Javier Ortega has been shredding Austin lately. Chris Hallman took some pics for the new Fly Bikes print advertisement. His exploits around town and at the Empire ramp have also been caught on video by Tom Arkus of Vinyl BMX and can be seen below. It's funny I ride by this all the time and never thought of that...
I met Jay and Neil when they were in Austin last summer on holiday. Both these guys were so fucking cool and just destroyed any spots we hit. I remember Jay eyeing up the Jefferson ledge for a minute then proceeding to go full speed at it, bunny hop up the curb, hop up the hubba ledge to tailwhip off... first try. I'm sure you'll be seeing a lot more of Formby Jay soon as well. He's got a new ad in the current RideUK and then there's this video which is pretty mellow but sweet.

Terrible One is having a fakie air contest at the T-1 ramp on Saturday, Feb. 2nd. The ramp opens at 1pm... see you there!
Saturday Dec. 15th - Man I totally forgot to post this. If you are anywhere within 300 miles of Austin you should definitely be at this. It's a huge jam being held at the T-1 ramp with all proceeds going to Jimmy Levan's medical bills. There will be bands, a high air contest, art to buy, and good times to be had.
