Obey is moving towards a full fledged label, with a collection of outerwear, sweats, shirts, tees, pants, jeans and are now even moving into the jewellery and accessory game.

With the big man recovering from a long night, last Sunday I went and checked out the 2011 Australian Vintage BMX Show’N'Shine hosted by ozbmx, VintageBMX and Roberto’s Custom Powder. Although the weather scared a few off and forced the event to be inside the turn out was still impressive. BMX fiends from all over Australia brought their wares to show off to a more than receptive crowd. With some incredibly rare metal on display there was something for everyone… Even a DeLorean!

My personal picks were the Radberry S&M Holmes built by our mate and Dropouts founder/organiser James, Hollywood pink Hutch and Campagnolo Sheriff Star equipped Floval Flyer. All in all though the images speak for themselves, a great day.

- t, even spotted my old girl now sporting Tuffs thanks to its new owner.

PS. Thanks to Clint for providing the camera and some of these images.

Last Sunday was the launch of Benjamin Deberdt and Mark Gonzales book Le Cercle, at The Outpost, we bobbed in just when the band started and had a peek at the book.
