So what did the HGM crew do with all the millions they made from the first series of HGMtv? Pimped it up of course with an epic 70's style three story porn pad complete with shagpile carpet on the walls and stairs.
We thought it was time we took you behind the scenes at the HGM Headquarters and there is no one better for the job than the sultry HGM Honey, Katie.

When you hear the words Las Vegas you instantly think of endless money sucking Casino's, bright lights, fast cars and hot looking ladies that can't be trusted for shit. So to put it all into perspective I rounded up an elite crew of animal's too fire the HGM cannon into the heart of this very joint.

View the photos of this epic trip!

Theres an urban underground story about a mythical massive full pipe somewhere in the Aussie bush. Every now and then a group of hardcore skaters would gather maps, supplies and their skateboards and trek off into the wilderness in search of the “APOCOLOOPS”. Some never returned…

One of the great things about being on the road filming stories for HGMtv is that you get to see a lot of cool stuff but every now and then you get to see something really, really cool and “The Ditch” is one of those special places.

As a last minute decision to help fund the first series of HGMtv it was time for me to get back up to the Ningaloo Reef near Exmouth (North West Australia) and chase Whale Sharks for one last season.

For those that don't know Exmouth is one of the few places in the world where the biggest fish on the planet- Whale Sharks- regularly appear at a set time allowing a pretty cool tourist industry to thrive.

How good it is when you wake up on a Monday morning and know that you have got the whole day off, kick back, relax and basically do fark all.

Well that would be the case if you were a cardboard coloured nowheredopey, cause here at the HGM headquarters a day on the lounge just doesn't cut it -unless it was covered in baby oil and there is lots ofthe opposite sex's flesh getting swung around, luckily a pigeon hit the closed

The conversation went something like this:

Brett: No worries Holtzy the sand is rock hard just back her into the water, I'll hitch the boat up and you drive straight out.

Holtzy: Are you sure Brett?"

Brett: Yeah no worries Holtzy look. (Brett jumps up and down on the sand to demonstrate how hard it is)

Holtzy: OK mate if you say so we'll give it a try (Holtzy backs the car into the water and Brett hooks the boat up)

What does a photographer/videographer do when he's not recording the craziest FMX riders and surfers on film? Do a little crazy filming of his own just to keep the blood flowing is the answer.

This year is my third year filming tourists swimming with whale sharks 6-7 days a week for 4 months of the year and I'm still not sick of it. You just never know what you are going to see on any given day as every time you think you have seen everything the ocean serves up something new and exciting to see.

When I finished Homegrown 4: The Curves Of Mother Nature and it’s sister video – The Steel Sessions I was confident I had made easily the best FMX DVD ever produced in Australia but don’t take my word for it. Here’s what a few others thought…

“In first place... CONGRATULATIONS ! I received and watched the DVD´s yesterday and that´s amazing ! I'm serious... a long time I didn´t have so much fun watching a film. Homegrown Maniacs 4 it´s different, a real FMX film !

The big Queensland launch of Homegrown Maniacs 4: "The Curves Of Mother Nature" went off in a haze of alcohol induced laughter and mayhem at Club 299 in Fortitude Valley. A couple of hundred keen FMX fans turned up to the coolest punk club in Brisbane to get a first look at the long awaited film release. Many called it the best movie they had ever seen.
