-Jon Peacy has a new t.v. reality series coming together with a pro skater. The shows working title is " The good times roll wtih Melch and Peacy". It's an onslaught of major citys country wide charging with a van of bikers, a van of skaters and the deranged, habitual obsession to kill spots. It's going to be a 12 episode series with new riders for each metropolis totaling 60 riders in all...... so sick....

-Maybe you don't like motocross and if you hate it as much as I hate fixies, you should skip this news bit. But for those BMX riders who are into it and ride a bit for themselves (there are loads of th
em), we can tell you that the first race of the Chopped Corn Field races took place last Sunday in Handel. Sander Bisseling made a clip of the goons that you can watch by going here. 1990 MCS BMX team member Boyd Karsmakers won the MX2 hobby class and everyone else struggled somewhere behind him. Next race this Sunday in Boekel. It has been raining like crazy all week so it will be a mud fest. Report of race one: HERE.

-Our buddy (pictured here) has been in chilling in the sun for the last few months. A few more months to go and he'll be back in Ale Blie.

Check the clip HERE. -Those who were expecting BMX Freestyle to be part of the 2012 Olympic games can give up hope. It ain't happening.

-It was Halloween last weekend. Looks like it was celebrated all over the world with BMX jams in England, South Africa, the USA and The Netherlands going on at the same time. Scroll through all the movies and find them. Good costumes too.
-Pieter Possenier has started providing insurances through his Crank BMX network. You can sign up too. They're actually having a jam this Sunday 8 November at the bowl in Kortrijk, Belgium. € 22,50 gets you insured for a year. Ask Pieter for more details.-We're not going to go out like this. As expected not many (American) sites picked up on the fact that BMX started in The Netherlands in the fifties. If you want to post the videos with proof, use these embed codes:
