This year was a real busy one at Paul's Boutique BMX shop so it was hard to plan a weekend to go on tour with the team. Very late in the year we can't ride outside so we did an " Indoor tour" in Holland and Germany. Our "FACTORY TEAM" has 4 people:

Pim van den Bos, Dennis Keunen, Riccardo Moes and Michael van der Lee and we had Vladdie de Koning from our "NBR TEAM" to go with us this time, and a mistery guest called BH. 

Old school BMX lovers will like this one. If the girls are not to their liking, at least it's got the all green Skyway Street Beat bike. Let's make this a 18+ FATBMX pin-up. To be considered old school you have to be over 18 anyway......Thanks to JT.

Frame: Mirraco Black Pearl 20.8' gray
Fork: odyssey race
Stem: Solid Bikes Lite stem
Pedals: animal Steven Hamilton with one looseball and the other sealed
Bars: subrosa 8'
Grips: animal Edwin Delarosa

The ABA sent some info on their  "The Greatest Race on Earth"!  that took place last weekend. Here's a quick overview of the 2007 ABA Grands weekend that took place in Oklahoma.

2007 ABA BMX Hall 'O Fame Inductees:
Industry - Elaine (Holt) Osmond
Riders - Dennis Dain and Greg Grubbs 

We received issue #67 of Props in the mail. Always stoked when that happens. We threw the disc in the computer (this time) and found out that number 67 started off with a splash. Philip (who was on the computer next to me) looked over and started laughing when Mark Potoczny fell into the water. A little later he let go a WOW! when Mark hit that tree and then he returned to his own program (watching movies on youtube). The Potoczny bio had a decent trail section too. After a commercial break the video continues with the Rebel Jam report with an intro from our German friend Harold "Ich Spiele Geige" McGruther. On the video it was good to spot the big crowd at this year's Rebel Jam and the mini/dirt/street riding was awesome. Commercial break. The Incline Club spot check is Scotty Cranmer's home park. Scotty was in town too and delivered some acrobatics on his Felt bike that will make you hit the rewind button to figure out what he just did. Commercial break. The Tree Bikes team made it to Canada and found alternative ways to shower. 

Dirtjump contests don't get much better than the Red Bull Elevation in Whistler, Canada. First of all, take that location. It's one of the most beautiful places on earth. It's got hotels, it's got bars, it's got bears and it has those huge lifts that take you to the top. In the wintertime the place is filled with snowboarders. In the summer the mountain bikers invade the town and in 2010 Whistler hosts the Olympic Winter Games. But there is one weekend in the year that makes more sense for BMX-ers to make the trip up there; The Red Bull Elevation. The jumps are built well in advance to make sure they're perfect when the best riders in the world arrive. Going down the hill it's possible to build bigger stuff (more airtime) and with some money (and prestige) on the line you know this place goes off. 

This times nightjam is called “SKITTAAA!...” The game “SKITTA” is similar to “SKATE” or “BIKE”. Except for the fact that it’s played in teams of three riders. When your team has managed to get to the word “SKITTA”, you and your team are out of the game and or your way home crying like a baby! (No exceptions!) 

The Holiday season is here and things are not slowing down. We have been super busy with the release of the Hoffman Bikes '08 product line and the deveolopment of tons of new product and clothing.

Nicolas Cambon has an eye for spots. This doesn't always mean they're easy to reach. But if there's a will, there's a way and this time a canoe was needed to get to the tranny that was spotted from far. Check the video and get inspired. Good stuff is out there.
