Vans BMX Pro Cup - 40 riders were narrowed down to 20 who went head to head for the Pro Cup title. In the end it was Larry Edgar who out-blasted and outmaneuvered his competition, but everyone smashed it. Congrats to Larry, Sergio, and Alex Hiam for taking the 1, 2, 3.

This is Adam Shostak, i met him briefly on a working trip to Byron Bay. He walked into my makeshift studio and i asked him if he could tell me his story. Adam is the fundraising co-ordinator of Byron Bay's chapter of Sea Shepherd, and he collects money on street corners by selling Sea Shepherd merchandise. Nothing ever goes into his pocket and he works from dusk till dawn raising funds and awareness for the charity. Sea Shepherd protects the whales from harpoons and defends, conserves and protects marine wildlife. This is about his 11th year now and this will be my seventh year on the streets in direct action. God Bless you Adam, i salute you #seashepherd
