May 2010 16 May 2010 Greg went over to the UK a few weeks ago for Ride UK BMX Magazines Ride to Glory. The trip was only a week long but when it was done Colin and Tim joined Greg over there to travel around and film for The Riot video. So far they have been to Basingstoke, Liverpool, and Newcastle. From Newcastle they head to London for a week and then back home. Here's a few pics they've snapped so far. We have done the final draw for the Etnies giveaway. Here are your lucky 3 winners: 1st - Danny Flax We will notify our winners via e-mail, and arrange to get them their awesome prizes from Etnies ASAP! 07 May 2010 We promised two more videos, and here you have them... the first one is the Green ramp edit. Last month, Greg posted pics of a Green ramp sesh, here. Here's the motion picture version: Greenramp Shredding from The Riot on Vimeo. The second video is from the Sunninghill skate park, which was recently re-launched: Sunninghill Mix Up from The Riot on Vimeo. 05 May 2010
This past weekend saw some awesome trails action at Dirtopia down in the Cape. Dirtopia is a MTB festival that's been going on for the past ten years, it's an awesome weekend of camping, chilling, and tons of bicycle riding. From cross-country enduro's & night rides to a free ride comp, trials, a downhill race and three days of BMX trails sessions! It's an amazing eventm, and worth the time and money getting from JHB all the way down there! Be there next year! Since pretty much the beginning of Dirtopia, Wayne Reiche and co. have been called in to build the dirt setup. As per usual, the boys did a stella job, and provided an awesome set of jumps! Much respect to Wayne, Harold, Kenneth, Jason, Savage and whoever helped them! Watch the edit below, and see the pics to get an idea of how rad it is! There was no comp, just pure trail shredding! Thanks to Colin for getting this edit done
before he left for UK, and thanks to Wayne, Colin, & Savage

Wayne, backflip's good for you
On Friday, before anyone was really even there yet, Wayne was already firing big stuff! On Saturday, he got straight back into it and after a few runs he through down this fronty... that went wrong! He ejected and landed on his back, his head was flung back and it hit the ground really hard. Wayne took a few falls that morning already, and some the day before. He didn't get up immediately, but Wayne has taken many hard hits and so nobody panicked. But after a short while, he was still down, Colin went up to him and his eyes were rolled back... he was knocked out for a short bit! He was stretchered off by the medics, and later went to hospital to get x-ray'd and checked out. His last FB status update sums it up "Finally Home from Dirtopia!!! Thanks for all the well wishes. If you wondering, I just have a broken coccyx, a severely bruised bum and ribs, Sprained wrist and a slightly tender right side of my face. Party this weekend!!!! :)" The dude is more than Ford tough!
