MR. MATT HAS A HOTTT BMX

Owner: Matt
Bike: 80's chrome diamondback feat. Skyway Tuffs
Location: Preston

This is our friend Matt's bike. He's a rad dude that we first met at the Phrase show last year. This bike is RAAAAAD. Heart the colour co-ordination between the wheel & fork. Nice 1 Matt!

Owner: Matt
Bike: 80's chrome Repco HOTFOOT

Location: Preston

Another killer bike owned by Matt.

In cycling, the condition known as “hot foot” is a burning pain in the ball of the foot, perhaps radiating toward the toes. Severe cases feel like some sadistic demon is applying a blowtorch.

This is not that kind of Hotfoot though!

Repco have the trademark Hotfoot which is registered until 2014. Who knows, we might see a Hotfoot bike again one day.

Girl you got some nerve (no pun) showing this little beauty on Chaps. It was apple of my eye.
It takes me back to the days of Barbie Campervans, Banana Seats and West Coast Wine Coolers.

Colour coordination is this owners strong suite.

I'm sure this rider would look pretty damn cute.


NOT SO IMPRESSIVE

FRIDAY FUN

So, after last nights little adventures, I was feeling a little fragile at work this morning and after lunch this had just evolved in to sillyness.
My boss told me that I "had officially lost the plot".

So it was lovely to get this kick ass pick me up in the afternoon.

Thanks to my workmate Luke who sent through these pics of his friends bmx.

Bike: Hotness BMX
Location: In a grassy backyard somewhere
Owner: Tom

So this is the 1st pic that I opened. I thought, yeah it's rad. Classic. But you can tell from how shiny the sprocket is that it's a well loved bike.

THEN... I opened the second pic and this hotness appeared:
Wow wow wow. That's so hot.
Best bmx I have seen for a loooooooooooooong time.
Props Tom.

Thanks Luke!

SWAN DIVE


Bike: It's just nice.
Location: Coles Supermarket (Front), Swan Street, Richmond
Owner: TBC. Email us if this is YOU!


This totally caught my eye on lunch break today. I give props to classic bikes, nicely coordinated. Take this gem. Silver frame, Gold rims, and a hint of colour, Kermit green handle grips.

It also looks super nice from this angle.

A crafty deterent for would-be thiefs #H8You.



BEN FROST BMX

Bike: Chrome 20" BMX
Location: Ben Frost Exhibition Opening, Gorker Gallery, Fitzroy
Owner: TBC. Email us if this is YOU!

Such a gorgeous night last night in ol' Melbourne town. Loz and I booted over to "the other side of the Yarra" to peep the Ben Frost exhibition opening.
Out the front of the gallery was this cute lil sucker... was quite surprised that this would be the first fresh bike to catch my eye as Fitzroy is usually abundant with fixies and couriers pimpin Crumper bags.

Nice Chrome Job. TICK!


I need to invest in a bell or horn for my bike, STAT. Whenever its too many drinks past riding on the road and you need to tell peeps to get the fuck out of the way this would really come in handy. These days, I just like to vocalise it. "DING, DING, DING! My name is Sim! OUTTA DE WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY"

The basket says: "Although I have a BMX, I also value functuality" Notice how the grips match the chain:
Good Style. TICK!

Come to think of it, this bike could be like the cool lil sister of my bike. 'Cept my chain and grips are pink. Nice, nice.

Finally I would like to draw your attention to the crafty way this rider has fashioned the backlight. Whoever this person is, they would totally win if they ever went on Survivor.

GEORGIE & THE BIKE THAT BEAT ME

Location: Bendigo St, Richmond VIC
Bike: 20" Radius "Dreamin"
Owner: Georgie

This bike is hell fun to ride, it is a dead ringer for the 2nd bike that I ever called my own. Except mine had metallic streamers sprouting from the handlebars, yep I thought I was pretty fresh.
As it's a 20" you kinda have to ride it standing up at all times otherwise you bang your knees on the front fork, not so cool.

So here we were, fanging up and down Bendigo St. and having gained a little speed I decided to back peddle to steady myself on this beast. My BMX has a free wheel. This sucker has a back brake so after this genius move I slammed on the brake mid hoon and needless to say went ass over titt, straight over the handlebars. Oh Shit. It cained, and I still have scars to prove it. OUCH

Dreamin = 1, Sim = 0
