mongoose Web 3 from mongoose bike co on Vimeo. 06 October 2009 DC shoes have added Brad Illingworth to their already rocking BMX team. Look out for DC getting involved in BMX in South Africa in a big way... and watch out for Brad shredding in some new kicks.
SA BMX legend Rupert Von Tutschek
has been living in Scotland for the past few years. It seems he
has given in to temptation and is returning to good weather and
great people... this is what he had to say While most of the other teams hung around Chicago to ride some spots we headed straight to Milwaukee to ride 4 Seasons skatepark. We got there just in time for a late night session. The park was really fun and pretty much had everything you could ask for. The following day, we were shown some street by a few Milwaukee locals. The spots were really good and I saw James do one of the craziest drops I’ve ever seen… he went of f the top of a truck into a sketchy tar bank! We then headed to Madison where we spent the next two days riding the most amazing street on the University campus, which seemed to never end. Every corner we turned we found another spot to ride. Our next stop was the twin cities (Minneapolis and St Paul). We drove straight to the Banana Thunder HQ, which is basically a big house where 6 BMXers and 1 skater live! These guys immediately took us to awesome spots to film before it got dark. The next day was the 7th and last of Mega Tour. This was the day that all teams had to come together again to shoot some interviews and ride together. By this time only a few guys were in any state to ride. I was tired and sore from the week of non-stop riding and chose to sit back and watch the madness go down. Good byes were said and most of the guys
left to go home… except for Miles and myself. We stayed on
in St Paul at the Banana Thunder house with Eastern Bikes team rider
Eric Holley who was also on Mega Tour. Minneapolis is Eric’s
hometown… that combined with staying at a house with 6 riders
and a skater meant we were never short of people to ride with or
banger spots to ride. We then headed to a little town called Menomonee with a bunch of guys for a skatepark jam that was going down there. The jam was super fun with no real structure or pressure to ride… everyone was just there to have fun. We also managed to get in a few good street sessions while we were there. We all headed back to St Paul the day after the jam. Spent a few more days riding and filming there and then flew with Miles to his hometown, Tulsa. Tulsa was so much fun, the scene reminded
me a lot home. I really got to see a different side of America here
and loved every second of it. Met a lot of really good people here,
they all were very hospitable and were always down to go ride. I
went to a back yard trail jam at Chadilac trails… the guy
that owned the house and built the jumps and mini ramp was called
Chad… The vibe here was super chilled, and good times were
had! ! After a few more days in Tulsa riding
street we headed out to Las Vegas for Interbike and Nora Cup. The
20 hour drive was well worth it in the end… Vegas is overwhelming!
Interbike is a huge bicycle trade show and BMX holds a small section.
It was awesome to see all the bike companies displaying their new
products not to mention almost every BMX pro in America was there.
Nora Cup happened the second night we were in Vegas and lived up
to all expectations as being a wild party… It’s basically
BMX’s version of the Emmy’s except way more rowdy. A
bunch of partying went down in Vegas but not much riding happened.
A few wild days later and we were on the road back to Tulsa…
we had to make a 20 hour drive in 18 hours to get one of the guys
to the airport in time for a flight. I spent the last four days in the states riding the streets of Tulsa and getting a few more clips. All the footage of Miles and myself is being used for a Mongoose web video that will be online in a couple of weeks. This entire trip was absolutely amazing and I can’t wait to go back to the states. Thanks to everyone that gave me a couch or floor to sleep on and showed me around America. Ridaz!”
