We've collected some random pics from the Rebel Jam in Berlin to share with you. The event is great and there's lots going on. It's chill but with hundreds of BMX-ers in one place there is the usual BMX - security fight going and hangovers to deal with. Some riders got hurt and are limping around but the vibe is good and fun is being had. As you can see on the right, Aaron Ross is here. His neon green bike helped in his late night qualifying run. 

Also in Pro Street the 12 finalists are announced. It was a long qualification process with 81 pro riders that entered.  Here are the results:
1. Ryan Nyquist 28 USA

Friday had the pro street qualifying on the program. 90 pros entered. That's pretty insane. It takes a while to go through all these riders. They were divided in 6 groups of 15 riders that got a one-minute run each with a little warm up time for each group. After four groups it got so dark that the last two groups were transfered to the next day. This means that not everyone rode qualifying yet so there are no results available just yet. Michal Beran rode well and so did Bruno Hofmann, Will Love, BF and Bommel. If they make it to the final with the 30 heavy weights that are still to come remains to be seen. We do have some street photos available and a clip of the first day of the Rebel Jam in Berlin. 

The times of Hammer shinguards are pretty much over. It's just cool to ride without them and it doesn't stink up your room at night. There's always a risk for a shinner and this one happened over here in Berlin at the Rebel Jam. Can you figure out who it is? Come on, look closer. Take a look at the shoe. Zoom in. It's his signature shoe that he could poor blood out of in the hospital. Gross indeed. 

If you're checking this post and you're in Berlin, you better enter our contest.  We just built up the wethepeople Beyond that we're giving away to one lucky person on Sunday. We put some limited edition Rebel Jam/Carhartt grips on it  so it's a pretty unique ride. Entering the contest is free but you need to be in Berlin at the Rebel Jam on Sunday to pick up your bike (in case you're the winner). We had Tobias Wicke do a whopper on the bike so you know what it's capable of. You can ride this thing as it is. Enter the contest by going: 

While it was raining cats and dogs all over Germany, the Mellowpark in Berlin got saved by the wet stuff. This gave the riders who had arrived the chance to get some mellow practice in on the street course, the miniramp and the dirt jumps. Awesome. Everyone on the rider list that was announced by the organization made it to Berlin except for Josh Harrington and Chase Hawk. Josh is finishing up his video and Chase broke a couple of fingers and it's hard to be stylish with one hand in a cast.

This weekend during the seventh edition of Flatground, the final stage of the BMX Flatland World Circuit took place in Amsterdam. It was Hiroya Morizaki from Japan who took the win of the circuit with a fifth place at Flatground. We are proud to have Hiroya Morizaki, one of the most influential flatlanders at this moment, as winner of the first World Circuit. Thanks to Freecaster.tv we could reward Hiroya Morizaki with a 1000-euro bonus.

We are working now on the calendar of next year’s circuit, which will again include: Tokyo, New Orleans and Amsterdam.
