THURSDAY, MAY 10  Qualification BMX Freestyle Spine Ramp Pro:

JunkieJam 2.0 at the Junktrails coming this 9^th of June. As you may know these aren’t really trails but one wooden trickjump (6 feet high, 10,5 feet radius) with a soft landing and an old school quarterpipe we cut down this time to 6,5 feet high (with 8 feet radius) Last year everybody had a blast trying so many new tricks on this setup so there had to be a sequel…..

The jump was liked by all last year so no changes there. The roller coming into the jump was giving some people a bit of a problem but in true BMX spirit people were helped and coached so at the end everybody was having a good time. This year we will reshape the roller so more emphasis can be put on pushing for hard and new tricks on the jump. Music will be played, free beers will be shared and the BBQ will be lit and again we hope to see a lot of people push their limits without injuries.

Thanx to everybody that is helping but especially DTX13, 0172INK and Paul’s Boutique BMX Hardware Store.

See you guys there, we are expecting to start around 13:00 and the closest know location is Kleiweg 500 in Rotterdam! (just follow the flyover of the tram and watch behind the pillar)

Every brand has a logo, but few can claim a print like Vans can with Checkerboard. Born in Southern California and showcased on the world stage by legendary film slacker Jeff Spicoli, the iconic motif is now synonymous with Vans’ ubiquitous “Off The Wall” lifestyle. To bring the globally-recognized print to the streets and up to speed, Vans presents the Era Pro in Checkerboard, showcasing an elevated, performance-driven take on the original Era icon.

The Era Pro’s inception began when legend Tony Alva partnered with Vans by adding a padded collar and heel cap to the original Authentic to create the Era. Fast forward 40 years and the Era is fully engineered with Vans Pro Classics specifications, offering high impact UltraCush HD cushioning sockliners, Pro Vulc construction for better boardfeel, and lasting Duracap rubber reinforcements. The Era Pro remains as timeless as ever, combining two icons into one modern-day classic.

The Era Pro joins a growing list of heavy hitter Pro Classics, available now in a range of Checkerboard styles, including the Sk8-Hi Pro, Old Skool Pro, and Slip-On Pro. Backed by living legend Jason Dill and emerging style master Rowan Zorilla, it’s clear the future of Checkerboard will be every bit as rad as the past.

100% is proud to introduce two new frames to their complete line of performance and active lifestyle eyewear. The S2, worn by Peter Sagan at the Tour of Flanders and his win at Paris-Roubaix, is a race performance frame made for reaching the podium as well as everyday sports performance. The Sportcoupe is a versatile frame for cycling, triathlon and running pursuits, and was developed in collaboration with 100% triathlete Mauricio Mendez.

S2 DETAILS:
Inspired by the Speedcraft’s legendary success on cycling’s biggest stages, S2 is made for 100% speed. 100%’s innovative technologies and signature lens have been tuned for riding at any level, and S2’s laser-etched edging provides the look of a full frame in a rimless cylindrical shield, for total visibility and comfort.
