The Riders List is up, still a few to come but it gives you a good idea who you'll be chilling and skating with at BTB this year.
The sponsors are all getting back on board. A huge thanks to those who have come back from last year to help us again. Also super pumped to see new sponsors too, it means more value for the riders and more auction items at the annual sunday auction. Be sure to check them out at the bottom of the page.

Our great friend and fellow BTB committee member Andy 'Sakamoto' Smith has written a great review of the BTB weekend. Be sure to check it out.
Also a big thankyou to Steve Daddow from Daddow Skateboards for this year's BTB Signature Deck, and to Damian Sturgess from Sturge Boards for the first BTB street luge at our sunday auction. Both the Signature Deck and the BTB street luge were valuable contributions and helped raise extra funds for the luekemia foundation at sundays auction.
In total we raised close to $12,000 for the Leukaemia Foundation. Thanks to all the riders for helping out, and for all those who bidded at the auction, everything counts and we hope to do better in 2012.
Cheers!

Well it is over for another year. It was a fantastic weekend!
Below is the article from the local paper on Thursday the 12th of may. The TV News story was awesome and you can see it here.
Huge thanks to everyone who made it possible,the organising committee, the volunteers, the crew on the barbie, the coffee man, Shane Madeley who took a weeks holiday to help out (staunch all week), the sponsors (you want radios that work and work well? UHF Comms we had full comms for the whole weekend, want a ute that just keeps on giving? Get a BT50 they didn't miss a beat all weekend and they worked hard) and especially you guys who came from all over Oz and brought your stoke with you, you have made me want to start thinking about BTB 2012.
It looks as though we have raised about $12,000 for the Leukaemia Foundation and Chas and Erica pulled about $800 for the Cancer Council so probably better than 2011 (just a pity BHP isn't doubling it this year).
Thanks again everyone who came and helped and rode and laughed and laughed and laughed, to those who didn't come, start saving now for next year or you'll, again, miss out on the best fun you can have in public (;-)>
