25 February 2010 Here
are some pics of a few recent street rides. The first lot of pics
are from this past Saturday when a bunch of us hit up some Edenvale
spots. The second lot are from Emmerentia Dam where we went to shoot
an Episode of our Vuzu
videos. Edenvale pics by Devin Toselli. Emmerentia Pics by Peter
Hudson. Thanks for the pics homies. Right so now on to the Emmerentia Dam pics...
On the 20th of February 2010 Cape
Town’s V&A Waterfront witnessed the Ultimate X. The BMX
set up consisted of a 4 meter high roll in tower and two and 2 large
very trickable dirt dumps, simple bit SUPER effective! Everyone
who is anyone on the Cape Town BMX scene as well as Durban’s
Colin Loudon got involved and the local MTB (big wheelers) were
there to check it out too.. The format was chilled as it was not
a structured comp but rather a series of demo/jam sessions with
best rider and best trick comps but there was nothing chilled about
the riding.. The guys started ripping it up from the word go!!!!
Buddy was soon showing everyone what riding a bike is all about
with his massive airs and unique and world renowned style that makes
him the box legend he is.. Malcolm, Wayne and Colin got straight
into whips, flips and 3s and soon into the 1st demo Wayne wowed
the crowd with the 1st of his front flips. OSP local Malcolm peters
was on top form and always a crowd pleaser with his continuous steam
of whips, wip3s, truck drivers, double whips, huge dipped 3's and
even some near back flip whip attempts. Colin was also ripping with
every trick known to man but picked up a Earlier shoulder injury
which side lined him, but the rider of the day, as voted for by
the riders themselves had to be Wayne Reiche with a shopping list
of tricks including front flips, 720’s and back flips to name
a few.. The young talent also really impressed with riders like
Werner, Kim and Jason showing that they can ride with the big boys.
The general vibe of the event was awesome with all riders riding
at their limits and having as much fun as they could. Not even the
baking hot sun or the thought of the beer tent could stop the riding
with the last riders jamming well into sunset.. Im sure all involved
can’t wait for next years ULTIMATE X. Once again we have the amazing Eric Palmer to thanks for these awesome pics.
20 February 2010 Just
spotted this rad video over at Odyssey.
The video features soome of the Odyssey team riders shredding the
Empire ramp in Austin Texas. Aaron Ross, Tom Gugan, Chase Hawk,
and Jim Bauer all somp down some sweet lines.
A SESSION @EMPIREBMX FROM ODYSSEYBMX.COM 16 February 2010 It's not often that we get a pro BMX rider's
signature shoe here in SA. So when I got the mail that the Aaron
Ross' signature Etnies shoe was coming in I tripped out completely...
then I opened the attachment and saw how dope they are. I immideately
placed an order. To place pre-orders please email
sales@theriot.co.za with the subject as Etnies. Ridaz! 15 February 2010 James
Brawn from West Coast BMX
has been organising street rides in and around Cape Town in the
last few months. The popularity of these rides has has been unbelievable.
Around 40 riders showed up for this one as apposed to about 15 for
the first one in January. Ridaz! 03 February 2010 My Culture
magazine has been one of the only magazines covering BMX in South
Africa in the last year or so and they have been doing a damn good
job. Unfortunately with the internet around it is difficult for
print media to survive in a small industry like BMX. This has led
My Culture to go the route of an online magazine... the site is
awesome and while they cover a number of aspects in youth culture
their BMX content is top notch. The first issue they have gone electronic
with is issue 4 and has an interview The Riot's very own Tim Dell.
Go to the website, sign up, and buy the mag... even better buy a
subscription. It will be worth every cent.
