I’m sure by now most of you are familiar with the life changing injuries that Stephen Murray sustained back in June at the Baltimore Dew Tour.

This accident occurred just days prior to Props Rock-N-Roll Tour hitting the road. Obviously, Stephen Murray was heavy on our minds the entire trip. Like almost everybody in the BMX world, we wanted to do what we could to help out.

By the end of the trip, I had talked to some of the riders and we decided that we would auction off some of their bikes to help out the Murray family with their mounting medical bills. We even had a few guys who weren’t on the trip who wanted to lend a hand and donate their bikes.

I am happy to tell you that we have a total of 11 complete bikes to auction off. All of these bikes are autographed by the rider who is donating it (except for the DC/SE P.K. Ripper). Each bike will also come with a autographed photo of the rider with the bike.

Below are the dates that each bike will be auctioned off (each one will become a hotlink when auction is running - so check back often).

Nov. 1-10 - Mat Hoffman’s Hoffman Bikes Condor

Nov. 3-12 - Chase Hawk’s Fit Hawk

Nov. 5-14 - Mike Aitken’s Fit S3 Aitken

Nov. 7-16 - Rob Wise’s Mirraco Fivestar

Nov. 9-18 - Morgan Wade’s Mutiny Captain

Nov. 11-20 - Corey Martinez’s United Trinity

Nov. 13-22 - Etnies “Ghost Rider” bike

Nov. 15-24 - Ruben Alcantara’s T1 Ruben

Nov. 17-26 - Sergio Layos’ Fly Pantera

Nov. 19-28 - Nora Cup D.C./SE P.K. Ripper

Nov. 21-30 - Tim “Fuzzy” Hall’s Redline

We’ll also be auctioning off a Levis banner, T-shirt, and piece of metal, all signed by the Rock-N-Roll 2 riders. Brian Kachinsky and Aaron Ross left their helmets, and these will be up for auction. Finally, some Hoffman DVDs signed by Mat himself.

We would like to personally thank all of these riders and their sponsors for being involved in this cause.

Stay strong Stephen Murray.

2008 HB COMPLETES ROLLING IN!!!

Today, we received our first truckload of ‘08 Hoffman complete bikes and more are coming next week. For those of you that already have pre-orders, we are in the process of getting those orders together. So, expect a call from Scott soon.

If you don’t have pre-orders with us and plan on ordering please contact us a.s.a.p. We are already pre-sold on several of the models and the rest is also moving fast.

Dealer E-commerce Site

This month we have been putting a lot of extra hours into the new dealer E-commerce site. We hope to have the site complete in the next 10 days and will officially launch shortly thereafter.

Sidewall Dealer Catalog

We are also hard at work finalizing the dealer catalog. This will not be just a regular old fashion catalog. We are putting together a 3-ring binder, which will allow us to add and update pages so your dealer catalog will always be up to date.

We are hoping to have this completed by end of the month and ready to be sent out to you by mid November.

Till next time. Thanks
