3,000 pieces of paper scrapped, 800 pencils broken, 300 Espresso’s and a broken wrist have gone into the all new 2012 Pro Park Design and the end result shows it has all been worth it! Designing a Professional Park Course for an event like Relentless Energy Drink NASS it is not an easy task - factoring in preferences of skateboarding, BMX and Inline and coming up with a layout and plan that can bring the most out of all athletes.

Putting a brake in your product line isn't all too hard. They've got this catalog over in Taiwan that has all the parts. If you you pay a few cents extra, they'll even print your name on it. Job done. The hard way is designing the brake from the ground up, like the people from Free For Ride did with the Clito brake. You'll need people for the design, the 3D drawings, the packaging and a team to test it all. But then, you can be proud on the finished product.

The second of June 040BMXPARK will host the first amateur & pro contest at 040 BMX Park called the 040 BMX OPEN! Vans, Paul's Boutique and Pro-tec joined in to make this contest possible and it will be well worth the trip to Eindhoven! We decided to work with prices for top 5 instead of top 3 so there's more chance to win something. Qualification will be 1 minute run plus two attempts for a last trick. Finals will be in groups in jam format.

The Free Flow Tour today announced the complete schedule for the 2012 season. Hosting a total of 9 contests at 12 parks this summer, the Tour officially kicks off June 9 with coast to coast contests at returning host Incline Club (Lakewood, N.J.) and at new host park Woodward West (Tehachapi, Calif.). For details on registration location, time and forms visit FreeFlowTour.com. The starting point for the successful careers of now-pro athlete Mike Spinner (BMX park), the Free Flow Tour offers amateur competitors the opportunity to compete directly into the professional contest circuit. With a berth into the Dew Tour competitions, the Champions debut on one of the largest action sports stages in the world.

Spanning the top parks across the U.S., the Free Flow Tour will hold contests in BMX park and dirt. The top three finishers in each contest will advance to the Finals. Held at the Dew Tour events in August and October, the finalists compete on professional Dew Tour courses, where the overall Champion
