The Mirraco Bike Company is going to have some poker games going on at their booth in Las Vegas. Do you feel like playing poker with Dave Mirra, Mike Spinner or Ryan Guettler? This is your chance. Here is some info about the Mirraco booth that will be set up at Interbike next week. Interbike booth number: 5945 Have you decided to be part of the BMX zone this year and why? Yes, because freestyle BMX bikes are the only kind of bikes we produce. What new products are you bringing to Las Vegas that people need to check out? A new street model called the Wallstreet and the new Black Pearl 18. Any special activities going on at the booth during the show? Celebrity poker games featuring Dave Mirra, Ryan Guettler, Mike Spinner, and others. How many people are going to help out in your booth during the show? Probably too many for the size of the booth, but at least dealers will get great service if they stop by. Are you actually taking orders at the show or is it more to show products to the dealers and get contacts? Show and tell is nice, but orders pay the bills. We’ll always take an order if someone is ready to make a commitment to the Mirraco brand. Are any of your riders coming to Interbike? Most of our riders will be at the show. Would you think a contest at Interbike would be a good idea since loads of people (industry/riders/media) are there already? Yes and no. It would be good for retailers to see a contest live and in person, but it might also distract them from getting business done. What party are you looking forward to? Just the ones with free drinks. What would make the 2008 edition of Interbike a success for you? Sign up some new dealers, sell some bikes, win some money, and escape hangover free.

For the first time the 2009 Mirraco complete bikes were presented at the Eurobike show in Germany last week. La Finca had a booth full of Mirraco bikes ranging from Black Pearls, Fivestars, Icons, Blends and bikes from the Apprentice series. The booth was crowded at all times and especially the Black Pearl Limited drew attention as it was based on top of the box in the corner of the booth. With its neon-black color scheme it was hard to miss. Contact La Finca for more info.

For 2009 we have worked on some new seat designs that you can find on the 2009 Mirraco complete bike line. Some are pivotal, some have rails and they fit the color scheme of the bikes really well. Not that seats get used all too much these days but the time has not arrived that riders are going seat-less. Ask your local Mirraco dealer about the M3 parts line.        

Now most magazines give away T-shirts and parts in competitions but 2020 magazine stepped it up, in cooperation with Mirraco Australia, by giving away a Mirraco Black Pearl Limited complete bike! Shane Vesper is one very lucky guy to receive this bike and he will be enjoying the ride without a doubt. Learn more about 2020 magazine by going HERE.

Not everyone has the opportunity to ride their own bike at their own skatepark. When you are young, you can use some help. Jens Wittmann and his crew set up a day for the kids to learn how to ride and how to skate. 20 kids in the age of 7 - 14 showed up last weekend in Dessau, Germany and received tips from the pros and got to use proper bicycles and safety gear. They all went home stoked and the next meeting has already been planned.

German Mirraco distributor La Finca have teamed up with Zwanzig Zoll BMX magazine for a New Subscription give-away. Each new subscriber to Zwanzig Zoll that fills in the form, that is on page 57 of their current issue, has the chance to win a Mirraco Black Pearl 2 complete bike. Costs for a subscription are only 10 Euros for 4 issues including postage. It is like entering a lottery where you will receive four issues of Zwanzig Zoll plus you have a chance to win a brand new Mirraco bike. For full details check out their website: www.zwanzig-zoll.de

Not only Ryan Guettler made it in the August/September issue of Cream but Dave Mirra, Nigel Sylvester, Mike Spinner and Maxime Charveron as well. We can use the love over there in France and it is always nice to get some. Thanks to Cream. Here are a few copies of the photos of issue number twenty nine.
