Welcome to the 4th edition of Any Given Sunday - Inline
Email Newsletter.
Yeah what a month again! I was offered a job in Manchester
England for 3 mths working as the Transport Operations
Manager at the Atheletes village for the Commonwealth
Games. Cool huh!
Well that means we will still run a July edition of the
newsletter but August will definately be postponed. So
we will back on the first Sunday in September. I will
still be on email and will keep my nose to the ground.
It will be interesting to check out the UK skate scene. |

It's hotting up in the entry camp....we had a massive
entry of 2 people this month. I was told the other day
of about 3 people waiting for the Fiziks frames as a prize.
I actually received them on Thursday but will tell you
more bout that later.
This
months winning entry comes from a Batemans Bay crew (south
coast NSW for all you interstaters) They sent in 3 pics
and this is the one I liked the best. Nice form...shows
the bumper sticker well....and ummmm I just have a thing
for fish eye lenses.
....hehe I got the entry from Paul Wicke and I don't
know if thats him in the pic or if he took it...either
way he wins a copy of VG19 and a Senate
Lanyard. Big thanks this month to the Senate/VG
distributors here in Australia....YOU KNOW WHO YOU
ARE! (hope you give birth to a big healthy inline
skater Lisa....best wishes from the 18Zero camp)

Mindgame is finally coming to Australia with
the first full shipment of gear being distributed in August.
Apprantly they will have their Ti Bearing here by the
end of this month...as seen in the current copy of Daily
Bread and then all the clothes, wheels, backpacks etc
will be here around August. Tell your local shop to email
me at contact@18zero.com
and I will pass on the distributors details.
Senate have released some new clothes from the 2002 Spring
range. There is a couple of long sleeve t's and some cool
baseball shirts as well as a limited edition ASN Me Kill
Team Backpack...check it all out at your local shop NOW!
ps....I still hold the reversable hoody as my favourite
Senate item.
Fiziks sent me 2 pairs of their frames....one pair will
become a prize and the other pair will be used to show
as many people as possible about the frames. While I am
away I will ensure that there is a 18Zero rep somewhere
around the place showing kids the frames. Hopefully the
Fiziks frames will be retailing in Australia soon. A big
thanx to Erin for organising this for me... |
check out the www.fiziks.com
website to learn about the frames....i really don't think
I could explain it properly, except to say they are like
a suspension frame.

IMYTA #3 is now available and you should
also check out the TEK vid. We all watched
it over our place the other day after a Road
Kill "re-visited" session and they
are both great vids.
Apparantly the Mindgame guys are busy
working on a new vid as well and we will keep
you
posted on that one.
I watched the Be-Mag video "Visual
Symphony" the other day...seems a
bit short but is another good one to add to
your collection....after all you can never
have enough videos.
On this subject...there are a number of videographers
here in Oz who works their butts of to produce
good local vids for you guys to watch. Dont
destroy it all by copying the vids for all
your buds....its not like they are that expensive
and you need to support skaters doing stuff
for other skaters. |
