Olivier Morineau, the organiser of the French "Vibrations Urbaines", sent us some info on this year's edition (9th edition). It's one of the best "by and for riders contest" in France. It takes place on 4 and 5 of Nov. 2006 in Pessac (very near Bordeaux airport, or station), and that is the weekend right after the Backyard Jam in England. So if you are in England, you can join the French people because we are trying to organise a road trip from there to France. Last year we had 130 riders for the contest, with all the best French riders and guys like
Hanu Cools, Barry Khone... and
John Petit on the mic and
Manu Sanz on shooting.

Price money is over 5000 euro and the ambiance is very hot! The whole contest in indoors (except dirt if possible with 2 double jumps made by
Patrick "Patoche" Guimez). The Street Park that is constructed especially for the comp, is in constant evolution!

Evening program with live bands on nov 4 and a projection of BMX videos. Restoration and refreshment bar on the site not expensive and dodo (sleeping) in the usual places (car, caravan, friends, beautiful star and hotels). We can indicate contacts of hotel if you wish it. Let me know everything you need, any questions...
