The ARMA Energy SNX BMX team continued to make its presence known at the Wendy’s Invitational this past weekend in Portland, Oregon. Brandon Dosch remains 2nd overall in BMX Dirt and Chad Kagy holds on to his 4th place position overall in the Dew Cup standings. Coming from a 2nd place finish at the Chicago stop, Dosch finished 5th in the BMX Dirt Finals. He gave his all in his 2 clean runs with a clean triple tailwhip 360 which allows him to remain in 2nd place overall in the chase for the Dew Cup. Kagy was in a tense BMX Vert Final in which all of the podium finishers from the Chicago stop, crashed on their first runs. It all came down to the wire on their last run in which Kagy was one point off the podium and held on to a 6th place finish which allowed him to keep 4th place overall in the Dew Cup chase. Coming off of his X-Games gold medal, Kagy remains a strong presence in BMX Vert and Big Air.

“The ARMA team has what it takes to win and we’re proud to support them in all of their contests and life in general”, said ARMA 

Six years seems like ages ago. But we're still doing the same thing. Having fun on the bikes. Loads of it today at the FAT JAM and the OJA after party. Yeah!

We've lucked out so many times with the FAT-JAMs and also the 2004 version had perfect riding weather. It's pretty bad opening up an article about the weather, like I don't know where to start. In fact, the event was held months ago and so many people have asked for the FAT-JAM article that I can't wait any longer to type something up. I just finished the OJA party report which is always a big part of the FAT-JAM. If the party is right, the event was al right. Well, ready about the OJA party somewhere else. Let's go back to the Sugar Hills, once again the venue of the FAT-JAM.

In early July 2010, while most of the country was celebrating the July 4th holiday, a group of dedicated BMXers were celebrating the formation of a new company to service the world’s BMX community. BRG – BMX Racing Group was created and has brought together some of the finest people the BMX Industry has to offer. The 2 main partners in the Group are: Christophe Leveque, one of the most historic BMX racers to have ever graced a BMX Bike and Pete Dylewski, one of the most experienced and successful marketing professionals in BMX.

After retiring from competitive BMX racing, Christophe Leveque started US Pro Bikes, a French BMX Distribution Company, and over the past 6 years has become the largest importer of BMX racing products into France. Christophe used the same determination that he did while he was a Pro Racer to take his company to the top.
