“Been working on some new tricks but my ten ton bike not making it easy.. i am running the front wheel,fork, stem and pegs you sent. and i took my off my old parts and give some of the other riders..my front end is still heavy but its a lot lighter than how it was. thanks again man..

other than that its great, dan seige is coming here this month, we are going to doing a demo at a show here in jamaica.”

It’s cool to see that some other pros are heading out Jamaica to shred, I wonder if it will become another Barcelona. I might have to seriously consider a trip down with my dad and my bike in the winter.

In the mean time I am collecting parts again for the second shipment so if you are interested in contributing email me at thetrailpimpathotmaildotcom with Selfless BMX as the subject line.

Currently I am accepting donations from the GTA area since it is the easiest for me but if you are really want to contribute outside of the GTA let me know and we can work it out.

Here is the latest video of A -wire shredding his backyard ramps:

It’s been about a week after my idea and I couldn’t be happier with how smoothly and quickly things are moving along.

I have been in contact with A-wire from the Krash Test Dummy Stunt Team on facebook almost daily and recently sent him a photo and some information on the parts I am sending off.

Macniel Lighter Bars
Odyssey Milk Bars
Odyssey 14mm Front wheel
Hoffman Stem
Mosh Stem
KHE Ti pegs
Industrial Steel Pegs
Profile Whippit sprocket.

He hit me back with these encouraging words:

thanks man,, these are awesome.. no matter how small it is it will go a long way..

I hope to get them boxed up within this week and send them out before I head off to Jamaica. I am probably going to package in some shirts and stickers with the parts as well.

I am going to ask for some shots of the parts being used in return to throw up here and just help me get more pumped to send more.

In the mean time here are some cool shots A has been sharing with me.

Chillin with Travis Pastrana

Bunny hop contest, on grass legit.

And finally they have some team members in this music video

Stay tuned for more updates… I am off to get some much needed sleep.
