Daniel Dhers had a big 2008, becoming the Dew Cup Park Champ (with 4 out of 5 wins - his third title in a row), X Games SuperPark Champ, and NORA Cup Ramp Rider of the Year, among other things. Oddly enough, DD didn't have a bike sponsor through all that, but that's changing for '09. He just signed with Germany's KHE bikes, and signature products are on the way - he needs more than just a signature condom from Albe's anyway...

Daniel's chilling out in Venezuela at the moment; check out a quick interview he did with Vital right here, and get ready for more domination this year, starting with the Simpel Session in Estonia in January. Good luck Daniel!

As most of you know, Mike Aitken has been home for a bit now, heavily rehabbing to get back from the nasty bail he took in Pennsylvania in October (stay up on his progress on his site). Well, physical therapy isn't the only thing he's been focusing on - he's taken the opportunity to launch Vigilantia, a clothing company he's been kicking around for a while. His first product, a stylin' trucker hat, is already available at Utah's hot shop, 5050bmx. Head on over and pick one up for yourself, and knock a few bros off your Christmas list while you're at it.

You can also make donations to help with Mikey's staggering health care bills here. Tis the season...
