In 2012, while working on a new DVD project, I came across fresh talent to feature in the production. Richard Crossley spoke highly of Mitchell McDonald, also known as Macca, who I met at Capalaba skatepark to shoot some clips. This marked the start of our collaboration.

Here is the video from our carnival jam at Skatepark de Lyon on Feb 21. Disguises were highly recommended to enjoy a fun schedule : Crepes, Best Tricks, Game of BIKE and above all a lot of good time.
Trey Jones and the Swampfest crew really outdid themselves once again, and took the course madness to a new level, literally and figuratively. Get a sneak preview into various obstacles, like an actual bowl with pro-poured concrete sections, and a full Cribs-style tour of the 45-foot tall Swamp Castle, all of which will end up as a smouldering pile of ashes come Sunday morning.

In 1996, I stumbled upon an ad for Clint Millar's video, Prody 4 - Remember, in BMX Plus or Ride BMX. Intrigued, I purchased a copy and was blown away by the incredible riding. Little did I know that this encounter would lead to an incredible journey and friendship.

The challenge book is back open for Day 2, and the cast meets up with the "Texas Madman" Morgan Wade for the Open Loop challenge; Kevin Robinson Jr. takes one for the team during foot-down at Lot 8 and makes a decision that could cost him later on.
The BMX gods allowed Jon Mackellar and friends some time to build some epic DIY ramps in an abandoned warehouse in the western Suburbs of Brisbane.
