ISSUE 07 AGS | OCTOBER 2002 | PHOTO EDITION
Its October.....which means this is our first ever Photo Edition...
We had a heap of pics sent to us this last month because we have some awesome prizes. This month we are giving away a set of Fiziks Frames + a couple of brand new Kizer T-shirts.

I have kept all the mumbo jumbo bull shit to a minimum so you could all just sit back and enjoy the pic contributions. However you will find snippets of information around the place...so you do need to read on.

Big news for this edition is that with the help of Rebel Distribution in the U.S., this little old newsletter will now be circulating to over 10,000 skaters in America, plus the countless Aussies that get it.

Hope you enjoy this edition of Any Given Sunday, and of course a big thankyou to all the contributors...

Planet XWell the only fresh news from them that really matters to us, is that there is finally a date and location set for the NSW X-Trials and the National Eliminator.

The venue is Alive! SK8, home of this years nationals. The park is located at 155 Smeaton Grange Rd Narellan, heaps of parking and tonnes of food around the place. The NSW trials will be held on Saturday 30th November and then the Eliminators will be Sunday 1st December. Planet X are shipping in their Vert ramp so you need to make plans to be there for the whole weekend......camp in the car park.....sweet.

The trials in Melbourne were postponed due to weather problems and will be re-scheduled...keep your eyes on either www.planetx.net.au <http://www.planetx.net.au> or the news section at www.rollerblading.com.au <http://www.rollerblading.com.au

EWW2 - Battle of the Gong

Huge Prize Packs for 1st, 2nd and 3rd plus finalists donated by Mindgame / Manly Blades / 32#1#6 Productions / Darxyde Divisions / 18zero / Alive Sk8 / Fluid Productions / Best Trick of the Day - prize donated by Bondi Boards & Blades

COMPS - cont.
I was down in Melbourne this past weekend, visiting a few shops and people, and managed to get myself to the Free-Style comp that Tim Ward and the Melbourne Skate Crew boys put on. I was actually planning on heading back home Sunday but Josh Clarke hooked me on the phone and promised some big things....so on that promise I went! Of course I first of all had to pick up Sydney ex-pat Adam Diakowsky and his mad Russian mate from St Kilda, which meant the nice Sunday morning traffic led us to miss the first 2 spots. But all was good as the third spot made up for it.

Josh went wild eventually taking out the comp and there was heaps of variety including some kick ass car tows, up a nice little lane way that was perfectly positioned for tricks a plenty. Well done Tim on organising a great day, there were spot prizes and a good turn up of onlookers......a big shout out to the security guard at spot 3 who got out of his car, walked up to watch Josh fly off the side of a car over the gap, lit up a ciggy then turned his back and walked away. Now that's the type of security we like! Check out www.melbourneskatecrew.com <http://www.melbourneskatecrew.com>


That's all I have to say on anything this month, the rest is up to you to enjoy. Check out these pics and decide who you think should win. Tom Hyser from Fiziks will be picking the winner and we will email out to all of you who the winner is as soon as he makes his decision. So basically sit back and enjoy the latest from around Australia and thank you to all of the contributors.

THE FINAL WORD

From 18Zero - Our aim is to make Any Given Sunday a powerful information source for skaters around the world and in particular Australia. We want to form links where the chain is broken, we want to represent the skaters and ensure the information you receive about products, comps etc is always fresh and accurate. We will put in the hard yards to get you prizes and special deals so that you will always have a chance to win something, no matter what your age or ability is. We will continue to fight beauracracies that tear the sport apart. We will always support comps and competition organisers no matter whether it is a 'real street' comp or a local park comp, we will offer our assistance to any one in the industry who is interested in growing the sport of inline skating and will ensure that the best interest of the skaters, is front of mind of anyone who enters this domain. - That is our promise!

Remember... Skate hard, play fair >> Peace. >> I'll be watching...
