FBM!!

Since the FBM Wizards of Oz tour rolled through the East Coast of Australia we have seen more and more crew starting to ride FBMs. From Kids starting out on the Executioner entry level bikes all the way up to store owners getting on high end frames,
Here is Mitch from Helensvale BMX on the Gold Coasts new Howler, complete with FBM Apehanger bars. Mitch is a dialed Father , Surfer , BMXer and all round rad dude so we are stoked to see guys like Mitch
rolling around on FBM products.

New DVD Radness.

Two new DVDS rolled through the door this week and are def worth a little check out, peep the link above for the trailer to the 4Down volume 1 DVD that showcases all of the webvids (including some rad OZ footy-go Josh!) that this British Distro house has put out in the last year. Also from over near old blighty , The Emerald DVD is a full length DVD showcasing the Irish Scene.
Super nice dude Peter Adam filmed and edited this one- Both of these vids showcase a great style of there own and would also make great adds to your collection.

Jams and FBM riders.

Have a nibble on the link above and browse around the FBM site for all the latest and greatest in there neck of the woods,
While you are at it have a look at the two upcoming jams at Joondalup in WA and Fivedock in NSW. Both worthy of your time and put on by people who want to see BMX grow in the right direction. Kie Ashworth knows whats up and also knows how to turn a 3 upside down. Kie also happens to be one of the nicest people you have ever met and has earned his stripes traveling the world and is not afraid to work hard at his normal job to make it happen.

I want to extend my sincere thanks and best wishes to the following(in no particular order) Kelvin Pentland, Kie Ashworth, Pat Oneil, Lou Reeves, Peter Koh, Kenny Horton ,Garrett Guillams, Steve Crandall, Kane Chappell, Dave Rubinich , Damon and Bec Andrews, The Mcblane family, Mitch Donnely and Family, Matt Lawnton, Bently Fitzgerald ,Wolfy and housemates. Rhys Williams and the Backbone Crew, Dubbo Caravan park and Big Will, Coffs Harbour moonlight, Stradbroke island kegs, Nick Cooper and the Beenleigh Wildcats and to all of the rad dudes we met, chilled , rode , sank beers with and generally made me realize what an awesome place we live in Thanks for the good times! If you want to get behind one of the hardest working brands in BMX that actually gives too hoots about what they do and who rides for them get an FBM!

Staying True..

Whats better than being on the road with an AMAZING CREW of creative and talented riders from all over the globe?
Not much really the Wizards of Oz tour has been a totally amazing trip so far and there is still a few more days to go. We are up in Lismore right now staying with Damon Andrews from Stay True, Damon and i have been friends via mail long before digital cameras existed. Damon is now the proud owner of 32 hectares of prime land out side of Byron Bay with trails in progress and a baby on the way you could say Damon is a proud man. Look for extended coverage in 2020 , Focal Point and Dig Magazine in the next few months...

From Canberra to Sydney to Newcastle to Dubbo to Lismore to Byron Bay and then finally onto the Goldy. Keep tuned for updates and stories from the road. Heres the crew .

Rough times in the bush.

Obviously nothing is closer to all Australians hearts than the Horrific bushfires that have tormented Victoria over the last few weeks, All of us here at Stowaway want to send sympathy to anyone that has been affected by these terrible events and hope that there is a light at the end of the tunnel for all involved. Loads of concerned riders and stores have begun putting there money where there mouth is which is great to see , Little Black Bike in Adelaide, The Sanction in Albury and Strictlybmx.com in Melbourne have all had or are in the process of having Benefits to raise money for the victims. Dig deep dudes someone you know in some way or another has been affected by this tragedy. In other news in case you were wondering why we have been short on the web updates over the last two weeks its because we have moved! We have moved to a bigger facility to better handle the stock levels we need to have to keep all of your favourite stores stocked up. That said our internet and phone services are slowly getting back up to speed so our apologies if you have not been able to get though to us over the last few weeks.
most importantly our phone number is changed and is now 08 82763666. Please update your address book so we can continue to offer you the same service you are used to.
Thanks for being patient!

Winter on the East Coast...

This is the view from the back porch when i got up today, The same as the last two weeks actually what can i say but winter on the East Coast of the USA is a tough one. Thank god for snowboarding is all i can say! Went down to check on the progression of Catty woods today and actually could not even leave the neighborhood for the ice! The Animal Crew know how to deal with the harsh winters over here better than anyone. Mike Osso who rides for Animal on their pro team knows whats up. Mike aint scared of a solid 12 hour day working the books and doing alot of the admin that is needed to keep Animal at the top of the game. When the siren sounds though you can bet Osso is straight on the steed and firing Bars and tabes untill the early hours at the Animal Warhouse ramps. Osso is the man. More news when i can safely leave the suburb.
