The Bike Show at the NEC in Birmingham had turned into a bigger contest a few years ago and the newly formed Cycle show in London has the potential to take over. BMX demos this year, and hopefully a comp next year. A few of the riders who were shredding were Mike Miller, Ben Hennon, Scott Ditchburn, Niki Croft, Paul Ryan, Bas Keep, Isaac Lesser, Mark Love and Ronnie Surridge. Give them a box jump, spine, quarter and a bank to wall and you'll see some action. Here are a few pics. If there's a contest next year, we'll be back. 
The Nike 6.0 Tunnel Jam went off this weekend as 10 invited industry teams battled it out in the custom-built underground 80 metre long park. More then fifty riders enjoyed two days of practice sessions on the virgin park (built and designed by the local riders and crews from the surrounding area), followed by a daylong Jam on Saturday that split the ten thousand dollar prize purse. After a day of intense and progressive riding the results were as follows:
The likes of Garrett Reynolds, Maxime Charveron, Dennis Enarson and Bjorn Mager won the team contest in England in some modified tunnel last weekend. Best line award went to Dan Lacey, Best Trick went to Jason Phelan and the riders chose Sebastian Keep as rider of the contest. The locals now get to keep the ramps on this secret spot which, after the weekend, cannot be that secret anymore.

Last weekend we hold our 5th Jam in the local Skatepark in Eiserfeld. Due the bad weather in the past years it was kinda risky to another one at the end of septembre, but unfortanely the weather was better than ever before. First of all there was a local contest for the upcoming kids from Siegen. About 50 kids rode it and they all did pretty good. The first place went to Eddie Baum, a 13 year old kid. He´s local so he knows all the good lines, which you could saw during his runs. Doing all the transfers and wallride combos..

Once again it was proven that it doesn't matter where you are as long as you've got your friends around you, you'll have a good time. The change from the Hardrock to the House of Blues didn't stop anyone from going to the biggest BMX party of the year. Sure it dragged on for a bit before the Nora cups were given out and the FIT video was shown but I had no problem hanging out with the people who were there and getting wasted at the same time. Time to party, you know. Here is a selection of the pics that showed up on my

Great Britain-native Jamie Bestwick won the BMX vert finals on Sunday at the Dew Tour's Toyota Challenge, marking his third straight win of the 2009 season. Bestwick's flawless run included a flair over the center bank gap, an alley oop tailwhip and a 540 alley oop, giving him a score of 93.38. The win puts Bestwick 54 points ahead of his closest competitor in the Dew Tour rankings, making him the top contender for the Dew Cup, an honor he has received four consecutive years.
