Places That Rock.....DONE

Yesssss. Places That Rock is off to the printers. A big thanks Nathan (Nattidity) Johnson from Blacklist Studio (blackliststudio.blogspot.com) for making it all look great and putting the pictures with the words in a very stylish way. He da man...although his hat and painted nails had us a bit freaked out.

Anyhow, how's this for stats:

48 Places that Rock

100 Pages

17 full detailed topographic maps

1 kick ass magazine.

Inside is all the information you could possibly need to ride some great new trails Australia wide. Take your mag, grab your bike and go runch some fresh terrain! Awesome. It'll hit the stands just before Christmas, so keep your eyes peeled.

PTR so close we can taste it!

The Places That Rock Special Edition is just about set to head off on it's mystical journey through digital land to the printers! It's a huge, and comprehensive, must-have magazine: 50 of the best destinations across Australia and NZ, including detailed topographic maps, and all the info you could possibly need. Every ride is graded according to fitness level, technical ability needed and riding style, so you can pick the perfect ride for you and your mates.

It'll be on shelves just before Christmas, so make sure you grab a copy or two, they'd make a great Christmas stocking filler for your riding mates.

Runch on people, runch on! Happy silly season to you all!

Filming the how-to DVD.

The second shooting of the AMB DVD was shot during the week, covering all sorts of descending, climbing, and cornering techniques. Chris' demonstration of his trademark 'wheelie drop to head slap elbow and knee grind' will not make the DVD unfortunately. But wow it was funny!

Whats up doids?

Good times. Welcome December, welcome summer.

We've been busy putting together the next mag, testing, and shooting new cool stuff. And compiling stories and bike tests. Check out how many bikes we fit in Chris' little red van! All the long term test bikes are now in and ready to runch.

Get envious everyone!
