Wallace 2nd Lords Of Dirt
We've just heard that Wallace took 2nd place (after qualifying 1st) at the Lords of Dirt in France this weekend. Ben only got 2 runs in after busting some spokes & thus ended up down on points (3 runs counted), 1st place went to 'Mad-Bob' Manchester.
In one of Bens runs, he landed 2 triple whips tricking the 1st & the last. Ben also won best trick landing a 360 lookback to downside whip a world 1st in a competition (so that's 2 world 1st in 2 weekends, it seems Ben is on fire at the moment). This won him a snazzy (lol) pitbike for his efforts. More info/pictures when i have them. out.
here is a vid i found taken by RL there is a very short clip of Ben at the end falling off his new pit bike http://www.vimeo.com/6143579

Larry Lamotey Whip Fufuna - Boardmasters!!
Thanks to Toby who put this up on youtube for me, it's a bit short cus his battery ran out
If you have been wondering where Cam hardy is & what he's been up to, he's been digging some local trails..& he has a digger. A new edit is on the way soon & that is all i have to say for now..
Hey, if you haven't already seen it, here is the fakie double whip air from the Relentless boardmasters in Newquay last weekend. Well done to Ben who was on top form shredding into 1st place for both qualifying & finals & then nailing best trick. Ryan Taylor also had a great weekend qualifying 5th & finishing 7th overall. Larry Lamotey also pulled a whip fu-funa to the back rail of a very scary 8ft ramp in best trick & won himself an x-box 360 - shweeeet
I also put together the following lil' edit of mostly Ryan & Ben during the comp with a few snippets to give you an idea of what the atmosphere was like (awesome).
Complete is named
Finally after much deliberation, the Amity Complete bike has been named 'Amity Zenta' naming these things is hard work lol, it's only taken 6 months...how long is it going to take when we have a full line up of completes????
