In the search getting a job, I keep getting turned away because I did not have any internships on my resume. Companies seem not to offer any internships, but want their new employees to have them. In response to this, I took my 11 years of racing nationals and my two years of working as an athletic director at an university to create my own BMX freestyle series. 

The Mini-FAT-JAM is around the corner. On Saturday 29 March the Sugar Hills trails in Aarle-Rixtel will be the place to be for everyone who wants to get an early season trails session in.

The SE Racing FACTORY TEAM is getting a cool new look this year. That’s right; the entire WORLDWIDE team will be rockin’ all new red & grey team jerseys, courtesy of Hot Shoppe.

The first of nine Fire Magic Premium Grills Grill-Off Series kicked off this past weekend the ABA BMX Winter Nationals event in Phoenix, AZ. The turn out for the weekends events was excellent. The new track layout, the perfect weather, and the stiff competition were second to none. The Fire magic Grill-Off was a HUGE buzz in the pits and everybody was ready to show case their secret recipes for the judges. With well over an impressive 30 entries, the judges had to narrow the Grill-Off field down to just the top five best of the best dishes. And believe me, it was hard, everything looked and tasted sooooo good!
