Mike Spinner: Well last week I just got back from Vegas where I had ton of fun. Rode a bunch of skateparks I had never been to before, that was awsome. Stayed in some really nice hotels. LAS VEGAS IS just awesome, the atmosphere is 24-7 poppin’. Other than that, vitalbmx.com just put up an interview that is pretty funny.

Mike Laird: Got an 80 gb ipod video (black) for X-mas, I had shrimp for dinner two nights ago, playing SOCOM fireteam bravo 2 online for the PSP almost every night (EyesOfTheDead my screen name). Been working on ramps for the JC park (Greenville), I’ve been riding Mirra’s half finished new bikepark ……a
lot. (P.s Laird just broke both hands trying to flip a cement bank on street. A broken finger on his left hand and a bone broken in his right hand. He goes into surgery tomorrow. Get well soon Mike…. love, Gator, lol……)

Dave Rytell: The new noise is that I am back on my bike again. My wrist is way better and I just got done filming a video for vitalbmx. It should be up pretty soon. And I have no phone because I am a broke bitch hahaha..

Mike Cleveland: I had a good Christmas, I got to hang out with my mom all day on christmas eve. Did the whole X-mas thing with my family on Christmas, then the fun began. The day after Christmas, myself and 4 of my friends drove up to Colorado to hang out with one of our really good friends. We got to go snowboarding a bunch and I slid a whole grind rail on a little plastic sled that we found in the bushes. This trip was really good because it was nice to get out of town for a little while and hang out with some really good friends.

Nigel: If you’re out there, hit your bot back with some news……

Ryan Guetler: Ryan has been busy riding with the locals in Australia and enjoying the warm weather. He also just got back from a camping trip on the New Year.

Dave Mirra: Just got back from New York from the New year. I was on the phone with him earlier and all we could talk about was the big plans for ‘07. So keep your eyes open…..

Gator: I just got back from West Palm Beach. The holidays were good and the family is still kickin. LOL…. I went to a new Years party at Nyquist’s house. I also finally got a New Years kiss by Jen, and it was sweet. Besides that, just been riding and thinking about new things for Mirra Co. in ‘07.

P.S Happy New Year from all of us at Mirra Co……
