United in the shire!

Wednesday, July 28th, 2010

Darren Jones runs Warzone bikes in Sutherland shire just south of Sydney. Darren has also been our dealer for United bikes in that area since the United Oz tour in  2008. This tour DVD is free whenever you grab yourself a set of United forks , bars or frame. If you watch it its hard to miss Darren in there in the NSW section sucking down some frosty ones and generally being a hessian! The Powerehouse museum in Sydney noticed this as well and they have done a cool little article on him from "back in the day' to borrow a phrase. Some things never get old right mate?

United vs The Gold Coast

Thursday, July 22nd, 2010

Will Horan is our United connection on the Gold Coast in Queensland, We got the heads up on Will from our good buddy up there Mitch that runs the only BMX store on the coast Helensvale BMX. Will is a rad dude and when he is not shredding the the streets of the Gold Coast he is teaching league footy to school kids up in his neck of the woods. Some of these skills came in handy on the Darwin trip earlier this month when he gave some insightful tips to the grommets up there on Barspin 101! We are stoked to have Will on board with us and we are sure you will for sure see more of him in the coming years!

With sponsors like this you would be smiling too!   Will Horan tearing up your neighborhood soon on the ever popular Mothership!

United heatwave goes on....

Monday, July 19th, 2010

We all had a hot session in Ryan Lloyds hometown of Blyth in the mid north of South Australia on saturday, fears were raised of rain but it held out and the objective of shooting the new United advert for 2020 mag was achieved. Sore and happy we all enjoyed some of South Oz finest to take up some time on the way home. To borrow a qoute "good times , good times "

Blue lines were formed after a little bit, gotta love the lack of dust. The Rubercam was up the tree and it snapped Ryan Sweeping one at his local joint, gotta love the weekend.

United on the move in Oz!

Tuesday, July 13th, 2010

The United Bike Co continues to grow in Australia!, After last months epic arrival of the 2011 Complete Bikes this month sees the arrival of all the new Parts and Accesories. Can somebody say dialed? Dean, Ian and all the crew at United are always busy burning the midnight oil to keep coming up with more creative and useful takes on this thing we call BMX. Simple designs with well thought out graphics and colourways that are not going to make your eyes bleed are the order of the day from these cats and we are super stoked to have there products roll through the building on a day to day basis! These dudes are not off the battlefront though and riding the horse is stilll just as important as it was as the day they started.
