you're famous when...

most people in Darwin probably wouldn't get it because advertising is banned in Darwin. No billboards. No Posters... and no advertising on our public buses. But if you've been to another capital city (or watched some bad american movies) then you will know... you've really made it when you get ya face on the side of a bus!!!

You've made it ETHAN!

no excuse...

trails are taking off... problem is they need work. isn't that a dirty word these days.

humpty doo now has a dedicated area for dirt jumps! protected and sanctioned!

so buy one of these...

and build some jumps....

so you can do these ones...

EPIC!

now go and read THIS

dig dirt/textbook turndowns

PUMP TRACK SESSION....

little tid bits here and there...

so lets face it... if you don't have facebook then you probably have a life... and you probably check websites! actual websites! like this one...

and...

language warning?

nahyouritemate!

i also spotted over on the S&M site that Matt Beringer joined the long list of long time top level pros that have spent major time in hospital after a crash... "So if you haven't heard by now, the homie Matt took a pretty bad crash yesterday, that ended him in ICU with a fractured skull."
ouch... so like the post on their website says... WEAR YOUR HELMET

YOU MUST WEAR A HELMET - it's a fact of life at any big event or any private skatepark in the entire world so wear one. deal with it. if you don't have a helmet then borrow one. there will be extras around on the day don't worry.

YOU MUST SIGN A WAIVER! - if you are under 18 then your parents/guardian must sign it. it's a permission slip and you must have one. they are available at SPOKESNT and possibly NT ELITE cycle and skate and also at the event on the day.

SEE YOU THERE! YEEEEWWWWWW!

The crew from Stowaway are already in town! They were spotted at Mindil Beach Markets on fireworks night! So look out for them shredding a park or street spot near YOU!
