Woodward West, MegaRamp, and DC Shoes Partner to Debut A MegaRamp structure at Woodward West The Woodward West MegaRamp training facility on the West Coast is officially open at Woodward West in Tehachapi, CA. Top-skaters such as Bob Burnquist, Lincoln Ueda, Jake Brown, and BMXers Andy Buckworth and Morgan Wade attended the kick-off celebration along with DC pro skateboarder and MegaRamp pioneer Danny Way, to be the first to tackle this behemoth. Built by Woodward partner CA Skateparks/CA Rampworks the MegaRamp structure was built to the same specifications as the MegaRamp structures used in competitions. The sloping roll-in leads to take-offs with 50, 60, or 70-foot gaps, skaters and riders land into a 27-foot-tall quarterpipe. During its trial runs, the MegaRamp structure saw its share of crashes but also produced an amazing session.

Eurobike 2010 has started. We did a quick lap around the Messe in Friedrichshafen to get you a little peek in what the BMX companies are bringing next year. More to come but the show is just open for 2 hours and you’ve already got the pics. How’s that for service? Now open the article by hitting READ MORE and then go through the pics to see them bigger and to read the caption. In the two hours we were not able to talk to everyone yet (would have been nice) and we have not been to everyone’s booth yet so make sure to check back in

The Extreme Playgrounds are going strong in Germany. They're in their fourth year and they're still bringing in killer bands, TV time and a BMX comp. In fact, there's a BMX comp at each stop with an other sport mixed in. This time it was wakeboarding but they've also had the MTB dudes at the Dirt session and they'll bring in the skateboarder at the Street session later on this year. But we were there for the BMX part. If you tried to watch it live through this site we feel sorry you had to deal with the music and wakeboarding too. Even the BMX program got changed because of the weather. The hired tent was leaking so only on dry moments the complete spine ramp was available. It was good the tent was there though because drying off 2 square meters on the ramp was better than drying off all the decks, the bikes and the rest of the equipment.

Riders were brought in from France, Holland, Germany, England, Czech Republic, and Spain for the head to head contest. 14 riders in total lined up for the first heat. The rider brackets were decided upon

Mike Vincent: Well, just over 2 1/2 years ago my life was turned upside down. As many of you know, I was hit by a car while riding my bike in Los Angeles. I was in the bike lane and the girl that hit me actually drove into the bike lane. She threw me 30 feet.
