Picture Gene and the rest of the boys from KISS throwing down their hottest licks and rocking the crowd in a NWD intro segment. We sent our boy Cody Swansborough in to negotiate the deal. He may have been a bit star struck and really wanted to hang it all out with one of the heaviest hitters in the rock game. "The God of rock meets Freeride." states Swany, "He loved the shirt. Yeah buddy." The outcome of the negotiations? We'll have to wait and see.

During the German New World Disorder 8 “Smack Down” premieres in Munich and Cologne a total of 20.732 Euros had been raised. Tara Llanes (www.tarallanesroadtorecovery.com) and Stephen Murray (www.stephenmurrayfamilyfund.com) can look forward to a real nice pre Christmas present: the two former Bike-Pros will obtain 15.000 Dollars each!

The premieres went just great. Like the years before, the atmosphere during the screenings was a combination of thrill and chill. The after-parties did rock hard like they always do. But this year the charity aspect took a center stage, too. Tara Llanes and Stephen Murray suffered spinal cord injuries this year. To support these outstanding professional riders, money was collected in various ways.

First there were two auctions to their benefit in Munich and Cologne. Kona, Mavic, Camelbak, Fizik, Oakley, Andreu Lacondeguy, Timo Pritzel, Hans „No Way“ Rey, Cedric Gracia and Steve Peat made a lot of bike stuff available. Many thanks for that, like to Red Bull and SRAM for spending decent amounts during the auctions. These two auctions gathered over 16.845 Euros or about 25.000 US Dollars.
