deleted post....though it was a serious question. My mistake...

Young movie maker Lachlan Ryan put together a video of and about J9 to enter into a competition. I reckon it's a cool look at what we all do. He captured a great overall feel, the average punter would probably enjoy it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5GP9FLTUJbw

Hi guys! Hey Janine is off the world champs in Andorra and any help she can get makes it all happen. She has entered her latest video, 'Trial and Error', in a competition and if she receives the most votes she can win some much needed money that goes straight to her trip fund. So if you feel inclined to help her out could you please give her a "thumbs up" (icon next to the vid). Thanks in advance, Cam Here's the link to the competition page. http://www.visioningtheoutdoors.com/peoples-choice/peoples-choice-film/

Drei really is riding well at the moment, I hope he stays un-injured and gets stuck into the comps.

There has been a noticable rise in the standard of riding in the feminine class over the last few years, and there are some exciting young women athletes competing internationally. Many we don't really know a lot about as there is very little media from them, or they have such a hectic competition and training/work/study schedule that they kind of fly under the radar. I recently spent some time with Gemma Abant when she came to Australia for a holiday. As a follower of the sport and part time bike trial coach, it was a fantastic opportunity to spend time with an athlete that has put in years of dedication to the sport they love. Gemma has reaped the rewards of those efforts and remained humble and approachable. I had the privilege of riding with her and getting to know the person as she shared some of her riding history with me. I also watched her training, and could see the pleasure she got from doing what she loves the most.... riding trials. I was in Saalfelden (Austria 2012) to see her clinch her tenth world title under quite trying circumstance. I watched her closely during the competition and it is impossible to have anything but respect for the concentration, strength of character and sheer determination it took for her to win that world championship, I can't imagine what it's taken to win ten! This shy, diminuative young woman has an inner strength that stunned me, and like so many of the great competitors in sport, she is never truely satisfied with her achievements. Morg and I grabbed a camera and took some random footage of Gem when she was training on our back yard junk pile. It is quite different to the obstacles she normally rides and in the beginning a few moves gave her some trouble, but the professional rider came out straight away and the change in her was obvious. The concentration was turned up a to 10 and her determination to 11! I learned over a few weeks that it didn't matter what she applied herself to, Gemma immersed herself into it 100% - work, riding.... even dinner! We gave the footage to Gemma and she put together a video to remember her time here in Brisbane. I hope you enjoy watching her play. Cam https://vimeo.com/62805570

Jack, Le, Borys, Morg, J9, Joel and Tim Mulally from Expressive bikes. Really cool place to ride and holiday

Awesome!!! 10/10

I made a couple of A frames a while ago for Morg and J9 to train on. They adjust so that you can make them more/less vertical. With a small tweak I managed to join the two frames to make a wall for practicing hooks. They assemble in under 3 mins and separate easily to pack up flat .. excellent for storage. J9 playing on them

Guys from Tribalzine did a nice interview with J9 recently. Lots of pics and a bit of vid with us racing the Z50's J9 @ Tribalzine

Nate flew up from Melbourne to train for 4 weeks in Bris with Morg. The first vid is Morg and Nate training (hungover) after Morg's 21st. The second vid is Morg and J9 training at Karawatha forest on the south side of Brisbane. Sandy soil with large granite bolders. Pretty cool for trying bigger moves. Morg has only just started riding 26 as he built the Meta up for Christmas, b ut he's starting to get used to it.

Danni church came along to recent training session and took some pics of J9 training. We put together a short vid... the full version will be finished soon. Just getting a little more footage. She's loving the new Silver Sky. really suits her. Vid is here http://www.vimeo.com/11986702

Nice vid. Excellent training ground. What bars and stem are you using?

Amazing as always!

Bit of a vid put together by the photographer of the pics in motordrive form. Interesting, a bit like stop motion...

Some excellent facial expressions! Great shots.

Couple more that I thought were pretty good.

hahahahaha yeah we've got heaps of that! Still pretty dismal over there?

A good mate Danni Church is trying to improve her skills with action photography. She came out to one of Morg's training sessions and took a few snaps. Some of them turned out pretty good and she seemed to capture the moment. Bloody hot day, started at 8am but was absolutely cooking by mid day.

Morg has been mucking around with his gap to rear technique. Took some vid today, and compared it to the vid from 2 weeks ago. Amazing difference in speed in just two weeks! http://vimeo.com/8860461

Fast work Tim! It was a fantastic finish to an excellent event, big ups to Stu for setting great sections . Ride offs always have a little tension for rider and audience, and this one didn't let us down. Nice to see someone captured it.

Yeah the video is fantastic, but to see him ride on the weekend was awesome. Great guy and a brilliant rider/competitor.
