 -There have been multiple team changes going on but I'm not sure if I remember them all. At least here's a few I remember:

-The WeAreLevel team now consists of: Jay Eggleston (Evil Jay), Tian Moses, Mark Vos, Ollie Palmer, Josh Turner, Calvin Rogers, Michael Faliszewski and Oskars Zajarskis.
-Brian Tunney has stepped down as Eclat's TM. Those duties are now handled by Jeff Allen
-Patrick King is on S&M (flow)
-Sam Willoughby is on Redline
-Jake Daw is on Stereo Bikes
-Rick Thorne is on Ink Block
-Seth Klinger and Brian Hunt on Levi's

-Dave Mirra is busy with the preparations of the King Of The Animal house contest at his warehouse. The place will be closed all next week as the ramps will get some treatment. If you're wondering what Dave thinks of the event, read the interview HERE.

-We received some exclusive OBEY posters from Levi's to give out on FATBMX in a competition. Keep your eyes open for this. It will appear in the right column soon. Good stuff.

-Congrats to Paul, Carry and Boyd on the birth of their daughter Avy. Congrats to Rolf Thijssen, Madelon and Joep Joris on the birth of their son Jaap Julius.

-5 December 1979 was the day that Paul and I got our first "original" BMX bike, the CPX 100. What a ride it's been.

-Chad Kagy will not make it to Berlin for the T-Mobile comp. Instead Austin Coleman was flown over to ride the vert comp. We'll get you the brackets as soon as we can. Final action on Sunday for both vert and street. Did you see Kagy's double loop on the mega ramp? Check it.

-Here's a picture of the Harley Davidson that Chuck Caruthers got upside down last weekend in Prague. Yup, a backflip on a Harley. The landing wasn't very soft and his got sent off the bike Evel Knievel style and the bike ran into the stage bending the forks, bars, broke the fender, etc. What a stunt! The mayor of Prague did a tandem flip too. Nuts!
