Here’s a fresh edit courtesy of the man himself with some clips from the past couple of months. Check it!!!

Thanks to Nick too for helping out with filming/editing.

Finally got my hands on issue 16 thanks to Coops, and it’s packed! Check out focalpointbmx.com to grab a copy, and also check out the new shirts too!

Sneak peek of Nick Kajewski’s interview…

Brent, Lincoln, Josh F & myself all set off to make the trip up to Rocky this year where we stayed for a few days. The first day I almost got in a fight with some bogan and his mates who thought they owned the carpark at the skatepark and argued that my car was in the way of their radio controlled toys that they were racing around with. We exchanged words for a while until one of them threatened to smash my new car (which was not worth the risk because he had a mullet and would probably do it) and I decided to move on. Anyway… That aside, the trip was pretty good. We went to Rocky, Yeppoon, Calliope, Boyne Island & Gladstone to hit up the parks and catch up with some mates. The comp at Boyne was a bit smaller this time round with the bmx having it’s own seperate day instead of a combined event with skaters & scooter punks. Check out the pics…

As some of you would have heard by now, the bmx community sadly lost a rider to the Victorian bushfires recently. Nathan Charles was helping a friend to save the family home, but unfortunately there wasn’t much that could be done once the fire took hold.

Cooper from Focalpoint Bmx Magazine has come up with some tribute t-shirts with all proceeds raised going toward the Victorian bushfire appeal. To support, simply head over to focalpointbmx.com and follow the links to the online shop. They will go for $30 and come with a free dvd (while stocks last) and your money will go to a very worthy cause. Props to Cooper for getting this together.

R.I.P Charlzy.

This is just a quick edit we threw together of some clips filmed of Nick over a few days during Christmas 08. Thanks to Lembo for some of the filming too. I lost count of how many times they got kicked out of schools etc just to film the few clips they got. Check out our little scooter friend at the end of the clip too (language warning)!

Over the weekend a few of us (Pete, Lincoln, Josh F & his mate Chunk) made the trip up to a small coastal town called Bargara just outside of Bundaberg Qld. After getting lost and stuck behind almost every caravan on the road, we made it in one piece (except for Lincoln who was 11 beers into the trip). It was intended to be more of a small holiday if anything, but we took a couple of bikes and got a little bit of riding in. We stayed at a camp site for the duration of our visit, and the skatepark was about a minutes walk from our tent with the beach was just behind it. It rained on the second night while we were there and Lincoln’s mattress looked like it had been used as a door mat. The caravan park was probably glad to see the back of us, but the locals were pretty cool and somehow we didn’t get yelled at from our fellow campers. But anyway, after 3 days in the hot sun, we all returned a little worse for wear and glad to be back home. Here’s some photos from the trip.

I’ve been looking forward to this issue for a long long time now, and keeping it quiet has been super hard. Inside it features an interview with Josh Collins, myself (about photography), and Chris Courtenay, plus all the other usual goodness. Props once again to Cooper for a fine effort.
