Wild Fires Down Under: Info from Ryan Guettler
Ryan Guettler has spent the last few months in Australia touring with Colony and hitting the contest scene, and he let us know about the BMX situation with the fires near Melbourne.
As some of you might know, Australia has suffered through some major wild fires. The fires have destroyed many homes and lives down under. Many of the homes hit by the fires are those of your fellow BMX riders.
In an effort to help out these BMX friends in Australia, Ryan is asking the BMX industry to rally support and send equipment for those who have lost everything. We are looking for equipment, safety gear, clothing, shoes or anything a rider needs to get back on his bike.
BMX companies from around the world, the riders down under need your help. Please email Brad Lusky (blusky@wmgllc.com) at WMG for the shipping address to send your much appreciated donations.
Ryan would like to thank you for your support!!!

Haha ! This sounds like a great idea though. They lost everything, not only their bikes, but there homes, friends, and tragically for some, family.
