OK - first off Zach & Mark spent a week on the Relentless tour which covered some serious ground in the Uk ending up at Nass, the tour hit up Leeds, Liverpool, Stoke Plaza, Epic, Minuet Park Saffron Walden & Bay 66 London a show of the tour will be show on the Extreme Channel (dates tbc) Mark went on to win the 2nd round of the Braun Cruzer tour at NASS which makes him the tour Champion with 1 left to go, he also placed 3rd in Street. Mark placed 3rd in Cruzer tour at the Suzuki Masters in Cologne last weekend he unfortunately took a slam on a flat spin 900 breaking his arm in 3 places, he needed surgery and will be out for 8-12 weeks minimum which means he will miss the Dew Tour and the X-Games this year.........get well soon Mark! Chris Mahoney has also been going off this month with a 4th place in Street at Nass and 5th place in Street, I think he broke a bone or 2 in his foot on a bad landing side flipping the Braun Spine, Chris isnt one to let a little broken bone stop him he went to the Suzuki Masters with the rest of the team and placed 4th in the Spine contest just behind Mark Webb. Sam Foakes also hit up NASS with some amazing riding to take his first Pro win at Nass this year, he has been ripping of late and went on to place 3rd at The Suzuki Masters last weekend, well done Sam. Dean Cueson entered the Street contest at Nass and did amazing against a field of riders way older than him, he pulled a huge 720 over the Jump box/Volcano during his run. Keelan Phillips is now on the UK flow team along with Ashley Charles. On another note we all wish Stephen Murray a good recovery from the injuries he received during the dirt final at the Dew Tour, please go to www.stephenmurray.org to find links to the Stephen Murray fund which has been set up by his family & friends.
