The very important news is the following feedback form that everyone should fill out. With the A.C.T. government being the way it is, it is almost impossible to build a set of trails out here. Trust us, we've tried. Which brings us to this. We have a bike park just out past Weston Creek called the Stromlo Forest Park, it holds everything bike related from cross country riding to the world class 4 Cross & Downhill events - the problem is it's all Mountain Bikes. With this feedback form, it has an option to choose to enhance the park by providing a BMX park area - basically a set of public trails. So please, as soon as you can, save this form, fill it out & e-mail it to: Stromlo@pb.com.au

If you're going to do something today, do this. We need to get as much positive feedback as possible for BMX at this park, we want to be able to build a public Red Bull Elevation course here, but with more lines for all ages.

If you can't e-mail it back, then just stick it in an envelope & mail it to the address on the form, or fax it through. As long as they get it & they realise how much BMX riders in Canberra (& Australia) need a place to ride some dirt.

In other news, Back Bone bro Will had a jam for his 23rd birthday in Young last weekend & there was a real good turnout, about 30 riders in Will's parents backyard riding some fun jumps. It was awesome to see a bunch of young dudes riding with some of the older crew. Speaking of older crew, dudes shredded all day, there were 3's, whips & flips - even a superman seatgrab from Puni. Anyway, here's a couple of photos for you to geez at.

This is what I wrote, but yours could be as simple as 'I think Canberra really needs a public BMX dirt park'. Matter of fact, as long as it's positive BMX, send it in. If you have nothing positive to say, then don't send it. Easy.

Birthday boy Will, laying it out.

Pete Majoinen, also laying it out.

Richy riches version of a one foot table.

Last Saturday was the nicest day all year. No wind, t-shirt weather straight off the bat, blue skies & riding with friends. Me trying to get a little sideways.

Lewis with one of those lookbacks. It's insane.

Will's little brother Chris, shredded the whole day. Can can!

At the end of the day, the fire, beer & probabaly some mayhem come out. And an epic sunset.
