Hey folks, not too much going on in the Baton Rouge area. The weather has been up and down and some riding has been going on here and there. I still haven't gotten any pics from the Fastlane contest so if anyone has some they'd like to see on the site shoot me an email (bmxman187@hotmail.com).
The new-and-improved Savage South site is up and running- you can check it out at www.savagesouth.com/blahg In other Savage South news the latest issue of Props has a ton of Savage products at the end in the New Products section. If you see something you like you will be able to order it from the new site in about a week.
Also, I am heading out to North Carolina at the end of the month for Props Megatour. I'll be on the trip filming the Albe's team as we make our way around the central east coast. It should be an interesting trip, being that I've never been on anything like this in the past. The rest of the teams on the trip are:
Team Major Air
Kink Bikes
Harley-Davidson
Woodward Camp
Failure Bikes
I'll be sure to update the site when I get back from the trip with some tall tales of BMX stunting.
Also, if you haven't check out the Sputnic BMX site (www.sputnic-bmx.com) you should give it a look. These guys came through New Orleans and Baton Rouge about a month ago and really shredded. There are a bunch of pictures from some spots you may recognize from the trip, so take some time to dig around the site a little bit. The parts are legit and the guys on the team are some genuinely nice folks. The pic above is one of their shirts that is pretty sweet, but be warned- the green shirt is SUPER bright. You may need sunglasses.
The new Empire BMX video "Chill Bro" will be premiering in Austin, TX on April 7th, so check the flyer below for the details. There's a bit more information about the premier on www.empirebmx.com so if you are planning on making the trek out to ATX you should check the Empire site first.
Finally, the JOMOPRO contest will be taking place in Joplin, Missouri on April 13-15th. The park is ridiculous and there is already a lengthy list of some pretty killer riders signed up for the event. You can check out all the details at http://www.jomopro.net/jomopro07/
There will be some Louisiana riders making the trip up for the contest so be on the lookout for some coverage of the event on the Interneck.
That's all for now, it looks like the sun is coming out so I believe I'll be going pedal around. Until next time...
