Last weekend the Tunnel Jam was held on a secret location somewhere in the UK. Top riders were flown in to be part of it and a total of ten teams of four riders ended up competing. On the winning team was Mirraco rider Maxime Charveron. He had Dennis Enarson, Bommel and Garrett Reynolds as team mates. Sure that helps. Anyway, congrats to Maxime for the win.

Maxime Charveron from France got himself a new sponsor: G-Shock watches. The first full page ad appeared in the September-October issue of Cream magazine that you can see below.

Oliver Henrion had a question on the rear hub of a Blend 16 bike and sent in a few photos of his son Finn riding at the local park. From the looks of it 6 years old Finn is getting rad on his Mirraco bike.

But Finn has some competition coming, his three year old brother Stian just got a Mirraco Apprentice 12 last Saturday. Just give him a couple of years....

Thanks for the support guys! Ride on.

During the Interbike show in Las Vegas Vital BMX did a little clip on Lenny Westfall's new bike. Lenny goes through all the new parts on his green and purple ride. To see the movie, hit the following link:

Although there was no specific Mirraco booth at the 2009 Interbike show in Las Vegas you still had a chance to see a 2010 Blend model (at the SST booth) and run into the Mirraco staff. Maybe you also got a chance to talk to Nigel Sylvester and Dave Mirra who were in town as well. Anyway, Interbike 2009 is now over. Be on the lookout for a new website that will show the complete 2010 range soon.

In the meantime you can visit a Mirraco dealer and grab a 2010 catalog/poster to see what will be coming very soon. With a bit of luck they will have some new models on the shop floor already.

Enjoy this new Nigel Sylvester Nike 6.0 commercial. Are there really two Nigels? Does he have a twin brother or does the clip involve some trick editing? What's your guess?

It takes some effort to keep up with all the communication possibilities today. Sure we have a website, but that is not always enough. We've been running a Mirraco Myspace account, we've got a profile on Vital BMX, a Twitter account, Freecaster video channel, and just recently we added a Facebook profile to the Mirraco network.

We're just making sure that you receive the message, no matter what form of communication you're using.

The high altitude Dew Tour stop in SLC took place in the heat. It was rough on the riders and pulling a 60 second run together was a task on its own. Staying on doing your thing was a challenge and Dave Mirra's first run fell apart making his second run an important one. Dave held on during that run and scored 6th place points which puts him in second place in the standings going into the final Dew Tour stop in Florida.

Alessandro Barbero, Andrew Buckworth, and Ryan Guettler were not the luckiest riders today during the Park qualifying competition in Salt Lake City. Neither one of them transferred to the finals. Even Austin Coleman could not take his Mirraco bike to the main event. This leaves Dave Mirra representing the brand by himself tomorrow.

So we have not only changed things up this year with the street bikes. We have completely redone the whole line with plenty of help from Dave Mirra, Nigel Sylvester, Ryan Guettler and all the other team riders! Now available the Fivestar, Icon, Gargoyle and Mainline are hitting dealer’s floors across the US. These bikes Range from a low $309 to $489 with the Mainline model.

The base model Icon and Fivestar bikes are perfect for the younger rider looking for a bike they fit on and can go shred with all the components necessary. These bikes feature CRMO top and down tubes and CRMO fork legs to shed weight and improve strength. They also come with 3pc cranks and some awesome paintjobs!



The Gargoyle is our $349 price point bike that features a 5-tube CRMO frame with a sealed MID BB and 3pc CRMO cranks. This bike has plastic pedals, 8” tall bars and comes with a 28x10t gear ratio which makes it an awesome bike for any rider looking to hit up the trails for a long day or just to ride the local park!

One of our higher end bikes, the Mainline is Harry Main’s design! This bike retails at $489 and has all the specs to back it up, not to mention the sick colors it comes in. This bike has a full CRMO frame, fork and bars. The frame features a 20.4” TT and has compact 13.25” rear end. This enables the rider to spin, flip and manual easier and also offers the younger rider a high end complete bike that will fit them great! Having double walls rims, a sealed headset and MID BB with a pivotal seat combo make this bike one of the most affordable/dialed bikes on the market for any rider.



Make sure you don’t miss out on checking out all of these and more on our fully revamped website coming soon!
