Severed 24" proto goes down under

In the next few weeks one of the Severed 24" prototypes in black and chrome will be sent to Mike Daly at Kickass Bmx Distribution in Australia for a review in the aussie MTB mag Revolution. I have known Mike for a while now and he distributes some of the worlds leading brands, such as Proper, Simple and Deluxe the list goes on and on of his brands. The most important thing about Mike is he rides and that means more than anything!
