Fresh from the success of the HGM Ultimate Compound the HGMtv crew got on the road on a quest to wash of the dust and get a bit of salt water in their veins.
HGMtv presenter Alex “Alfy” Cater won himself a jetski when he caught the biggest wave in the Southern Hemisphere last year and with the swell only small it was time to fire her up for some tow assisted punting.

It was Rockinghams turn to join the Revolution as stop two of the Rev Tour once again featured high quality riding on a near perfect day for FMX.
Bike troubles plagued a number of the riders throughout the day but it didn’t stop Rob Adelberg, Josh Sheehan, Russ Lightfoot, Rob Clohessey and Luke Mulcahy from going nuts. The all ages gig at the start of the day was especially awesome with a truckload of kids screaming themselves silly at every opportunity.

In what is possibly a world first FMX show under the circus bigtop tent the Revolution Tour kicked off in Bunbury in awesome style. With first class FMX, sick bands, mini bikes and of course the Rev Babes it was pretty hard not to enjoy the show and I for one are really looking forward to the next two legs in Rockingham and Kalgoorlie.
