Slacking...

**EDIT-
Ok, so it seems some people have no idea what the Ltd. tee we are giving away is all about- 'Tuhoe Gun Club' so heres where the idea came from
"Oct 15 2007: Police raid houses nationwide and arrest 17 people, including Maori activist Tame Iti. Guns, napalm bombs and Molotov cocktails are allegedly seized. " This teeshirt is to shed light on these terrorist raids against the Tuhoe people, depending on which side of the fence you sit on the matter, the teeshirt could be interpretated a number of ways.

Ive just posted up some info on a competition Im running over on the re-vamped Quietchaos site, click the banner over to the right for more info. Heres the goss-

"In 2008 we are running a year long promotion- every issue of VICE magazine in 2008 will have a themed ad and most of these will play on a recent controversial event. Each ad will coincide with the release of a limited edition teeshirt following the same theme. Tee shirts will only be available on www.quietchaos.co.nz and only 10 will be available to win.
Ive just got the next issues ad ready, and its a laugh.. all I can say is Britney could be on my back!"

Check out the Dec/Jan issue of VICE in stores any minute - check this issues tee- this could cause a stir but hopefully everyone can see the lighter side of it! When entering you will be asked for an Entry Code, its on the Ad in VICE mag, but here it is for faithful zombies who cant find the mag- this issue its '421'
You can enter by clicking the banner at the top of the site HERE
Winners will be notified early March (when the Feb Issue hits stores)

Theres a Dirt Jump jam coming up 23rd of Feb from 12.00 until dark, the venue is 'Dave & Lewis' s place half way from Hamilton to Raglan. I havent seen the jumps but from what I understand thay are pretty sweet and not super huge so easy for anyone to ride. Paul Needham is heading up the whole thing and has built the jumps so they'll be in top shape. Address is 153 Cogswell Rd, half way from Hamilton to Raglan. Email lester [at] quietchaos.co.nz if you need more info and Ill see what I can do.
See you there!

If you haven't seen/heard yet, the Rascats (Fit Riders) have their own rasta-blog at www.rascats.blogspot.com

Stefan Lantschner who rides for Fly Bikes and Nike 6.0 had a promo sorta vid up on the Fly site a while ago, if you aint seen it yet its well worth a look, the dude rides fast, high and radical, has good bicycle riding technique and nice two wheeled stunting. Click HERE


The above might oneday be needed if this website keeps growing....

RANDOM UPDATE

Do you remember Cherry Coke? that shit was the best drink ever and for some reason during the 90's they took it of the market in NZ! I thought you could only get it in other countries but I managed to find someone who sells it here in Auckland City the other day.........that made my day and is worth a post.



Below are a few photos that I thought might interest a few people, either that or the story behind it might be interesting to someone. Basically Its a T-1 frame I own from about 4 years back, but they deal behind this thing is that its a T-1 prototype made from Reynolds tubing that actually belonged to shredded Garret Byrnes himself. He left it with Triple Six Distro in Australia when he was on a world tour, and one way or another it ended up with me involving a deal with a road bike frame. Anyway I'm pretty stocked to own it, its a nice piece of BMX history. Oh yea it only weighs 5lb too which is fuckin light for a 4 year old frame.



Anyway thats enough random crap for now, Ill have some info on some up and coming jams soon as well, so keep an eye out for that. Also I would like to thanks Alan Montefiore for the help with the web page.... thanks Alan!

HOW FAR WILL IT GO!

I see lester posted a link below to a crazy light bike, so I thought I would post this bike I found kicking around on the net too. When I look at a bike like this it makes me think... how far is this lite weight shit gonna go.. I mean this bikes running 24h wheels or something, those things would cave if you cased a 20ft double, and its got MTB cranks...WTF! I thought you where suppose to have BMX cranks on a BMX... and to top it all of its got alloy bolts through the whole bike, imagine landing flat on a 6 foot air out of a 6 foot 1/4.... good by face... you can bend those things with your hands. Don't get me wrong I'm not saying light bikes are a bad thing, I run a 22lb bike myself..... but just remember its better to have a strong and safe bike than something to light.. you maybe able to bunny hop whip on your 16lb bike, but as soon as you got to catch some mega hang time or three a 20 set your taking a risk!!! thats if you can even air a bike this light. Anyway check it out, you do have to admire the length this guy has gone to save weight.



One last thing, I have heard a few people are having trouble viewing this site, so just letting you know I'm working on it and should be fixed soon!

ACOUPLAPICS

Dreary day down here in Hamilton so heres a couple of things to look at-

Geoff Slattery has mad boooost! This is a pic from the latest Dig mag (which wont see NZ shores for a couple of months probably) I got this off some site- probably Defgrip.net?


How long will it take for 'fixie' riders to realise they should just get a BMX? Even a scooter is better than this! (no offence if you ride one!)

that is all...

UPDATE!

Theres not much going on at the moment so here is a random update. First of all below is a few photos of the new EDH prototype stem which is looking pretty rad. Its a quiet a bit different from there last stem, one of the main differences is its allot longer (52mm). If you want to know more about the stem head over to www.edhbmx.com. 2008 should be a big year for EDH and I'm sure there going to have more new innovative products out this year.

If your bored and browsing the internet check out these great sites:
http://www.clubhorny.blogspot.com/
http://skullbikeclublog.blogspot.com/

Also below is a photo from the PMP dirt comp, the photo is of Paul Langland stretching a super man seat grab over Barry (the biggest jump there) mid train. Shortly after the photo was taken Paul killed himself trying to flip the same jump, he walked away with a lacerated spleen and both his kidneys.... fuck!

As for the new years giveaway so far no one has got the question right, so if you want to win the small prize packet all you have to do is email answering this question: which year or how long has the zombie bmx site been running! so far allot of people have been very close but not quiet right!

TWO DOUBLE OH EIGHT

Happy New Yeah!
Its the first of the first so what better time for me to start posting, Ill be throwing up anything I find interesting around the net and probably ranting and raving about various riding and related type of stuff.

Just spent the last few days up in Pauanui doing some fishing and working on my tan lines, went to hit the park up but had a gay little crash and tweaked my knee pretty good withing 5mins of getting there so off the bike for a while- hence Im sitting inside at the computer on a mint day like it is today!!! While I was up there I snapped a few pics of some dudes up there riding,


Piggy from Auckland was blasting around so we tried for a look back with a plane coming into land behind him unfortunately our timing was a bit off but you get the idea. I managed to talk him into hitting a sizeable gap from a bank over a bit of grass to a tranny, he peadled his ass off and cleared it sweet on second hit.


Also sifting around on his 10 speed was Stephen who Mike posted about a few weeks ago. Hes had some surgery and is all fixed up, another few weeks or so and he'll be back charging, check out he scars! GNAR
Some of the Hamilton crew had made there way to the park from Thames at about 4am for some strange reason and were sleeping around the sides of the park heckling. The only Emo-Biker in Putararu - Kenny is good as.

In other news, if anyone sees a 17" Powerbook Mac laptop for sale cheapish, let me know as some lowlife broke into my house Christmas morning and stole mine!!! Unfortunately that means Ive lost a whole lot of recent photos which really sucks!

Theres a bunch of good web vids floating around at the moment, scalped these from a few sites-
Micreation 'From Nothing' Trailer -
Give D Xmas Edit
Primo Web Vid

till next time...
