If you have been following Dave Mirra this year you have noticed that he changed bike colours a couple of times already and it is only April. He started off with the Brown-Blue combo that was a unique set up that lots of people liked. Then he changed to a white frame and ran purple parts.

That colour combo did only last a couple of weeks for Dave and he currently rides this dark grey - burgundy combo with lime green Duo grips.

After the Skate57 session at Hackettstown last night, we crashed hard to sleep…woke up and headed out towards Parsippany, NJ. to attend the Mirra Co. Jam @ Cycle Craft Bike Shop. They had a 5ft mini set up in the back and kids were shreddin it all morning non stop. I heard some people showed up at 6 a.m.! Those people won the farmers tan contest no doubt!

Later on in the morning, Dave Mirra rolls in! Everyone excited to meet him! I def. was beyond psyched. Mike Russell walked me over to introduce me to Dave..and ya know something…no matter how grown up you get, you never forget your idols..I was not ashamed to be a little bashful! Dave is the first person I ever seen boss a BMX bike on a old school video and the riding stuck in my head along with the name…It was def. a pleasure to hang out today with my top inspiration!

Towards the afternoon they started a little contest on the ramp, I just wanted to ride with my friends so I popped in that, kids were shreddin it and it made for a really good time!

Mike Fede won 500$ and a Blend 3 Mirra Co. frame…he was def. psyched because I talked him out of going to a contest today that we were expected to be at. I get a text message every 5 seconds saying thanks Al D. for making me go there today! haha…I love Fede Cent… Good job bro, you shredded it!

After the riding and prize handouts, Mirra signed some autographs and said thanks & goodbye to everyone for coming out!

I like to say thanks to Mike Russell, Dave Mirra, & Mirra Co. management for making it a great day! Check out the pictures & stay tuned for more action here on BMX Invasion.com!!!

Congrats once again to Mike Fede!!

Thanks again to Dave Mirra & Mirra Co.

Yo whats up guys this is Gator from the road on the Local Exposure Tour 4. We left about a week ago from North Carolina and landed in Albuquerque, New Mexico on Thursday. I then met up with Rob Wise and Mirra Co. sales manager Mike Russell and went out to ABC Bike Shop a local dealer. After Rob and I took a few laps around with custom bikes made by the mechanics it was time to meet up with everyone back at the hotel.

After a night of catching up with old friends and meeting a few new ones we hit the park up for the first demo where the locals owned the place. (Editors note: Chase Hawk goes really high and Dave Rytell will ride anything in his way and kill it.).

After a small photo session it was time to pack up and head to Mesa, Arizona. The second stop had about 300 kids on bikes and locals hucking it. One local that stood out was Jonny Stevens that actually ended up winning stop three. Stop 3 was my favorite stop so far. This park was on an Indian reservation and had dirt jumps that KC Badger built. Mike Laird foot jammed this 5 ft. subrail out of a 5 ft. quarter. Rob Wise and I had a good session on the dirt where later Rytell joined us.

You can catch extra photos on Vitalbmx. Well I am out, check back soon for more pics and crazy stories from L.E.T. 4.

PS: All of us here at Mirra Co. would like to send our condolences to all the victims and families at Virginia Tech.

Al D sent over a few photos of the session that took place last Friday at the Hackettstown park. Al teamed up with Mike Spinner and also Alessandro Barbero (Italy) who is back in the USA to ride at Woodward and have a good time before the contest season takes off in Europe.

Alessandro actually won the pre-FISE contest in Auron and also won the best trick contest there. It’s an indication that his ankle is doing better. Look out for a 6-page interview with Mr. Barbero in Disillusion Mag soon. For the time being the Italian is getting a lot of riding in and enjoying life over in the States.

Thanks to Al D for the photos.

Styles change quickly. When colours arrived back on the BMX scene, it made for interesting rides. The spray can business must have profited from it as it was no surprise to see multi coloured bikes on the ramps. Black-only is not the hottest thing at the moment, even not for the Mirraco Black Pearl.

Ryan Guettler likes to change things up. He took his signature Black Pearl and gave it a white with lime green custom look. Love it, or hate it. It’s what Ryan rides and it works for him. What’s next? We don’t know, it might be black-only when everyone has picked their own fruity colour. Styles change quickly.
