SE Bikes is stoked to announce our newest dirt/street/park rider, Pat “Lumpy” Laughlin. Coming out of Bensalem, PA, Pat is able to tear it up on any terrain that comes his way. When not doing shows for Hell on Wheels or the Freecycle teams, Lumpy is usually found in his back yard which is home to some of the biggest dirt jumps on the East Coast.

Just after hooking up with SE Bikes, Pat threw a benefit jam at his trails to raise money for Stephen Murray, a fellow BMXer who had a career ending injury in 2007. After riding all day Saturday at the benefit, he went on to the Red Bull “Down and Dirty” contest in Asbury Park, NJ. Not only was Pat on the winning team, but he also won the Best Trick award. Pat donated his winnings to the Stephen Murray Fund.

Pat will be hitting dirt, park and street contests as well as traveling this year doing shows at events ranging from school shows to NASCAR races. Keep an eye out for this kid in ’08.

After his stellar year in 2007, including winning both the X Games and AST Cup in BMX Park, Daniel Dhers has been honored with a nomination as the Laureus World Action Sportsperson of the Year. This is a very prestigious award - the Patron of Laureus is Nelson Mandela and the winners are selected by a jury including sport superstars from Tony Hawk to Dan Marino. Other nominees in the action sports category include Shaun White, Ryan Sheckler and Mick Fanning. Dhers is beyond stoked and is looking forward to checking out St. Petersburg, Russia and all the fancy events that go with the ceremony including a black-tie dinner at the St Petersburg Philharmonic Grand Hall. Have a feeling this might be a tad different then the Arby's Action Sports Awards after-party.

Here is the official stuff: The Laureus World Sports Awards, which recognize sporting achievement during the period February 1, 2007

Took a photo of it and posted it right here (free wireless once again) before getting on the plane. You can watch the movie too, it's right here:
