Loving this new piece from Max Cvetkovic! He's been stacking clips for this Colony video with Cooper for a couple years now when he wasn't laid up or travelling the world. Filmed entirely in and around Melbourne, Australia and highly recommended.
The First Box Jump Contest Ever? / HB / 1988 (BMX)
Skyway TA episode
The day after my session with Spencer, I headed a few more hours south of Charlotte to check out the CGI Facility. They're a motocross track, but I saw they were building some BMX jumps on Instagram. Since I was headed south already, I figured I'd stop by to check in on the progress and maybe make some tweaks.
Here's a little film with my favorite moments and clips from Australia! It's awesome being able to relive the journey and I loved the entire trip! I hope you all enjoy!
CVM NOW - FEBRUARY 24 / Entity BMX Shop
Check out Kevin Peraza, Tom van den Bogaard, Anthony Jeanjean, Bryce Tryon, Mike Varga and the rest of the @MonsterEnergySquad warming up for Ultimate X 2024 in Cape Town, South Africa with a dreamy sun-downer session at the epic Hellsend Dirt Compound.
Almost time again for the annual Mini FATJAM. We'll have to fix that dirt spot in the coming weeks to make sure everyone can enjoy a day of dirt riding at the Sugar Hills Trails in Aarle-Rixtel. The trails first appeared in 1990 and they're still there. It's also the first year we threw a Mini FATJAM. 2024 will be no different. Same concept. Bring your bike. Ride as much as you like. Hang out. Jump the Killer. Chill. Clear the doubles. Catch up. Find new lines. Crack a beer. Learn a new trick. Win a prize. Vans, Paul's Boutique and TSG have got you covered.
BMX-ers together in one place having fun. That's basically it. It's that simple. Help is welcome getting the jumps in shape, getting rid of the grass, making sure everything runs smoothly. There's plenty to be done and everyone can help. We'll have music and Paul will grab that microphone around 15:30hr which will be the time the goodies will find new owners. For those who've never been to a FATJAM, this is your chance.
The afterparty will take place at OJA. Anything goes at that place. So be prepared. Booking.com for places to stay. Google maps for Directions (Valkendijk, Aarle-Rixtel, Brabant, Netherlands). For those needing bike parts, contact Paul's Boutique BMX to see if he's got what you need.
The BNG crew never stop! They're back with another dose of cold, crusty UK street for ya, this time featuring: Tariq Haouche, Tom Cookson, English Gary, Thaddeus O’Callaghan, Chris Smith, George Clarke, Bear, Adam Darby, Kayden Hankinson, Adrian Skiba, Ben Gordon, Mike Curley, John Gav, Jamie Walsh, Calen, and Louis Robinson.
Velosolutions UCI Pump Track World Championships: Announcement of 2024 Qualifiers External
The series of 15 qualifying events for the 2024 Velosolutions UCI Pump Track World Championships is set to kick off in April. The top athletes from the Qualifiers being held on Velosolutions Pump Tracks around the globe will earn the right to compete for the coveted rainbow jersey. After a season-opener in the heart of Genk, Belgium, the series will continue through captivating landscapes worldwide: from Sepheo in Lesotho, to the home of the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) in Aigle, Switzerland, then on to the historic town of Ainsa, Spain, and the adrenaline-packed venues of Sugarland, USA and Košice, Slovakia.
European charm meets pump track fervour as Otrokovice, Czechia, provides the stage for pump track specialists before the series of qualifiers moves continents: to Asia and an event in Yantai, China. Hvidovre, nestled in the picturesque surroundings of Copenhagen, Denmark, will provide the backdrop for the next exhilarating qualifier, followed by Dungog, Australia and Havelock North in New Zealand, offering a chance for Southern Hemisphere riders to shine. The competition will then traverse the natural beauty of Sicamous in British Columbia, Canada, before continuing its journey to Monthey, Switzerland; Suizhou, China; and Erlangen, Germany.
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
