Morgan Wade has been tipped by his fellow riders to be a top candidate for the Metro win in April. Morgan probably doesn't care. He does what he does and whatever happens, happens. As long as we get to see a high table and a flair transfer I'm okay with that.

How many Metro Jams have you visited prior to the Singapore one?
Morgan Wade: I've ridden in 5 Metro Jams so far. My first was the Vancouver Metro in 2004 and I haven't missed one since.

What are you expecting of the trip?
Morgan Wade: To see a new place and have a great time doing so!

Being in a different part of the world together with fellow riders does that automatically mean good times?
Morgan Wade: Always!!! 

Working at Woodward seems like a dream. Lloyd Ramsay met up with Shawn Dorton and had a talk about what it's like to work at ramp heaven.

How many years have you been working at Woodward for?
I started working for Woodward in '95...the summer I turned 18 and was old enough. I came out to Woodward West in '03.

Is it true that your green helmet is older than most of the campers?
Absolutely. A friend of mine brought it out to me while I was a camper at Woodward in '93. I've used it ever since...and have replaced the padding about 6 times. I actually have one original pad and one original rivet in it. 

Red Bull Empire of Dirt, the world's first BMX DIRT SLOPESTYLE contest, is the brainchild of UK rider Kye Forte, and combines influences from each of the BMX styles, to create one unholy new discipline guaranteed to challenge the very best on the planet. "The aim of the Empire of Dirt is to bring together all different aspects of BMX in one contest; to really challenge the rider's versatility," says Kye Forte, Newton Abbot local and top UK rider. "We also want to make the week surrounding the event totally memorable - both for the riding, and the social scene - putting Devon on the global BMX map."

The monstrous Red Bull Empire of Dirt course will take over a month to build, swallow thousands of tons of dirt and will feature an epic dirt superpipe, huge double jumps, and technical street obstacles, including rails, boxes and wall rides.
