The CPSIA bmx petition

So I signed this awhile ago and i think its something that everyone who particapates in bmx should atleast take a look at. The new law basically states that any bike/bike part created for a bike with a wheel size 20" and under is required to be testes for lead paint. Now we all know bmx doesnt have nearly as much money as skateboarding or other sports so moneys tight and these tests are very expensive. And it seems largely unlikely to me that anyone, let alone a bike company, uses lead paint for anything anymore. So if you havent done so already please take a look at the petition and if you feel up to it sign it.

How other people get bent

Lets examine how the rest of the world gets bent.



Get Bent is a pop-punk band from New York and they really know how to get bent. The group is made of some ex-members of Potboiler and some other people and they also have a similar sound to Potboiler too. The demo r00lz and if your into bands like Red and Blue, The Ergs!, Lemuria, or even Stupid Party you might enjoy Get Bent.

Magic or music not your thing? Actually physical activity is? Well maybe you should literally get bent and try gymnastics. This sport could more than likely get you bent the most. Shit you could probably get more bent then a ferrarri in a a 400mph car reck!!




Or maybe your a reader? Well than Australia's got you covered with Bent Magazine! Each issue is chock full gay goodness that will bend that straight bone alittle queer. Stay bent!!

Filming in Newport News

On the day that is MLK a bunch of us decided to load up the cars and drive from Portsmouth to Newport News to get some filming done. Which went pretty solid; Mike got a nasty wallride 180 off a highway bank in, bryan got a hop 180 bar in on the bank as well, i busted my ass on a 180 and Quantez did a nice smooth breakless tire tap which was nice, MoMo charged the wall too.

Newport News has to be the most dead city I have ever stepped foot into, I could literally hear a pin drop. It was retarded; no cars driving on the streets, no people walking around, nothing but the wind wistling and tumble weeds blowing. But its got solid spots and cool people to ride with like this d00d kp who we met up with, over all a good day of riding.









heres a pic of mike and me, bryan will have more up soon.
