Back in....

....Aus just in time for the shit weather.

Zombie Mike with the Hop Comp trophy

The weekend was awesome except the rain.
The rain did clear up though for one day for the ZombieBMX.com hop comp. I actually got sun burned. We threw together a sweet flatbank/lander dubbed the "Die Zombie" ramp and it actually made it through the whole day. The In'n'Out ramp was in effect with peps shredding that all day. In the hop comp, 43 inches was the end result by Simon Palmer. It was a battle for the top spot but Simon took the glory. I was stoked and suprised to hop the 41" mark myself which was way more then i thought i could hop haha.
A In'n'Out comp was put on after the hop comp with Louis Bolter taking that out with sweet high speed 180's out and all other sorts of things. Next up was a few rounds of Foot down which was awesome. Smashing day had by all thanks to Zombie Mike, 666 Mike, Sophie for holding the store for us, Redbull for the beats and shade and everyone else involved.

666 Mike on the blower. Probably buying more Nikes

Next up was the 666NZ product showing in a art gallery we hired out. The night was a huge hit with a bunch of peps showing up(mainly to drink the free beer i reckon). Everyone seemed to be stoked on the 08 stuff and the new Fremont clothing and Forgotten Bikes completes.

Special thanks to Mike and Sophie for putting up with me, Zombie Mike for putting on awesome jams and the Auckland fire department for waking me up at 2am by standing in my hotel doorway for no apparent reason.
