- Team Young is also hosting a Halloween party, but theirs will go down this weekend. Check teamyoungbmx.com for more info.

- Nat Pow's Jam video...

- I edited a short video with the footage from Nate's jam that went down a few weeks ago. It's been posted at RideBMX.com. Check it out.

- Riding in Dayton has gotten pretty difficult lately. If you don't recall, a few days ago I made a post about Casey and Tony getting tickets for riding downtown. Well there is hope now... Dayton is building a skatepark! But we need everyone's help. There are already a few skateparks in the greater Dayton area with rules against bikes, we really don't want this to be another one of those parks. So we've gotta let the skatepark committee know that there are bikers out there that want to ride this thing. So here's what you do... send an email to the Dayton' Mayor's office at Rashella.lavender@cityofdayton.org, and simply tell them that you ride BMX and that you're very interested in a free concrete skatepark in Dayton. I will be really bummed if another skatepark goes up in the Dayton area and bikes aren't allowed in, especially considering how ticket happy cops seem to be lately.
Also, a myspace profile for the Dayton Skatepark Committee has been created. Be sure to add it as a friend. They also have a petition that you can cut and paste and print out in order to do your own petitioning. The only way bikes will be allowed is if they know we want in. That's what has happened with parks in the past, bikers didn't show enough interest during planning and they were excluded in the end. DON'T LET THAT HAPPEN THIS TIME!
One more thing, please, please, please, don't write any emails with an attitude. I know the whole bikes not allowed in skateparks thing sucks and it's a lame rule, but they're not going to want to listen to a bunch of punks, especially if their inbox is flooded with messages from a bunch of salty little bastards. So please, keep the messages short and sweet, and above all, polite. If you want a hassle free place to ride, it's up to you... Thank you for taking the time to do this.

- If you haven't seen FitLife yet, be sure to pick up a copy and check it out. As can be expected, the Fit team throws down some pretty serious tricks. I think the highlights for me were Chase DeHart, Mike Aitken, Van Homan, Ed/Tom split, and BF (who is still shreddin' hard). And thats a good portion of the video, so check it out. Also be sure to catch some footage of the PerspectivesBMX crew featured in the bonus.

- Add Ryan Howard to the injured list. He follows Troy's lead and gave himself a concussion and broken nose while in Louisville last weekend. Now you know where the title of the video came from, in case you didn't get it before. Everybody is "Goin' For Broke"...



The tapes are piling up...


manual the first 3 ledges to nose manual the last, Casey Longshore.

- There is going to be a contest at the re-designed Four Seasons Skatepark in Milwaukee on December 2nd. Check the flyer below or midwestbmx.net for more info.



- The Flow has a new website up and running at ridetheflow.com. They've got some good pictures of the new park design on there, and don't forget about the Dirty East contest coming up in November.

- Troy can't update quite yet, so I put the Interbike photos up for him. Sorry for the delay...

- Don't Quite Your Day Job: Part II...

- Casey Longshore and Tony Cherry got busted hard for riding street in downtown Dayton lastnight. They were cited for no brakes, riding on the sidewalk, no lights, and get this, no bell. All for a grand sum of about $220 that they'll each have to pay in fines.
In other Season news, Cory Jarman has signed on for the 2007 team. He should be joining Casey, Gremlin, and Eben Fischer on a trip to Germany to shoot for the next Season video, due out late 2007.



This is what Season didn't premiere at Interbike... the Tony Cherry Signature Series bell.

- The Season boys are back from Interbike. Troy Merkle broke his nose while riding street in Vegas. He'll also be helping out with site updates in the future. So keep an eye out for his Interbike update.
