Up until today there is no sign from Team UK. Just like that plane falling off the radar yesterday it looks like they have just disappeared. If they will make it to Belgium in time for the Let It Ride Bowl contest this weekend we will have to see. But there is 10.000 Euros on the line so chances are they will make it. You can always rely on the Germans to come over. Team Europe will probably be late and Team France is on its way to Kortrijk already. Here's the latest update with some photos from Kang: 
Out of a field of 30 BMX riders, Larry Edger won the BMX park competition Saturday at the Gatorade Free Flow Tour’s stop in Perris, Calif. Fifteen-year-old Edger from Corona, Calif. earned the victory at The Compound after executing a 360 tailwhip and a 180 tuck no-hander in his winning run. Daniel Sandoval was second and Steven Rice finished in third place. “I’m so excited to win on the Gatorade Free Flow Tour,” Edger said. “My hands won’t stop shaking!” “Today’s competition went well,” Compound owner, Shane Guillen said. “There were a lot of good rippers that came out to compete. I’m glad I wasn’t a judge! It was a tight contest.”
With the win, Edger earns an automatic bid into the Gatorade Free Flow Tour Finals that will take place at the Dew Tour’s Toyota
So I made it back home after a long journey from france were TJ Ellis, Rob Darden and his, wife plus me had a 13 hour lay over in Paris and we all decided to go to the town but it started to rain and got a bit cold were I got super sick from it but still decided to got to the Warriors of Wood (Ryan Nyquist comp) and rode it. I missed finals by couple spots.... The comp was a bit different and what I mean by this is a wood rythm section is not the same as dirt rythm but every one made it a point to send some good runs let a lone MT bike riders too. 
Here´s another update on our adventures. Yesterday we met up with two locals in Barcelona. Fernando showd us arround and we maneged to see some really cool spots. It´s unbelievable how big Barcelona is and what spots it has to offer. I really think you can stay here for three months and never ride the same spots during that time. Here are some images, have fun and catch ya tomorrow. .andy
Out of a field of 19 BMX riders, Bryan Lacombe won the BMX park competition and Anthony Garcia won the BMX vert contest Sunday at the Gatorade Free Flow Tour’s stop in Newnan, Ga. Eighteen-year-old Lacombe from Fort Myers, Fla. earned the BMX park victory at Factory Skatepark after executing a tailwhip transfer and an alley-oop tailwhip on the quarterpipe during his winning run. Jovanny Benitez was second and Devon Smillie finished in third place. “It was exhilarating,” Lacombe said. “I’m so tired but so stoked to go to the finals in SLC. This is a big relief coming off a bad year for me.” In the BMX vert contest, 17-year-old Garcia used an almost-flawless run that included no handers, bar spins and double seatgrabs to secure the win. Benitez took second place in the vert competition as well, while Cade Wall rounded out the top three.
“Today’s competition was another great success,” Factory owner, Dean O’Reilly said. “It’s great to know that the Gatorade Free Flow
When you're on the road it's tough to send out daily web updates. With four teams on the road at the same time it makes it a little easier to come through with the goods. Team Vans France is leading in the number of updates though and here is another one and I think team Vans UK has been captured by aliens. No news at all from Mad Jon and his crew.

Two days ago we went to check out some unexplored spots in the area of Barcelona. We went to Sabadell and could find some things to nibble on them. Unfortunately Ben Hennon crashed and we spent half the day for him getting stitches in the chin. He's ok though. Yesterday we went to Terrassa and rode some nice ledges, banks and curbs. All on the sudden a kid in a Vans shirt recognized 
Day 2 is done. Today was a trail day near Toulouse. We just took Jeremy Muller (flow team) this morning to complete the Team for 3 days... Good times, perfect jumps, some styles, some tricks, an other good day on the Let It Ride for the French Team. Big Thanks To Lionel and the Locals for the all the work during this week to get the Trails ready. Tonight was a downton session to find some Beers and to meet Anto Lille who just back from the Hospital. 
The Highway to Hill (H2H) contest at the Mellowpark in Berlin was one of the German contests that I'd heard good things about but had not chance to visit yet. At the last H2H at the beloved Mellowpark it was time to get there. I should have visited it the year before as well. It all started on Thursday with the traditional BBQ but I was not there as it rained in Berlin.Friday the program continued with an open session for everyone.
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
