Some Stizuf

Ryan Smith just built up a new sample of his Mystic 09 frame! More on this next week. Here is his new ride! He says it rides smooth as ice!



Niki Croft has been shredding out in England. He sent this story over -
"so in England we aint as lucky as you fuckers in Austin with good weather, in effect it makes us more productive having to get on with it and build shit to ride during the cold, wet and windy winter (summer/spring/autumn) days. Realisng that a mini ramp aint gonna cut it throughout the dark times, stu let us improve the setup, this involved buidling a landing to 9ft quarter, sounds easy, trying building the landing twice! first time round we decided having a lading transiting the same as the mini ramps aint gonna happen and is far to steep, although building it was an achievement it wasnt gonna stick, turn the drills onto to reverse and start from scratch. After not looking in back issues of ride for ramp plans, Joe sucessfully built an amazing transition for the landing, And after Rogers' obscene idea of lifting a fully-built 9ft quarter up four inches with 2 car-jacks and my back we somehow formed a sturdy, solid quarter. everything in place ready to surface and for Stu to take the gold with the last victory screw, we somehow managed to build a pretty rad setup with the space we had, now lets fucking ride!!

Thanks to everyone who helped out with it aswell!"

Thanks to Roger for the photos -
