Framed!

I've been offered a new frame that doesn't exist yet. Pretty psyched, although there is nothing wrong with my banana bike. I think I'm going to get a BMX for my new honey. Everybody needs a BMX.
Laura made a helmet cozy for winter riding! I used it today to ride to the stadium to see the walls (covered in snow still).
Ride UK is running a story I wrote about finding BMXers in Argentina.
Pedal Magazine (a Canadian cycling mag) is running an interview with me in their next issue. I'm finally going to have a riding shot in a magazine!
A kid did one of those Clint Reynolds lawnmower fufanus at Ugly Ass HQ the other day, just before I dropped in. Seb or Merrick yelled at me if I remembered showing them lawnmower tailtaps the first day I met them while I was sprinting toward the vert wall. I changed my course, and peg manualed over the small jump box to a stalled lawnmower drop in. It rules to have 20 year old skills for when old tricks come full circle.
The third year of the King Of Quebec is well into the planning stages:
The dates so far are:
April 20 - 23 in Trois Rivieres
May 20 at Ugly Ass
June 17 in Quebec City
August 18 - 20 in Trois Rivieres
The sponsors so far are Etnies, Dragon, Dedication BMX, Krusher, Ugly Ass Bikes, MacNeil, Orchid, Little Devil, Ten Pack, Primo, We The People, Props, Animal, Federal, FBM, 1664, S7M, Fit, Kink, and Marseille. Ten Pack is making sure that the overall winners will be taken care of, as they are hooking up a MacNeil frame for the park winner, and a We The People frame for the overall flatland King.
