Barbero wins FISE Experience La Plagne stop.

If you think these FISE experience stops are easy, I can tell you that the guy in second place does triple whips and opposite double whips with ease. Alessandro Barbero cannot cruise to a win by any means but he managed to pull off one more in La Plagne, France. With the brand new FIAT car on the line at the end of the series Ale did some good business last weekend. Congrats.

Harry Main / Jeremiah Session @ Woodward

No, Harry Main isn't riding already but he's itching to get back on the bike. He just needs to be patient before he hops on the bike again after he terribly broke his leg in July of this year.

The following clip shows Harry riding with Jermiah Smith over at Woodward camp earlier in the year. Harry has some new tricks in his mind, maybe we'll see those when he gets back on the Mirraco. For now the movie:

Help! Austin Coleman's Bike stolen at Dew Tour.

Just imagine, you've ridden like crazy to be ready for a contest. You do all you have to do to get there, get a hotel, all that stuff. When you're ready for the comp, someone has stolen your bike. Yup, that is BAD news. It happened to Austin Coleman at the Dew Tour in Portland, Oregon yesterday and he needs his bike back. Mirraco is offering a Blend 1 for the person that gets Austin his bike back (no questions asked) before he has to ride.

He simply needs to compete and doing it on his own bike makes all the difference. Please help get Austin his bike back. If you know how to take it, you know how to take it back.

Mirraco Introduces All New Line of 2010 Bikes

The idea was to shake things up after three years of building the Mirraco brand. It’s an objective that required starting with a clean slate, a critical look at what we could do better, and ultimately, a ton of new models. The first of the new models are now ready to be introduced.

Heavily influenced by team rider Nigel Sylvester, the all new line of street bikes is now in stock. Three of the new models, including the EDit, Luxstar, and Gambino are now shipping to dealers in the US. Retail pricing starts in the low $300 range and will top out at $800 with the Chocolate model, scheduled for release in September.

All four street bikes are new from the ground up and feature street specific frames, 25/9 gearing, tall bars, sealed mid BBs, and plastic Pedals. Unlike the competition, even the base model EDit features CRMO top and down tubes and CRMO fork legs to shed weight and improve strength. The look is clean and simple.

New Nigel Nike ads

They're actually two separate pages but for the heck of it they're glued together for a post on the Mirraco site to show you the new NIKE 6.0 ads that they did with Nigel Sylvester. That's 2 more pages of Nigel in RIDEBMX this month. Sweet.

Austin Coleman bike check

Austin Coleman is a shredder. Not only at any park course, but on the vert ramp too. Austin lives in North Carolina, close enough to Dave Mirra for him to see that he was worthy a Mirraco frame. Austin's pick: The Blend.

RIDEBMX asked Mr. Coleman some questions about his ride:

Take me to the bike check!

An update by Ryan Guettler

What's up guys,

I've been super busy and it's about to get real crazy. I'm at X-games right now. The course is amazing, I can't wait.

Yesterday was a big day for me. It was the HB Nike 6.0 comp where I came away with 1st place. I'm so pumped! I really liked the course and the beach vibe and everything fell into place. Check out the video on ridebmx.com, it shows the 95.5 point run.

This week I'm also doing an ASA box jump comp which I already won one of early this year so I'll keep you posted on how everything goes this week.

On other news I just got twitter.com and facebook.com so come add me and follow what I'm up to. Also check out Colony because there's a sample of my new 2010 bars and forks on the site.

Well I'm off to practice X-games

Have fun

Ryan

New Nigel Sylvester Gatorade ad

Nigel Sylvester has been receiving some good love from his sponsor Gatorade lately. He did a little coast to coast Gatorade "Because I Grind" tour visiting some Mirraco dealers, threw a party and had Biz Markie on the decks, and also got the new ad which just showed up in the new BMX Plus! as well as RIDE BMX mags. In case you are wondering, it's an over 50-50 to crooked grind and yes that's the shop window of Format he is cleaning in the photo.

Guettler wins HB comp. Buckworth gets 3rd.

Three days of riding happened before the ten best riders made it to the finals on Sunday at the Nike 6.0 contest on the beach in Huntington Beach, California. The event was held during the US Open of Surfing which meant that the stands were full of people that happened to hang out at the beach. The scene so to say was good and the riding on the course was awesome as well.

In the finals Ryan Guettler pulled out all stops and won the comp, followed by Daniel Dhers and an impressive Andy Buckworth (3rd). A great weekend for the Mirraco riders. With the ASA Big Air Triples this week and the X-Games coming up this weekend we will see if it's possible for them to score another podium. Add Dave Mirra in the mix at the X-Games to better the chances of bringing home a medal. We'll keep you posted.

Andy Buckworth Mirraco ad in RIDEBMX

Andy Buckworth is turning heads on the BMX scene. The young Australian was added to the Mirraco team earlier in the year and got to do a photoshoot with Ryan Guettler back in Australia.

Then he flew over to Woodward Camp to get some riding done with everybody who lives up there. Next up was a trip to France for the FISE and another photo shoot.

The results of these photo sessions can be found in the new Mirraco inside cover spread in RIDE BMX magazine that just came out. But Andy hasn't stopped turning heads. Keep an eye out for that Aussie.

X Games 15 Los Angeles

Dave Mirra will be a busy man once again at the upcoming X-Games. Not only will Dave enter the BMX Park competition and also BMX Big Air, he will enter the Rally race in LA as well.

He will have to work out his practice schedule accordingly to get used to all these different terrains. Will he once again come home with some medals? Time will tell.

Ryan Guettler has been invited to ride BMX Park and also Harry Main got a spot but since he broke his ankle a couple of weeks ago he had to give up his spot to another rider. We'll keep you informed here on www.mirrabikeco.com.

Guettler not going Big In Bavaria

German Guettler fans are out of luck this weekend as Ryan has changed plans and won't be riding the big jumps in Munich but you can see him on the Beach in HB instead.

Not that he will be chillin' in the sun, there's a BMX contest going on during the US Open of Surfing event. In the days after the event Ryan plans on riding the ASA Big Air Triples event at the State Fair in Costa Mesa and will then proceed to the X-Games for practice and the SuperPark comp.

Busy week for Mr. Guettler indeed.

Cream Magazine # 34. Cover for Buckworth!

It's always nice to get a cover. When it happens on your first trip to Europe that's a bonus. It's fine if it's a cover of a French BMX magazine too so you won't hear Andy Buckworth complain one bit. Actually, the French photographers had this spot in mind for a flair but up until Andy showed up, nobody had done it. It didn't take him long and he whipped a few out for everyone to get their angle. That's what's up!

The mag has a little Mirraco Trip report too with cool pics. Contact Cream to get your copy.

New NIKE ad for Maxime Charveron

Maxime Charveron is on a trip in Estonia somewhere probably being goofy as usual. Before that he did manage to shoot a new Nike 6.0 advertisement where he 180-bars off a decent set of stairs somewhere in France. This ad was placed on the inside cover spread of the new Cream.

Merci.

Harry Main on the mend.

Harry Main broke his leg and it couldn't have come at a worse time as he missed the World's in Germany and also will be out for the HB NIKE contest, the X-Games and a few rounds of the Dew Tour. But he has been operated upon and it's all uphill from here. 6-8 weeks before he is allowed to ride again. The folks at Vital did an injury update with him on their site.

Go HERE to read it.
