Ryan Guettler is over at the JoMo Pro contest this weekend. The good vibe of the contest that has done its rounds has brought a whole lot of BMX Pros to the park for the third edition of the contest. It is Ryan Guettler’s first time at JoMo pro and he arrived 3 days early. The extra time was needed getting used to the park which has hundreds of lines.

Here is a movie which has an interview with Ryan in it, straight from JoMo Pro.

19 year old Drew Hosselton from Phoenix, Arizona is on the Mirraco flow program. Smoker Dave writes some good things about Drew in the Bio that he received in the latest Transworld RIDEBMX magazine (May 2008).

Next time you see Drew, ask him to do a Kermit the Frog impression.

Our friends at RIDEBMX recently posted the Mirraco parts line on their website. It shows the 2008 Mirraco frames (Chocolate, Blend Lite, Black Pearl Lite, Fivestar Lite), Black Label forks, M3 Gas pedals, Behind Bars, M3 seats, and the M3 sprocket.

Go check it!

RIDE UK BMX MAG number 113 hit the newsstands and it has a Mirraco Blend 2 bike review as well as the M3 Forks and Gas pedals in the product section. Ryan Guettler gets a double page spread where his signature Whip shoe is featured in a VANS advertisement.

M3 Black Label forks: Dave’s little garage company (ha……yeah, right) have just released a plethora of aftermarket parts to back up their amazing complete bike range: The Mirraco Black Label Forks feature 5 mm dropouts, fully heat treated double butted cromoly legs, one-piece CNC machined steerer tube, milled-out dropouts, and they weigh 2.2lb. The raw sandblast colourway is also impressive.

On the M3 Gas Pedal RIDE wrote:  These are high quality pedals, they feel perfect.

Blend 2 review: RIDE sums it up like this: Overall, it’s pretty hard to pick fault with this bike at this price point - it’s right on the money. After all, would you want to argue with Dave? Go ahead. Be my guest.

Mike Spinner has been “Chillin’” over at Woodward camp. Last night Tom Stober decided to film a session and if you ride like this on a daily basis, you know you’ve put your ground work in. Spinner threw an invert in the smooth 720 and also pulled his first 1080 over the box at Woodward (East).

See double tailwhip footjams, lots of backwards manuals to 360-s, and more tech riding by Mike. The session they filmed was only 30 minutes long. How long would it take for Mike to finish a video part?

Watch it!

Airing Friday, February 22, at 9:00 pm Eastern Time (6:00 pm Pacific Time) and telecast three additional times, Ryan Guettler will appear on The Daily Habit. Today’s show is too hot to handle with guest host Chris Pastras steaming up the habit. Plus, he’s a power house on the dirt and in the park, BMX ripper Ryan Guettler is back in the studio.

And, Pinback is on the Habit with their relaxing, melodic sounds – just kidding, they’re going to blow out your ears and minds. Also, Jordan Morris gets a rematch with Jack Black.

Ryan Guettler’s sponsors include: MirraCo, Vans, Alpinestars, Monster energy drink, Colony Parts, Boost Mobile, Pro-Tec Helmets, and Kicker Speakers.

Magazine overload this week! This one is from England and goes by the name of RIDE. Jean Marie Baertsch gets a vert photo from the X-Games in Dubai. The caption reads; Eastern Europe Style, but JMB is from Switzerland but the style is hot.

Nigel Sylvester gets a photo from a night session and both him and Rob Wise received an awesome sequence. Nigel is doing a barspin to smith grind to barspin out where Rob finds a new way to grind a rail at Matt Beringer’s backyard.; quarterpipe to backwards rail grind to hard - 180 - out. RIDE BMX #112. Try to find it.

Talented on the bike but also talented behind the lens. Ryan Guettler has been collecting work for his portfolio and the cover of the latest Session magazine will fit in there nicely. Ryan shot many more photos in the mag including the TOC and a couple of full pages in the photo section.

The mag also runs a photo of Dave Mirra from the Dew Tour stop in Orlando and the Session crew stopped by the Mirraco booth at Interbike to check out the latest Mirraco bikes and product. The January/February issue should be available at a bookstore near you. www.sessionbmxmag.com

Today the vert prelims took place at the Dubai X-Games. You can imagine the heat that was going on in the desert but some riders are stuck in the cold at home so there are little complaints about the sunshine over there. Swiss Mirraco rider Jean-Marie Baertsch rode vert and qualified in 6th. He wasn’t too stoked on his riding but he was riding smooth indeed and thinking that he was off the bike since the summer due to a broken leg, he was doing really well. Simon Tabron won prelims and shoots staight to tomorrow’s final.

Nigel Sylvester and Maxime Charveron worked with the heat in street practice. Prelims for them starts tomorrow too and we’ll post right here what that brings. The course is pretty street with loads of rails and flatbanks making Nigel feel at home at least a little bit. Nigel riding at the X-Games, who would have thought…..

Stay tuned.
