Japan's world-class BMX rider, Rim Nakamura of TEAM G-SHOCK, tours Shanghai's street spots.
The first stop of the 2025 Monster Energy BMX Triples dirt jump competition went down this past weekend and the level of riding was insane! Ryan Williams proved once again why he's the most talented action sports athlete on the planet!
Traditionell findet vor der kunstform Stock Session ein Warm-up im Stuttgarter Pragfriedhof-Skatepark statt. Das war auch in diesem Jahr der Fall – und auch diesmal ging es dort schon ordentlich zur Sache.
We were going to take it chill on Sunday as there was no need to get up early to follow the day program. We had no schedule and that was perfectly fine. With the sun shining once again (we could get used to that) we decided to go for a run on the beach to start the day. We did breakfast (cereal) in the hotel room as it had a fridge and a coffee machine with unlimited cups. It's not uncommon to pay $50 for breakfast for two in this area. Shit's expensive. Must be the sunshine tax.
We had not been to Huntington Beach just yet so we decided to cruise over, park the car, walk main street, watch some surfing from the pier, do some shopping, watch cars and grab lunch at Sancho's. The Masterpools happened to be at the same place. Lots of flatland riders had made it to Newport Beach for the One Love jam.
Erik Elstran is chronically underrated. ABD RAW FOOTAGE - BMX STREET by Grant Castelluzzo
Erik Elstran might be the most chronically underrated rider on the planet. When you think of Erik you think of quirky riding and him having the biggest smile on his face. Erik rides for himself and its the purest, most beautiful thing. Whether it's some of the best spot usage in the world, to the hardest tricks imaginable, to making you laugh Erik is amazing at all of it and I am thankful that BMX has had Erik.

Saturday. Dilemma. Too much happening. The day after the Birth of the BMX Freestyle Movement book launch 4 things were on the calendar; the annual One Love jam only 7 minutes from our hotel in Newport Beach, the Roasta Mesa Bowl Jam put on by the S&M crew over at the Volcom Bowl in Costa Mesa, the last Vans Combi Pool session in Orange and the Monster Energy AMA Supercross Round 2 in San Diego. Choices, choices, not easy.
As you have probably noticed we have started a motocross platform at FATMX. Philip is venturing into that market and needs to soak up as much information as he can to gain as much knowledge as possible. We put the Rogue on the road again and headed south. Come Leucadia it is time to look for the Enchanted Ramp house. Only BMX-ers will do that. In Encinitas ramps are spotted on the opposite side on the hill. Little things, along with the coastline make traveling in Cali rather enjoyable. The cars and trucks are extra's. 7 cyber trucks a day were spotted on average. Wheels sticking out on the side on big pick-up trucks don't seem to be an issue. Let's just say things are different.
While at the "Fan Fest" we missed the old school BMX bikes that were on display last year. It was a nice addition to the pits. Also missing was a Freestyle MX show this year. Always worth seeing a few whips but the only things going sideways were the Dryfter scooters, a disappointing replacement of the oldskool BMX Bikes and FMX show. We managed to catch up with Eric "Big E" Bartholdus of former Powerlite fame who is now working for Yoshimura RD. We also caught up with Bob Morales
Next up for the DIG Locals treatment is 19 year old Benjamin Godoy from Argentina. This dude has super quick hands and a pretty effortless ability for tailwhips, especially combined with a half cab. Check it out.
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
