Hollywood Mike Miranda! Tuesday, March 28, 2006


Stephen Murray just sent me this picture of him chilling at his house with 80s Hutch racer legend Hollywood Mike Miranda. Mike i guess changed his name nowadays rides Downhill Mountains nowadays for fun and runs some kind of training camp with Eric Carter over at Woodwood West.
Stephen is back on it for 06 and already doing huge front flip variations.

Vegas/ Infield Pros! Monday, March 27, 2006


Had to post this picture Jerry Mania sent me. from left to right buddies on the infiend! I. F Pros! D.B, Kyle , G and me! For more info on Vegas go to bmxmania.com. I didn't have a great weekend felt good from time to time but didn't really put anything together. Little Donny, Afro Bob and a super fast Javier Colombo look the big wins. My mate from England Nigel Cruiser Page raced Vet Pro for the first time, raced on flats came in 3rd,4th and won Vet Pro Open. Not bad for his first ever Pro race. The Uks Shanaze Reade destroyed the womens Pro class winning by a straight both days! Other UK riders Liam Phillips took some podiums both days and Kelvin Batey won some laps in his first weekend as AA!
Big thanks to Vince at Free Agent for taking care of us all this weekend.

Vegas UCI/NBL coming up this weekend Thursday, March 23, 2006



The last few days have been nice, hopefully no more rain. This weekend is the UCI/ NBL National over in Vegas, so I'm driving out there Friday morning with the National team for my first race in nearly 2 months! Dam that time off went quick, but I've not really been sick and I think I've got some good base in for the season ahead.
Pagey is making the trip out to Vegas to race his first ever Vet Pro race, along with our friends Pip and Heidi, Taylor and Lance from Murrieta, who are coming to watch, so between everyone there are about 10 English in our crew, along with Vince from Free Agent and Kyle, who we're going to hook up with at the race.
I hear all kinds of Euros will be in Vegas getting their Pre season on, so I'm thinking the Pro/ Elite class is going to be pretty deep with World talent. I also hear the Warlock is going to be back from injury and racing again after a long lay off!
Keep you all posted next week on what went down.

Todays picture J-Rich hanging out with a few Russian riders in Switzerland a few months ago at the European indoor.

Silver for Jamie Staff at Commonwealth Games Sunday, March 19, 2006



Quick update on the Commonwealth Games down under in Australia. Jamie Staff just picked up a Silver medal in the Team Sprint for England. Scotland was first and Australia came in 3rd.
Here's a classic picture from 1984, The British Team Coach Geth Shooter left 4788 with yellow pants jumping the Dolly Partens (as they were known) with Charlie Reynolds, in Poole England when he was 16 expert! I still never seen doubles on the first straight that big even today!
