As I mentioned the other day, my pal Collin smashed his face up two weekends ago. He managed to mess his teeth up, and I’ll tell you one thing, dentists are not cheap. And Medicare and private health don’t help you out when you smash teeth out – I know from experience.

First up, props to Simeon and Mark for organizing the jam. They were running around all day heckling cats to donate, stoking the barbeque, and I guess just making the event fun. Without their enthusiasm and effort, I don’t think we would have raised as much coin as we did.

Along with Stowaway and Little Black Bike, we donated a bunch of product that got raffled off, and all-in-all the crew raised $750 to go towards Collin’s medical bills (which are somewhere between the $4-$6k mark). Jamie at Stowaway was rad enough to donate Collin a new United 40 frame, cause his looked like a banana after the crash.

Thanks to everyone that came out, donated some cash and had fun on their bike. And thanks to Little Black Bike and Stowaway for getting on board aswell.

The BMX family is strong in Adelaide.
